How should i place the monitor to listen to my babies heart beat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fetal Monitor: For non medical people, the best way is place the monitor below the umbilicus and sweeps on either side of the lower abdomen until you hear heart beat. Whereever you pick up heart keep the monitor there.
