For each future mother it is very important to hear beating of a heart her not been born remains yet. To define heartbeat of a fruit became possible thanks to several methods, for example, by means of a usual obstetric stethoscope, the ultrasonography device and also when carrying out an echocardiography of a fruit.
Instruction
1. The easiest way to hear heartbeat of a fruit - by means of a medical phonendoscope. Apply a phonendoscope membrane to a stomach, insert flexible tubes into ears. By means of this device it is possible to hear also other sounds of a female body. However it is possible to distinguish heartbeat of the child who is in mother's womb on his rhythm – it approximately twice faster, than at the woman. It is obviously possible to hear by means of a phonendoscope a warm rhythm only by 16 – 17 week of pregnancy. It is possible to distinguish sounds of a fragile heart, having put an ear to the woman's stomach, but it already depends on the provision of a fruit in relation to a uterus wall.
2. Listen to heartbeat of the child at ultrasonography by means of which it is possible to distinguish a pulsation of cardiac muscles of a fruit already on to week3 or 4 pregnancies. By means of the ultrasonografichesky device it is possible to watch the correct development of heart and vessels of a fruit also. This method allows to reveal possible deviations and in due time to render the medicamentous help.
3. Heartbeat of a fruit can be heard on an echocardiography. This method represents the ultrasonic examination of a fruit which is a little differing from usual in the fact that all attention is paid only to heart. Ekhokardiograf allows to investigate functions of heart of a fruit in two modes. The one-dimensional mode is applied to a research only of a cardiovascular system, and Dopler – is intended for a research and the analysis of a blood-groove in different warm departments. The echocardiography helps the expert with a research of the building and function of heart, and also adjacent large blood vessels and can be carried out only according to testimonies of physicians – cardiologists.
4. One more of the most effective methods of listening of heartbeat of a fruit is a kardiotokografiya. It represents simultaneous registration of serdtsebiyeniye of a fruit and reductions of a uterus during childbirth. Kardiotokografiya widely began to be applied at the end of the last century and gave to doctors an opportunity of more thorough observation during the patrimonial period of a condition of a fruit. During fights not only walls of a uterus, but also all abdominal cavity are subject to reductions. It affects first of all intake of oxygen to the child. KTG gives the chance to define also physical activity of a fruit.
