Unisar Prenatal Heart Monitor - Manual (Page 4)

We think the best way to describe each sound is as follows:
Heartbeat: A rapidly galloping horse
Kicks: A soft thud
Hiccups:Two rapid intermittent thumps
Nutrients:
A whooshing sound
A fetal heart beats from 120-180 times a minute while the heart of a pregnant
woman beats much slower. Knowing this should help prevent you from
confusing your own heartbeat with your baby’s.
WHEN YOU WILL HEAR THESE SOUNDS
The heartbeat may be heard as early as your fifth month. You will need
to listen very carefully for your baby’s heartbeat at this point, as it may be
difficult to hear it over the other sounds of your body as well as your own
heartbeat. While the Prenatal Heart Listener
® is designed to tune out these
sounds, they can still get in the way. That is why the best time to listen is
3-4 hours after a meal and when you are relaxed and have a slower
heartbeat.
You may be able to hear your baby’s kicks and hiccups in the middle of
your second trimester, and you will hear the passing of nutrients even earlier.
Remember, as your baby grows and gets stronger, so does her heartbeat and
her ability to kick harder, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t hear
them right away.
NATURAL SOUNDS vs. ELECTRONIC NOISE CREATED BY
DOPPLER EQUIPMENT
You will notice that the sounds you hear through the Fetal Monitor are
different from those you have heard at your doctor’s office. This is because
your doctor probably uses Doppler ultrasound equipment that creates noise
based on movement while the Prenatal Heart Listener ® amplifies the natural
sounds of your baby by using the absolutely safe and non-invasive Bell
stethoscope method of amplification. Your baby’s heartbeat will sound like
a rapidly galloping horse through the monitor while it will sound more like
a gushing noise with the Doppler equipment. 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 AND YOUR OWN HEARTBEAT
With our recording cable and your own tape recorder you can record your
baby’s sounds to cherish forever. We also encourage you to record your
own heartbeat prior to your baby being born. The sound of your heartbeat
will have a calming and soothing effect on your newborn baby.
