Please let your OB help you keep your baby safe – My Baby Heart Rate Recorder Review

I am a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist and while I appreciate the thrill of hearing your baby’s heart beat please don’t let apps like this be a substitute for proper evaluation or monitoring. I would rather receive a middle of the night phone call for someone who presented to labor and delivery for decreased fetal movement and had a normal heart beat than to have a stillborn because someone suggested you use an app to listen to your baby’s heart beat (it’s not as easy to find and know what you are hearing as you may think). If you have decreased fetal movement, please call your doctor or go directly to labor and delivery (if at the appropriate gestational age) to be properly evaluated.
