Fetal heart sound is the heartbeat sound of the fetus. For pregnant mothers, this sound is indescribable and the most pleasant sound. The baby's heart is the earliest working organ, which starts working around 4-5 weeks. So what is the fetal heart sound of a baby at 14 weeks?
The fetal heart sound is a diphthong that sounds like the ticking of a clock, neat, powerful, and regular. During the first eight weeks of fetal development, the fetal heart rate is relatively slow, reaching 180 after that. After 14 weeks, it gradually recovers to 140, and the average value thereafter is between 120-160, which is within the normal range.
If the fetal heart sound is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, there is no need to worry. The baby may be exercising or resting, or it may be due to abnormal development. Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant, conduct fetal heart monitoring, seek medical attention in a timely manner, and observe the growth and development of the fetus. So how to listen to fetal heart sounds? Listen to fetal heart sounds based on the baby's fetal position, as fetal heart sounds often come from the back of the fetus. You can listen to them based on the baby's fetal position. Expectant fathers can place them around the mother's belly button or on both sides of the upper and lower abdomen to listen.
However, it is not very professional for fathers to listen to fetal heart sounds at home, and they cannot judge whether the baby's development in the mother's body is good. Therefore, it is still necessary to go to a regular hospital regularly and have professional medical staff use scientific instruments to accurately locate the fetal heart rate and determine whether the fetal heart sounds are regular. Pregnant mothers must maintain a relaxed and happy mood for their babies to have strong and healthy fetal heart sounds.
