How to monitor the fetal heartbeat at home?
Two different principles and methods can be used to listen to the fetal heart rate at home:
1. From the 16th week of pregnancy, expectant parents can use home Doppler fetal heart rate monitors to monitor fetal heartbeat. The principle is the same as that of medical monitoring equipment for pregnancy test fetal heart rate: the Doppler effect is used to amplify the fetal heart rate, allowing medical staff and the pregnancy period. Parents can hear the sound of fetal heartbeat more clearly and accurately, and use electronic equipment to realize scientific functions such as counting and recording of fetal heartbeat.
2. Medical staff with certain experience can also hear the fetal heartbeat with the help of ordinary stethoscopes. But usually, with this method, a certain amount of medical experience is required to find the position of the fetal heart, and the heartbeat sound heard is also small. Ordinary pregnant women do not have professional experience and may make a misjudgment of the fetal heart rate.
The fetal heart rate monitor is mainly used as an electronic instrument for fetal heart rate monitoring, and is mainly used to calculate the fetal heart rate. Doppler fetal heart rate devices are commonly used in the market, and ultrasound Doppler technology is mostly used, and the ultrasound dose is small.
