The fetal heart can be heard with a stethoscope in the fourth month of pregnancy.
With the gradual development and growth of the fetus, the heart also begins to develop and start beating, and the fetal heart can be heard. At this time, the doctor can listen to the fetal heart to determine whether the development of the fetus is in good condition and whether the fetus is healthy.
Generally speaking, when a pregnant woman is about four months pregnant, the fetal heartbeat can be heard near the midline below the umbilicus. However, in the beginning, because the baby is too small, ordinary stethoscopes cannot hear the fetal heart, and it is necessary to use a Doppler stethoscope to listen to the fetal heart, or listen to the fetal heart under the guidance of a professional.
In the process of pregnancy, pregnant women can regularly listen to the fetal heart every day and make a record of it, and tell the doctor the data during the maternity checkup, so that the doctor can better judge the development of the fetus. Moreover, the daily monitoring of fetal heartbeat can be the first time to find the abnormalities of fetal heartbeat, and can go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment to ensure the health of the fetus.
If pregnant women feel uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid delay or cause adverse reactions.
