Some pregnant mothers are always worried after getting pregnant, afraid that their baby's development may not be so normal, so they want to know the baby's condition by listening to the fetal heart rate. But now there are many instruments for listening to fetal heart rate, so mothers may have trouble choosing which one is better. Can fetal heart be heard with a stethoscope at 33 weeks of pregnancy?
At 33 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate should be audible. Using a stethoscope to listen to fetal heart rate depends on the time, sometimes it can be heard, and sometimes it cannot be heard. Because stethoscopes are not very precise in amplifying sound, sometimes they may just hear a clock like sound without any other manifestations.
If using a regular stethoscope at home, mothers should not be able to hear it because the position of the fetus is not easy to grasp, so inexperienced mothers find it difficult to determine the position of the fetus. Moreover, there is amniotic fluid in the stomach, which affects the mother's own gastrointestinal motility. In fact, it is difficult to accurately hear fetal sounds.
Using a stethoscope is because the cost is relatively low, but it is not easy to find the true fetal heart rate, and mothers do not need to listen to the fetal heart rate at home every day. Regular prenatal check ups can also be a good way to know the condition of the fetus. If you really want to listen to fetal heart rate and fetal heart rate, instruments such as fetal language devices can be used.
