When you're pregnant, it's like your heart is beating in your stomach.

Pregnancy, especially the first, for every woman is an exciting, restless and desirable period. Among other things, one of the early reasons for going to the gynecologist is pulsating sensations in the lower abdomen. Not every expectant mother is aware of the processes of pregnancy and the changes that her own body plans to surprise. In addition, it is not only impossible, but also not necessary, to independently determine with high accuracy the clinic of the sensations that arise during pregnancy. And you certainly cannot simply ignore them. The likely cause of such sensations is most likely the fact of pregnancy itself, but it may also be a sign of developing negative pathologies.

Pulsation in the lower abdomen during pregnancy: what is it?

Every person can feel periodic jerky tremors in the abdominal area. Often, such sensations are a normal temporary reaction of the body to the movement of blood through the inferior vena cava. Other associated factors can lead to more severe spasms of the venous artery, which is transmitted to nearby abdominal organs.
Such factors may include physical activity, severe stress, or compression of the vena cava during prolonged exposure to an uncomfortable position.
Often this kind of pulsation does not cause pain and goes away quite quickly. To ease the spasm, it is enough to take a position lying on your side for 10–15 minutes and relax.
We should not exclude the fact that there are cases of pulsation in the abdomen with an aortic aneurysm. In this case, the sensations are accompanied by increasing pain centered in the middle of the abdomen. Such symptoms require immediate medical intervention.
But most often, it is pregnant women who feel the sensations of a slight jerky pulsation, located mainly in the lower abdomen. Such a symptom is one of the very first identifiers of developing life. Often it is completely harmless for either the expectant mother or the child, and, therefore, should not cause much concern.

What other symptoms are there?

There are some other important signs of pregnancy in the early stages. Among them are:

Constipation and diarrhea - increased synthesis of hormonal substances has a relaxing effect on intestinal function. As a result, its activity decreases, which contributes to the appearance of constipation, flatulence, and in some cases, diarrhea. Women who have previously given birth may be bothered by hemorrhoids in the first weeks.
Insomnia – even after proper rest, you feel weak and tired.
Intolerance to smells - even previously loved ones cause disgust.
Swelling – the production of progesterone promotes salt and fluid retention, so there is slight swelling of the upper extremities.
Tingling in the area of the uterus - they go away on their own two weeks after the onset of the “interesting” situation.
Headache, migraine – worry a woman due to a significant increase in hormonal substances.
The appearance of acne - as in the previous case, rashes on the dermis are associated with changes in hormonal levels.

Some women will not show any of the above symptoms, while others will be bothered by constipation, frequent urination, toxicosis, etc. throughout their pregnancy. In order to be completely sure that pregnancy has begun, you should take tests.

Ripple by timing: causes and measures

Stomach pulsates during early pregnancy

Along with other signs of fetal development, periodic gentle tremors appear in the groin area in the first trimester. Of course, each woman describes and perceives such symptoms differently, but regardless of this, the sensations are similar.

Many knowledgeable mothers, prepared for the realities of pregnancy, perceive pulsating tremors in the abdomen as a sign of the birth of a new life. Others perceive this as uterine hypertonicity, panic and seek to urgently go to the hospital to maintain the pregnancy. Still others may not notice the changes at all and may not even suspect the development of a new life.
Nevertheless, each of the options for the development of the situation, no matter how absurd it may seem at first glance, may well take place. Therefore, any changes in the body, especially long-term ones, should never be ignored. Only a doctor can clearly establish the cause and prescribe treatment after a thorough diagnosis of the condition.
The doctor’s first recommendation if abdominal pulsation appears during pregnancy will be a screening analysis, which will clearly determine the presence or absence of a threat to the baby. Only after determining the etiology of the clinical picture can we begin possible therapy in such a delicate situation. It is important to remember that any medications, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, can lead to dangerous mutations in the development of the fetus and provoke intrauterine development abnormalities.

The abdomen pulsates during pregnancy in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters

If by the end of the first trimester a pregnant woman still feels a pulsation in the lower abdomen, this does not mean that this is an unambiguous symptom of pathology, however, it should not be ruled out. The fact is that the early signs of pregnancy are replaced by other sensations, which are also completely normal consequences of the development of a new life.

