Q. What if I don't hear anything in the beginning?
A. Be sure you are far enough along in your pregnancy to hear your baby's sounds. The rewards will be extraordinary if you have patience. How well you hear your baby greatly depends on her position inside your womb. Her heartbeat will be heard best when her back is against your stomach. If you don't hear anything late in your second trimester, you may have to wait until you are into your third trimester, but the wait will be worth it. Hearing your baby will be so exciting and it will bring Dad and siblings closer to their baby.
Q. How soon can I hear my baby's heartbeat?
A. You should hear your baby's heartbeat at the beginning of your third trimester. There are, however, mothers who have told us they heard it late in the second trimester.
Q. What will I hear?
A. You will hear the sounds of your baby's heartbeat, kicks, and hiccups, and the sound of the nutrients passing through your placenta to your baby.

Q. If I don't hear anything, how do I know the monitor is working?
A. Be sure to use a brand new 9-volt alkaline battery and check to see that you have inserted it into the battery compartment properly, matching positive (+) with positive (+) and negative (-) with negative (-). Then test it on yourself. If you can hear you own heartbeat you will know the monitor is working.
