How to Hear Your Baby's Heartbeat

    • 1). Drink water to fill up your bladder. Drink enough to where you feel like you need to use the restroom, but not enough to make you feel sick to your stomach. Do not urinate until you are finished listening to your baby's heartbeat.

    • 2). Sit or lie down in a quiet room. Other sounds, even quiet ones, can disturb the Doppler system's output and make it difficult to hear your baby's heartbeat.

    • 3). Apply ultrasound gel to your abdomen and to the Doppler probe. This will help transmit sound waves and make your baby's heartbeat clearer. Apply more gel if you need to or if static becomes a problem when listening to the heartbeat.

    • 4). Slide the Doppler probe over your abdomen, moving slowly from left to right. Most often, your baby's heartbeat will be between your belly button and your pubic bone, but you might find your baby's heartbeat in various places depending upon the baby's position.

    • 5). Record your baby's heart rate. Some Doppler systems will have a read-out on the screen. If your monitor does not have a read-out, you can count the number of beats for 60 seconds or count the number of beats in 10 seconds and multiply by six.