If periodic abdominal cramps do not go away after the 1st trimester, and treatment, if any, does not help, it is likely that this was not enough to eliminate the cause of the symptom. Such a pathology cannot be left to chance and the doctor is obliged to take other measures to identify the etiology and prevent possible consequences.
However, not everything is so sad, and the lower abdomen may pulsate during pregnancy and in later stages. The reason for this may be the fairly common hiccups in babies, which we will talk about below. Such a situation, if it often bothers you, can be corrected only in agreement with your doctor and according to the strictest scheme. In addition, there are more gentle measures, for example, special breathing exercises. Many mothers speak well of the effectiveness of such therapy even at 30 weeks of pregnancy, when the unborn baby is already developing a full swallowing reflex.
At 25–28 weeks, throbbing pain in the lower abdomen during pregnancy can cause pinching of the vena cava. Such a pathology can lead not only to disruption of normal blood flow in a woman’s body, but also lead to a threatening deficiency of venous blood in the fetus. In this case, the following symptoms are observed:

a woman feels a sharp increase in pressure in the abdominal area;
followed by an attack of dizziness and nausea;
severe fatigue and decreased activity;
in some cases, the pressure drop is so strong and sudden that the expectant mother may lose consciousness or become disorientated for a short time.

However, in this particular situation you should never lie down, because in a horizontal position the pressure on the vena cava will only increase. Unfortunately, only medical intervention can help in such a situation, so if you have such symptoms, immediately call an ambulance.
In the last trimester of pregnancy, approximately 32–33 weeks, a slight periodic pulsation in the lower abdomen without pain is the result of the baby’s activity. In this situation, the expectant mother can lightly stroke her tummy in a circular motion to calm the baby and get rid of not always pleasant sensations. If such measures do not help, and attacks become more frequent, you need to consult a doctor for a routine ultrasound to accurately determine the cause of such manifestations.

How to understand that pregnancy has occurred? Symptoms

Before your period is delayed, you can recognize signs of pregnancy in the early stages by visiting a doctor and doing an ultrasound. A female doctor, during a visual examination on a gynecological chair, will reveal the following symptoms:

cyanosis of the uterine mucosa - this is due to increased blood flow;
increase in size of the female organ;
soft neck.

However, confirmation of the onset of an “interesting” situation is necessary, since these signs are differentiated from premenstrual syndrome.

Ultrasound examination is carried out using a special vaginal sensor.

What are the first signs of pregnancy before your period is missed? It is not necessary to wait for the start of menstruation, you need to listen to your body and you may notice unusual sensations that will indicate an “interesting” situation:

nausea and vomiting;
pain in the lower abdomen (aching);
lack of air;
increased sexual desire or its complete absence;
whitish discharge;
fatigue and lethargy for no apparent reason;
rapid pulse;
problems with bowel movements;
exacerbation of chronic pathologies;
change in sense of smell.

The above symptoms are not observed in all women. The first weeks are, of course, a very important period, since serious changes in the embryo occur - all organs and systems are formed, tissue formation begins.

Ripple during pregnancy: classification by reasons

Let's take a closer look at the most likely sources of pulsating tremors in the lower abdomen in expectant mothers and their nature.

Reason #1: hiccups

As we already wrote above, the cause of discomfort in the stomach can be the baby’s hiccups.
During the development of swallowing reflexes, the child may accidentally swallow amniotic fluid, as a result of the large amount of liquid he begins to hiccup. This theory has been tested and fully confirmed by practicing obstetricians and gynecologists.
The fact is that in this way, starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, the child begins to fully train his digestive system to new conditions.
Often this reason is easy to identify by the slight twitching of the mother’s tummy that is accompanied by tremors.
Despite the fact that many symptoms during pregnancy usually appear while the baby is awake, hiccups have nothing to do with this. It is quite normal for a woman to feel the effects both at night and during the day. Besides. The duration is completely beyond any fixed standards and can last from several minutes to up to an hour.

Reason #2: pinched vena cava

When a sensation of tremors appears in the lower abdomen at a later stage, doctors often diagnose a pathology such as vena cava compression syndrome. Most often, a pregnant woman may encounter a similar problem after the 25th week of pregnancy.
Partial or even complete pinching of the venous artery occurs due to the growing uterus, which compresses all the pelvic organs and lower abdomen, often limiting normal blood circulation in the woman’s body. It is precisely this reason that can cause not just pulsation, but even pain and the possible development of pathology in a child.
In order to prevent such a situation, obstetricians and gynecologists advise pregnant women in the 3rd trimester to rest less on their backs, since this position provokes even greater pressure from the uterus on the vein.

