Your baby's heartbeat is much faster than your own. Sometimes it sounds like the fast "clippety-clop" of a galloping horse. You can distinguish your heartbeat from your baby's based on the heart rate, yours being the slower one. When using the Fetal Doppler, you may also hear a "swishing" sound, this is the sound of your blood flow. Please refer to the cassette that is included with the Doppler to familiarize yourself with the differences in the sounds.

Why do I have to be monitored if it cannot tell if my baby is in danger?

Untitled Document
You may have been asked to come into hospital more frequently to have your baby’s heart rate monitored (cardiotocograph). There is no evidence to suggest that carrying out this procedure will identify the ‘at risk’ baby but it may help to reassure you. On the other hand, some women report that having to go into hospital so frequently actually increases their anxiety. Talk to your consultant or midwife about what you feel will help you the most.

Finding the heartbeat can be daunting at first as your baby may be lower than you expect. Make sure you have used a generous amount of coupling gel and position the probe low down on your abdomen. If you do not hear any sound at first, move the probe slowly until you pick up the heartbeat. The fetal heart beat sounds like a galloping horse and is very fast at 120-160 beats per minute. If you still have difficulty then refer to the leaflet enclosed with your Doppler.

How can I tell it's not my heartbeat I can hear?

Fetal Doppler | Fetal Doppler Rental | Angelsounds Fetal Dop...
The sound of the fetal heartbeat is distinctive, but can often be confused with other sounds at first. You may well have heard it already during your antenatal appointments with your midwife or doctor. It is a regular fast beating sound, not to be confused with the swishing sound of the placenta. A pulse that is more high-pitched than your baby's heartbeat, but at the same speed. This is the pulse through the umbilical cord; a very pregnant and reassuring noise !
