•There are many different sounds being produced by your baby and your body. Increasing the volume also increases these sounds. Keeping the volume at a moderate level usually produces the best results; therefore, adjust the volume carefully.
•Your baby's heartbeat is a very low volume sound and is very difficult to detect until the third trimester. Patience and very careful listening are required to locate the best position to hear the heartbeat.