Reason #3: baby moving

The safest and most expected cause of small tremors in the lower abdomen in the later stages is the movement of the child. However, even in this case, the sensations can be the most unusual, from pleasant long-awaited ones to uncomfortable ones.
Many expectant mothers often confuse pulsation with the baby’s first movements, so in any case, the doctor must definitely exclude all negative factors before making a positive conclusion about the absence of negative factors in the development of pregnancy.

General signs of pregnancy

For every healthy person, the normal number of heart beats is considered to be 60-80 units. in a minute. During pregnancy in the female body, this figure increases to 100-115 units. per minute or more. Doctors define this condition as physiological tachycardia. After childbirth, a rapid pulse decreases to normal levels, so the condition does not require treatment, but is the first signal of pregnancy.

The reason for the acceleration of the heart rate during pregnancy lies in the changes in the woman’s body - from hormonal to functional.

Other symptoms are divided into groups:

Supposed, subjective definition: nausea, urge to vomit;
food cravings not previously observed;
intolerance to specific odors;
frequent mood swings, irritability, drowsiness;
thickening of the mammary glands, increased sensitivity;
pulling, pulsating sensations in the lower abdomen, tingling.

Probable - based on objective data:

cessation of menstrual bleeding;

changes in the size and shape of the uterus, transformation of its consistency;

positive result of pharmacy pregnancy tests.

Reliable - appear in later stages:

fetal heartbeats are determined;

the baby can be felt moving;

the fetus or its movements are felt upon palpation;

other medicinal methods for identifying symptoms.

Is pulsation dangerous?

If you notice unusual pain in the abdomen or groin area while pregnant, contact your doctor immediately. Only on the basis of correct diagnosis and examination can one unambiguously answer the question: “Why?” And believe me, pregnancy is not a case where you can test your body’s resistance and let everything take its course.
Even from early stages of pregnancy, doctors recommend lying less on your back and spending more time on your side. This way you will reduce the current load on the vena cava and prevent its compression.
If in the middle of pregnancy you began to feel minor tremors and, having attributed everything to hiccups, did not visit the doctor, remember that too frequent hiccups are also suspicious. In this case, be sure to consult a doctor and get examined for the development of hypoxia in the child.
If at any point the normal throbbing of pregnancy begins to cause you pain, consult your doctor immediately.

First fetal movements

The first fetal movements occur around the 21st day of development. These are cardiac movements, and they are still imperceptible to the mother’s body.

In the period up to 18-21 weeks, the formation of such systems and organs as:

digestive systems
bone and muscle tissue
endocrine system
respiratory system
genitals

From about the 8th week of gestation, the first movements of the fetus begin to be felt, which are reflexive and arise due to irritation of the facial areas of the fetus. After the 10th week of pregnancy, movements appear as a result of irritation of certain skin areas.

More conscious fetal movements appear at the 16th week of pregnancy. At this time, the baby begins to respond to the mother’s voice, its changes and intonation. Pregnancy at 17 weeks is characterized by the appearance of facial emotions of the fetus.

Active fetal movements, which can be felt by the mother, appear at the 18th week. The child can make movements with his hands, react to loud sounds, while covering his face. Up until the 20th week, all fetal movements are determined by reflexes.

Starting from the 20th week, fetal movements become regular and are clearly felt by the mother. At this time, the child’s spinal cord and brain are practically formed. From the 24th week until the end of pregnancy, the baby’s movements resemble the motor activity of a newborn.

The frequency of movements after 24 weeks corresponds to 10-15 movements per hour, but sometimes the child freezes for 3 hours. This is considered quite normal because the child falls asleep. If movements are not felt at all within 12 hours, you should consult a doctor. Also, medical consultation is required in case of sluggish or too active movements.

How to identify dangerous pulsation: tips

If tremors in the abdominal area are accompanied by a distinct pain that radiates to the lower back, this may indicate the onset of contractions. Naturally, if the gestation period is not yet close to delivery, such symptoms are extremely dangerous for the child.
Such sensations are often accompanied by a chain spasm reaction, when not only the muscles of the uterus, but also the abs, back, and urethra become toned, which is accompanied by a frequent urge to go to the toilet.
Often pain and spasms are rhythmic in nature: tension is replaced by relaxation and vice versa. If at this moment you are less than 37 weeks pregnant, call your doctor immediately and do not delay visiting him for a minute. Often during this period, so-called test contractions can occur, which, without proper control, can end disastrously for the pregnancy.
With serious pinching of the vena cava, symptoms can appear clearly and quickly, however, everything is not always so dire. Similar symptoms can also appear when the artery is slightly compressed, for example, while in an uncomfortable position. If, when changing position, for example, to the side, spasms and pain go away, it is advisable to wait to see a doctor. However, from now on, control your body more carefully and avoid making sudden movements.
If the sensations do not go away for more than 20 minutes, but only increase, you certainly cannot do without a doctor. Even if spasms do not provoke premature labor, pinching of a blood vessel can lead to fetal hypoxia and the development of pathologies.

