Baby Heartbeat Monitor

Welcome to Baby Heartbeat Monitor World.  It wasn’t so long ago that fetal monitors were only available at the hospital and only really used during a trimester appointment.  Thankfully home based models are now available in the masses and as you can imagine are extremely popular.

There’s nothing better knowing that your unborn child is safe and well, and hearing his or her heartbeat is a truly amazing feeling that is reassuring to both mother and father.

So for the first time you can now buy your very own baby heartbeat monitor. However, with so many models on the market, how do you know what to look for and which ones offer the best results.  Well hopefully that’s where we come in…

First things first, it's widely considered to focus your attention on a fetal doppler heartbeat monitor as these are simple to operate and the technology used to track your baby's heartbeat from around 12 weeks is both safe and proven.

These types of units come with a probe that attaches to directly to the unit. All you need to do is put some gel on the end of the probe and some on your tummy and move the probe around your abdomin until you hear that unmistakably swish-swish sound.

The better models will have an LCD screen that can measure your baby's heartbeat and output the sound directly, so everyone can have the pleasure of hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time.

Also, look for a model that comes with it's own headphones so you can listen privately day or night without disturbing anyone else, and also one that comes complete with it's own gel. You'll be amazed just how many manufactures leave this out, so it's worth shopping around to find one that comes bundled together, otherwise you'll have to buy it separately which obviously isn't ideal.

No matter what baby heartbeat monitor your choose, few things can compare to hearing your unborn baby and knowing that your pregnancy is progressing healthily and reassuringly. Make sure you order yours today!
