Phone fetal monitor!! :)

So if you have a smart phone on android or iphone store!! They have an app called "unborn heart" and if you have headphones you can hear babies heart beat! It says to use the old style headphones and not eat buds but if you pull out and wiggle the plug just right on the ear buds it will work for them!!:)

It works awesome on my phone and I have an iPhone 4s!!

Hope this helps all of you!!:)

Note that it's like at the dr if you are not listening in the right spot you will not hear the heart! You have to find it!!

It works I didn't hear anything but I think that's because the iPad is a brick lol and the mic is so small you have to really know what position the baby is in... if the iPad was shaped similar to the phone or actual doppler it would be way easier to hear. It's a good app tho!!

Hmm. Think ima have to wait then.
I always thought having the phone near you will be harmful from the electric magnetic field coming off of it.
Just like how it causes breast cancer if you hold it close to your chest and such.
Im always putting the phone away from my belly .

If you pull the plug out a tiny bit and mess with it for a few it will work with ear buds! I did it!

And yeah you just push your microphone to your belly and move it around til you hear baby! It's really simple

It works great if y'all can find it! Put your phone in airplane mode when doing it and it's way clearer! You can even record it!
