Can stethoscope be used to detect fetal pole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A regular stethoscope can pick up the fetal heart beat but that is about it. When i was a young medical student with better hearing i was able to pick up my first child's heartbeat during the early second trimester. He'll be 41 later this year!