How should pregnant women sleep?

Choosing a sleeping position becomes quite difficult for a pregnant woman. You have to take into account the size of the abdomen, general condition and the effect of posture on the baby’s condition.

Pregnancy in the first trimester usually does not cause much concern in choosing a sleeping position. During this period, sleeping on the stomach is still possible, since the uterus is not yet enlarged and is protected by the pubic bones. But for some women, this position causes discomfort due to the strong bending of the uterus forward and excessive sensitivity of the mammary glands.
The second trimester is characterized by an increase in the size of the abdomen and increased activity of the motor activity of the fetus. And although the baby is perfectly protected by the membranes and amniotic fluid, sleeping on the stomach causes unnecessary pressure on the fetus. At this time, it is better to prefer sleeping on your side. Thus, mother and baby will be provided with a comfortable sleep.
If until the third trimester a woman can still choose different positions, then when this period begins, the only possible position becomes the position on her side. Sleeping on your stomach is absolutely unacceptable. When sleeping on the back, the fetus puts pressure on the internal organs, which disrupts the functioning of the liver, intestines, and kidneys and impedes blood circulation due to compression of blood vessels. For greater comfort when sleeping on your side, you can place a pillow under your stomach and between your legs.

You shouldn't worry about new sensations, but you shouldn't ignore them either. If pulsation and movements cause pain, this may be caused by incorrect posture of the mother. If after changing the position the pain does not stop, then this is a reason to seek medical help. A timely consultation with a doctor will help diagnose the condition of the fetus and promptly notice possible developmental disorders.

How to remove pulsation in the stomach?

First of all, if any discomfort occurs during pregnancy, the expectant mother should think about the child and how not to harm him. Therefore, experts strongly advise against taking any medications, even the most harmless and natural ones.
But obstetricians and gynecologists advise women to move as much as possible, naturally, without heavy stress, and to communicate with the baby. Many pregnant women note the high effectiveness of conversations with their baby, and that it is after conversations that alarming symptoms soon recede and never return.
Often, pulsation in the lower abdomen during pregnancy is confused with the movement of the baby. This is easy to check, because movements often go away if you just put your palm on your rounded tummy.
False contractions during pregnancy at any stage are characterized by prolonged dull and jerky pain. If the pain does not stop for more than 20 minutes, you should immediately consult a doctor.
The situation with a pinched vena cava can be solved by changing posture, breathing exercises and increased activity. If none of the methods immediately helps, you need to consult a doctor.

The methods described above can be used in the early stages of pregnancy, in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, however, if a woman feels tremors at 36 weeks, there is only one option - to breathe. In general, being attentive to your body, taking care of your health and the well-being of your baby is the key to a successful pregnancy and timely prevention of any pathological processes during pregnancy.

Early pregnancy tests

While waiting for the baby, a woman synthesizes human chorionic gonadotropin, which is abbreviated as the hCG hormone. This substance is produced from the membrane of the embryo. Two weeks after fertilization of the egg, a blood test will already show its presence. The peak growth of the hormone is observed in the tenth to twelfth week of the “interesting” position. Take an early pregnancy test in the morning on an empty stomach. In addition, at least six hours must have passed since your last meal. For reliability, the study is repeated after two or three days.

How to determine the gender of a child by the shape of the belly?

Our grandmothers believed in fate, various signs and superstitions.
Signs based on body shape are a dubious “folk diagnosis”, but they still exist today. Most likely, the special bodily signs of pregnancy are not without a certain meaning. They said that the sex of the first-born can be determined in virgins long before marriage and intimate relations:

If the left breast is slightly larger than the right (more noticeable in a bra these days), it means the girl will be born first.
If the right breast is larger, the first-born child must be a boy.

This is interesting: When young concubines were chosen for the harem of sultans and emirs, during the preliminary “screening” they chose not only beautiful virgins with healthy teeth and luxuriant hair. Preference was given to girls with a slightly larger right breast, so that a boy would be born first.

