PRENATAL HEART LISTENER® VS. DOPPLER
You will notice that the sounds you hear through the Prenatal Heart Listener® are different from those you hear at your doctor's office. This is because your doctor probably uses Doppler ultrasound equipment which creates electronic noise based on movement. The Prenatal Listener®, however, is designed to amplify the sounds naturally by using the absolutely safe Bell stethoscope method of amplification. Again, the heartbeat heard through the Prenatal Listener® sounds more like the soft, rapid beating of a drum, while the Doppler sound is more of a gushing noise. Please keep in mind that it will take a little practice to pick up this faint sound so listen very carefully.
RECORD YOUR BABY'S SOUNDS & YOUR OWN HEARTBEAT
With our recording cable and your own recorder you can record your baby's sounds. We also encourage you to record your own heartbeat prior to your baby being born. You will then be able to play it back to your newborn after birth which may have a calming and soothing effect.
