Will I be able to hear movements of my fetus with this stethoscope?

Movements? Probably so, especially if you are far along and your baby is taking up a lot of room. You may even be able to hear the heartbeat! Congrats!

It's my understanding that the Halo has an added vibration feature. If the monitor doesn't detect movement, it gives a small vibration which is intended to cause your baby to wake a little and move. If no movement is still detected, then the alarm sounds. I personally only used the snuza go, which only has the alarm. Hope that helps!

Absolutely! That's the beauty of this particular monitor- it's clipped onto the diaper and therefore moves with the baby. Just make sure to fold diaper over at the top (per the instruction manual) to ensure that it fits securely onto the diaper

Yes, this model suffers from severe "Stethoscope Effect" - very much noticeable whenever connected to your device and you're not playing any music - slightly noticeable while playing music.However the noise is very disturbing (even with your music on) when the cables move near your face or neck.The earphone comes with an adjustable 'cheap' tie that holds the right and left cables together but remember that you cannot move it beyond the microphone to make a tight fit of the cables under your chin to prevent dangling.

I don't believe it would. I'm sorry. Because it senses the baby's tummy movements I feel it would sense the vehicles movements of it is bumpy. Then again if you have a smooth riding vehicle I think it might work

That is actually precisely Why I got it. It works perfectly. I have not had one issue with using it as a baby monitor yet. Even the sound is great. You only hear what you need to hear, there's no interference whatsoever. It makes a great baby monitor, and I would completely recommended for that.

It won't work properly if the surface baby is on isn't motionless (ie in car or bouncer). I'm a bit appalled by all the parents that say they are relying upon it in these places. Monitor works via a motion sensor!

I did not hear any noise. HOWEVER, several medical professionals have told me that the arm bloodpressure is much more accurate. You could compare readings both at the same time to determineif and what difference it makes. (Also, I've been told to wait 5 min. between taking the pressures.

I like this stethoscope. Anything you get with the littman name will be high quality, the difference from the higher priced models is that this is not cardiac specific. It is a general stethoscope. There is no loss of sound identification. You can still hear s1-s2, lung sounds, bruits, murmurs, bowel sounds, and the like.

No. The orientation sensor is internal to the main body and does not make a sound.

No. you can not. but why you need that for. teasing;-). you do not want your baby associate your voice with a monitor. .

I don't see why not... Since it has the tunable diaphragm, the pitches of sounds you hear will change with the amount of pressure applied to the stethoscope head. Based on that, a stethoscope that would have both chest pieces may be better? I think it would just be personal preference. It has 27" tubing, if you are in large animal practice. A longer stethoscope may be desired, but that would still be personal preference. I am a registered nurse, but have used it on my dogs, both large & small, & I was satisfied with results. Hope this helps :)

I have found using a white noise machine in the baby's room is enough sound to keep the monitor on....and turn VOX sensitivity all the way to 5.

It will cut the piercing baby noise by quite a bit. It will cut the high frequency spectrum a lot which I find the most irritating when babies cry.

Yes the audio will pick up any normal consistent sounds in the room (like a white noise machine) and then tune that sound out. It will only come back on after that when the baby makes a sound, or it picks up on anything outside of the 'normal' room sound.

You do indeed. You have to have a stethoscope to hear the blood flow. When you hear it and then don't hear it gives you the systolic and diastolic. If you practice you can do it yourself but generally you have someone else take your bp.

Yes. My twins have slept on their tummies and the sensor never left contact with their skin. You don't have to worry about it coming off and you not knowing, because if it loses contact with their stomach the alarm will sound. That only happened once to us while one of my babies was on his side. I highly recommend these monitors. I've been using over a month now for my preemie twins and have not had one problem!
