Doppler fetal monitor
A Doppler fetal monitor is a handheld device that uses ultrasound technology to detect and listen to a pregnant woman’s baby’s heartbeat. It works by sending sound waves into the womb, which bounce off the moving heart, creating signals that the device amplifies into sounds. This allows healthcare providers or expectant parents to hear the fetal heartbeat outside the body in real-time, helping monitor the baby’s health and well-being during pregnancy. It's a safe, non-invasive tool commonly used for routine checks or when there are concerns about the baby's condition.
