More questions about fetal heart monitors?
August 24th, 2010
So I finally got my monitor and it really is easy to use. It was much easier find her heartbeat as well.
But I have some more questions for the ladies who have used them.
I swear it’s like she knows what I’m doing. I’ll hear it for about 5-10 seconds and then it’s like she moves away. So I have to go searching to find it again. Has this happened to anyone else? The heart rate also goes from 147 to 155 and back down during this period. Is that normal?
I also noticed that when I have it in the same place I’ll get a crackling like sound or one that sounds like a record scratching. Could this be from her moving around? I can’t feel her moving when it happens but that’s the only thing I can think of too explain it.

Yes mine hates the Doppler and moves away from it I can feel her trying to kick it off and sometimes if you hear a lould noise it’s the baby moving or kicking. As for the heart rate they always fluctuate mines goes anywhere from 130-147. Good luck x
I used one until I could feel my baby moving… the midwife couldnt find his heartbeat yesterday he kept moving whenever she got it… i could hear the movement but couldnt feel it!
