BabyStemo

Expecting moms listen to fetal heartbeat; New moms soothe their newborn babies.

BabyStemo is specially designed for expecting mom and new mom. It lets expecting moms to listen to the fetal heartbeat sound and record their own heartbeat to soothe their crying babies after they are born.

The pregnancy period is the most happy time of the life. During this period, expecting moms, on the one hand, take care of their unborn babies while on the other hand, prepare for the birth of their babies. Listening to their babies' heart can strength the emotional connections, record the most precious moments, and share with their friends and families.

BabyStemo mainly has three functions:

1. Listen to, record, save and share the fetal heartbeat sound.

2. Record the heartbeats of the moms and playback them to their babies after they are born to soothe them when they cry. Babies get very familiar with their moms' heartbeat (most part of the womb sounds) when they are still in the womb and continue enjoying these sounds after the birth.

3. Listening to the babies' heartbeat during their growth is also some kind of care and emotional connection.

Compared with a fetal Doppler, Stemoscope has two differences.

1. Stemoscope does not use ultrasound to detect the fetal heartbeat, so this avoid potential harm induced by the incorrect use of ultrasound. Fetal Doppler use ultrasound to detect heartbeat. Ultrasound can heart the tissue of the body. Inappropriate use of a fetal Doppler may result in harm to the baby. In 2014, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even issued a safety warning on the use of Fetal Doppler at home. Stemoscope listens to the sounds passively and is more suitable to listen to the fetal heart at home, especially for recreations.

2. Stemoscope does not need coupling gel applied on the belly, so it is more comfortable.
