1. Are baby heartbeat monitors safe?
The FDA regulates Fetal Doppler ultrasound. No harmful effects on the fetus have ever been reported. The Mayo Clinic says "In 30 years of regular use, no adverse effects have ever been demonstrated from ultrasound testing. Research has been done investigating both the noise produced in utero and the heat produced by ultrasound, and no problems have ever been detected from its use in exposed babies. There is no reason to feel uncomfortable about the use of ultrasound during pregnancy and there are great benefits to using it." The Food and Drug Administration of the United States (FDA) and the Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) have approved the baby heartbeat monitors for in-home use. Still, as with anything in life, we recommend moderation.

2. What if I don't hear my baby's heartbeat?
The first rule is don't panic. There are many factors you first need to take into consideration. First, how far into your pregnancy are you? By 14 weeks 100% of healthy pregnancies will be able to locate the fetal heartbeat with a baby heartbeat monitor. So if your pregnancy is somewhere between 8-14 weeks you'll just have to be patient. The baby may be in a position where hearing the heartbeat is difficult. You may not be looking in the correct area, or haven't yet mastered using your baby heartbeat monitor. If you have questions concerning your pregnancy or the health of your baby contact your healthcare provider. If you feel your having problems with your baby heartbeat monitor give us a call.