We can’t say that it worked 100%, even ultrasound makes mistakes, but it’s true.
Don't believe me? Compare the data from your friends and close relatives, of course, if they did not have an abortion (there was no miscarriage). But how else, for example, can you determine the sex of a child by looking at the belly? Doctors deny such a “diagnosis,” but many expectant mothers, using their grandmother’s “identifiers,” received the correct prognosis. The pregnancy “sticks out” or becomes obvious around the 30th week. Everyone is wondering what the new addition will be - a boy or a girl? They say that according to the figure:

The one wearing the “boy” has a neat, but protruding tummy like a cucumber. The waist remains clearly defined.
If the belly is “girly”, the tummy is rounded, the figure is plump, the expectant mother expands at the waist and hips.

If there are other signs.
For the one who is expecting a boy, the fetal heart beats more intensely than for the one who is expecting a daughter. During labor, the belly drops. They also say that “a boy does not take away a woman’s beauty,” the expectant mother blossoms, she is drawn to “salty foods,” meat and dairy (protein foods). The feet begin to freeze, the hairiness of the legs increases, and some people develop a hairy belly - a sign of pregnancy. A woman involuntarily lays her head to the north or east on her left side (when there is a choice). The beginning of pregnancy passes without severe toxicosis, but there is often a headache. Here's how to tell if you're pregnant by looking at your belly when there's a girl in the womb. They say that the baby “takes away her beauty” from her future mother. The face becomes swollen, the nose swells, the figure becomes swollen, the hair thins and becomes dull. The woman sleeps a lot, mainly on her right side, with her head to the south or west. The future baby's pulse is not as fast as the boy's heart. Mommy’s belly is round, located high, people say “the nose is propped up,” although it is evenly round. A pregnant woman walks with difficulty, heaviness in the stomach and body is considered a sign of pregnancy. Even from behind you can see that the lady is in position, in contrast to the activity of carrying a “tomboy” in her stomach.

Despite such obvious signs, women often tell fortunes using a pendulum over their stomach, asking “who will it be, a boy or a girl?” The wedding ring on a thread or long hair, held by the fingers of the right hand above the stomach, should swing. With a girl it rotates in a circle, with a boy it rotates from side to side. If there is no pregnancy, do not move. However, pendulum methods have many opponents; they say that the nature of the phenomenon is occult, and you can “miscalculate the child and your happiness”!

Additional signs

You cannot consider 1-2 signs as a “verdict”; they work together.
At the same time, some signs are obvious, others are phantom. For example, signs of pregnancy - pulling in the lower abdomen and bleeding. Small brown spots on underwear are often confused with scanty periods. But this is the result of fixation of the fertilized egg in the uterus. The so-called “implantation bleeding” and a little stomach pain are a sign of pregnancy. The gastrointestinal tract experiences additional stress, so the stomach often swells - another sign of pregnancy. Digestion becomes more sluggish, appetite becomes selective, intestines become “lazy,” and some familiar smells become “disgusting.” Uncharacteristic bloating is considered a sign of pregnancy; a woman often runs “small” due to the pressure of the uterus on the bladder. This is especially noticeable at night, if you previously slept peacefully until the morning without urges.

Pregnant women often eat a lot, and aching pain in the lower abdomen is an uncharacteristic sign of pregnancy; these are spasms from difficult functioning of the digestive organs. If this is the first pregnancy, this is a colossal restructuring of all organs and systems, including muscle fibers in the abdominal cavity.

Under pressure from the enlarging uterus, the organs shift and put pressure on each other, especially if the pregnant woman is overweight and swollen. This is one of the signs when a plump woman has “jumping” hormonal levels, confusion with cyclicity, but there is no confidence in pregnancy. It's time to get tested, send a blood test for hCG and undergo an ultrasound. Have an easy birth and happy motherhood!

Please help, if 10-12 days before my menstruation... What is the probability that I am pregnant?

Oksana

Girls, don’t be funny, on the contrary, there should be pulsation during pregnancy and they press not on the navel, but 4 fingers below the navel. Our ancestors said that this is the child’s heartbeat. Although of course this is not true, it’s a vessel. And as for iodine, yes, this is also the way of our grandmothers.

You also take paper, dip it in urine and drop it with iodine; if it’s purple, then you’re pregnant, but if it’s blue, then you’re not. Although, as far as I’m concerned, this is not true. I also know a way to boil urine. You boil it in an iron bowl, then pour it into a glass bowl and see if there’s sediment Like cereal, I'm pregnant.

This is due to an increase in protein during pregnancy, which coagulates when boiled.

