The G-Tech fetal monitor is a fetal doppler that lets you listen to the baby’s sounds inside the womb starting from the 12th week of pregnancy. It’s possible to record the heartbeats forever using a USB cable and share them with family and friends. To amplify the sound, it is recommended to use ultrasound gel or moisturizing oil.
What Is the Fetal Monitor For?
What pregnant woman wouldn’t want to have an ultrasound device at home? It would be amazing to see your baby every day whenever you want or whenever you start to miss them. But since that isn’t possible (yet), we have at our fingertips one of the best current inventions for home diagnosis. The G-Tech fetal monitor allows you to hear the baby’s heartbeats while still inside the womb! You can perform this auscultation whenever you want, wherever you want, however you want. This makes pregnancy less worrying regarding the baby’s well-being. Hearing the heartbeat of the most important person in your life while still in the womb is priceless.
The fetal monitor is among the leaders when it comes to listening to baby’s heartbeats. Its quality is exceptional, and it can pick up the sound even if the baby is very small. The G-Tech fetal monitor can be used starting from the 10th week of pregnancy, which is when the baby’s heart is larger and stronger and can be heard. The issue is that women using the fetal monitor must know how to distinguish between their own heartbeat and the baby’s. Typically, the maternal heartbeat is around 80 to 120 beats per minute, while the baby’s heartbeat can reach 160 or 180 beats per minute. But is it normal for them to be so fast? Yes, mom, don’t be alarmed. The smaller the baby, the faster their heart beats to pump oxygen and blood to every part of their tiny body.
How Does the G-Tech Fetal Monitor Work?
The G-Tech fetal monitor is basically a sonar, just like those used in medical offices. The difference is it’s less powerful and more portable. It picks up natural body sounds, like blood flow and, of course, pulse. If positioned anywhere on the body, it can amplify by up to 100 times the sound of any flow it detects, and, when placed on the mother’s abdomen, it will pick up the mother’s heartbeat but also that of the baby.
For it to work correctly, the woman should place the lower part of the G-Tech fetal monitor on her belly. It acts like a microphone and picks up waves via radio frequency. Here’s where the secret to using the fetal monitor begins. Sometimes, it takes a lot of patience to find the baby’s position… Some moms spend more than 30 minutes searching for the faster heartbeat, and sometimes might even confuse it with their own. That’s why it’s recommended that the woman rest before starting to look for the baby’s heartbeat.
It’s also advised that moms eat chocolate or have a cup of coffee to help get the baby’s heart rate up. Listening for the heartbeat after a meal is also a great idea — the baby will be more active, making it easier to catch the little heart’s beat with the G-Tech fetal monitor. It’s worth mentioning that before 18 weeks, it’s easier to find the baby’s heartbeat in the lower belly, since the uterus is below the navel. From the 20th week, the baby can be heard and felt higher up, at the level of the navel or above it.
Powered by two AA batteries, it has a sound amplification capacity of 500 + /-50Hz and a target speed from 10 cm to 40 cm. It also features continuous Doppler to assist with sound detection. The box contains the fetal monitor device, headphones, a USB cable, and a manual. But what’s the USB cable for? For recording! You can record the baby’s heartbeat audio to keep as a memory and show it to family and to the baby in the future. You can also listen to the heartbeat through the headphones, in speaker mode, and share the heartbeat sound with more people.
Angel Sounds Sales in Brazil?
Currently, the fetal monitor is imported into Brazil by Accumed, directly from the manufacturer of Angel Sounds, Jumper Medical. Although the brand name is different, it is exactly the same product. However, since the registration was completed with Anvisa and Inmetro under this name in 2016, it will be sold as the G-Tech fetal monitor. Unlike some other illegally imported products sold on platforms like Mercado Livre, this product comes with a 1-year warranty, which covers your entire pregnancy.
Before receiving registration in Brazil, the product was already being sold for years in countries such as the United States and those in Europe. Over there, it’s common to see pregnant women with such a device at home. In Brazil, usage has grown steadily due to word of mouth from moms who loved its performance and recommend it to others. Despite the cost, the G-Tech fetal monitor is a great purchase and can easily be sold after your pregnancy.
Is It Worth It?
But is it really worthwhile to have one? Yes! Many moms who have used the device recommend it and guarantee that it works. The problem can be the anxiety moms may experience if they can’t detect the baby’s heartbeat. So, here’s some advice about the G-Tech fetal monitor: If you don’t hear the baby or can’t detect the heartbeat, try again in a few hours. The baby’s position in the uterus can make it harder to hear. If you still can’t, talk to your doctor. They’ll know what to do and advise you on the right steps to make sure everything is well. Also, remember that the device is good, but it isn’t miraculous, and don’t worry if you don’t hear it before week 10 or even week 12. Be careful not to become psychologically affected by this tool — mom’s health is more important than anything.
