One of the most incredibly moving experiences for a mother to be is the first time she hears the sound of the heart beat of her unborn baby, which is typically when she goes to have an ultra sound performed or hears the tiny heart beat on the Doppler fetal monitor.
Many of the women move to tears at that first sight and sound of her baby and naturally the fetal heart rate is a subject in which any mother will have keen interest.
For some time it was believed that there was a correlation between the fetal heart rate and the sex of the baby, however no such link or relationship has been established, so the fetal heart rate cannot be used to predict the gender of the child.
Many mothers seek the reassurance of a Doppler at home to reassure themselves that all is well with their baby even in-between visits to the ultrasound clinic.
There are such home fetal heart beat monitoring devices available on the market, however some are not as effective as one may wish.
A poor quality one or inappropriately used one may end up causing the mother to be needless anxiety so in some cases a home fetal heart rate monitor can actually be counterproductive.
