What if you are 24 weeks pregnant and the midwife says she cant feel the heart beat?
You can’t feel the baby’s heartbeat through your stomach, if that’s what you’re talking about. You need to see an OB and have them listen for it with a fetal doppler. You can also buy or rent one on a monthly basis and listen to it for yourself. Check out www.babybeat.com. I’m eight months pregnant, and it was wonderful to be able to listen to my daughter’s heartbeat any time I wanted. It was very comforting when it was still too early for me to feel her moving around yet. Make an appointment with an OB, get an ultrasound, have them listen for the heartbeat, and then rent a doppler from that website. I recommend the Advanced Technology BabyBeat Doppler with Recorder. That’s the one we used. You can record the heartbeat and then upload it to your computer. It’s fun to be able to share that with people.
