Can the doctor hear a babys heartbeat better by sticking a finger in a pregnant womans vagina doctor inserted finger in vagina saying its to help hear the babys heart better

It : It sounds like you felt uncomfortable with the examination. There is a possibility that your uterus was being maneuvered to help hear, but this is unusual and you need to address it. Please call the nurse and ask or discuss this with your doctor, and if you are concerned then you should contact the board of medical examiners and ask for advice.

Exam?: I can share with you that in all my years as an Obstetrician I have never done what you’re describing nor have I ever seen a colleague do that. Without knowing the whole story, what you are describing is very concerning and you may consider reporting this to the state medical board. In all likelihood you may not be the only patient to have experienced such an “exam”.