Waiting for a miracle

There is still a week left until the CD, signs of pregnancy have appeared, I react to smells, there is nausea, but there is no vomiting, I have become especially tearful, this has never happened before. I took a test in the morning, and a second very pale, almost unnoticeable line appeared after 10-15 minutes...

I haven’t encountered this before...before using the test, I looked at it, it was clean... But one stripe is just a thick red-burgundy, and the other is straight transparent, but it is there!!! If anyone has had the same situation, please let me know... I just really can’t wait to find out....

Fetal heart rate table by week

The fetal heartbeat during pregnancy is checked for every woman registered. This indicator allows you to:

confirm the fact of pregnancy. After the first delay, the woman is sent for diagnostics. According to ultrasound, from the 3rd week you can hear the heartbeat. If fetal cardiac activity is not observed, an ultrasound scan is performed again after some time. The absence of a heartbeat indicates a frozen pregnancy;
assess the condition of the fetus. The child's heart is sensitive to changes. Stress, maternal illness, the amount of oxygen in the surrounding space, sleep and rest phases are immediately reflected in the heart rate. If the heart beats too fast for a long time, the blood supply to the fetus is disrupted. If it is slow, this indicates a deterioration in the baby’s condition. Correction methods largely depend on the period at which the heartbeat became pathological;
monitoring the condition of the fetus during labor. During the birth process, the baby experiences severe stress and lack of oxygen. Heart rate monitoring allows you to identify difficulties such as umbilical cord compression, placental abruption, and take emergency steps to eliminate the consequences. During labor, the baby's heart rate is checked after each contraction.

There is a belief that the sex of the child can be determined by the fetal heart rate. Allegedly, girls have a heartbeat of 150-170 beats per minute, and boys - 130-150. Therefore, many people think that if, according to an ultrasound, the fetal heart is 146 beats per minute, or, for example, 137, 143, then a boy will be born. And who will be at 167 blows, or 158, 172 - a boy.

This hypothesis is not scientifically confirmed in any way. Gender can only be determined by heart rate with 50% confidence. Heart rate in boys and girls reflects the ability to fight the lack of oxygen. And gender has no influence on this ability.

If you want to find out the sex of your unborn child, contact an ultrasound specialist. Gender can be determined from 15-16 weeks.

The heart rate changes not only according to the baby’s activity phases, but also depending on the stage of pregnancy.

at week 7 the norm is 115 contractions;
on the 8th, the heartbeat can jump to 170 beats per minute;
at 11 weeks, the heart rate usually remains at 150 beats. Minor deviations up or down are acceptable.

Starting from the thirteenth week, doctors constantly check the heart rate using ultrasound, checking the character and rhythm, location of the heart.

From the second trimester, the contraction frequency stabilizes and is 140-160 beats. If the pulse is fast, for example, 170-180, this indicates oxygen starvation. If it is low, less than 120, this indicates fetal hypoxia.

Observation by a doctor

Monitoring the heartbeat is mandatory during childbirth, especially in the presence of any pathologies. The normal heart rate is 140 beats. But sometimes it can reach up to 155.

Baby's heart rate:

Thus, the number of 125 beats is the norm for the initial stages of pregnancy. At later stages, it is considered weak and requires additional examination.

A pulse of 153, 162, 166 beats per minute is natural for periods of 11-40 weeks, for 4-7 weeks it is pathological.

You can find out the sex of the fetus

When determining the heart rate, the doctor evaluates not only the fetal heartbeat, but takes into account additional factors: the presence of a disease in the mother, listening time, whether the baby is sleeping or is in an active state.

When the expectant mother wants to listen to the baby’s heart beat, it is not necessary to visit the clinic. The sound of embryonic development can be heard in the following ways:

stethoscope. A regular obstetric tube is inexpensive and allows you to listen to the baby’s heart. A patient assistant will be required. It is important to learn to distinguish the heart from the sounds of the baby’s movements, pulse, and mother’s peristalsis. Effective from 18-25 weeks;
fetal doppler. Suitable for those who do not have time to master a stethoscope. A portable ultrasound detector works on the CTG principle, but does not provide a graphic image. The kit usually includes headphones. This device is effective from 8-12 weeks, and you can use it until the 38-39th;
putting your ear to your stomach. The method is suitable for late pregnancy, in the 3rd trimester. The place of application depends on the location of the fetus. If your baby is lying head down, place your ear below the navel. With breech presentation – higher. Usually this method is used by men to hear the life emerging in the womb.
