Natursutten Midwife's Wooden Stethoscope in detail
A midwife's stethoscope is used by midwives to listen to fetal heartbeat during pregnancy. Our midwife's stethoscope is made in Denmark by Natursutten of smooth Scandinavian Beech wood, and can be used in the comfort of your home to allow family members to listen to your unborn baby's heartbeat without the need for batteries, radio waves or expensive machines.
Originally introduced in France in the early 19th century, our wooden midwife's stethoscope has a unique bell shape that amplifies the heartbeat of an unborn fetus. Still in use today by midwives all over the world including the United States, Canada and Europe, a wooden midwife's stethoscope can be used to listen to your baby's heartbeat starting around the 20th week of pregnancy.
The Natursutten Wooden Midwife's Stethoscope makes a wonderful heirloom gift for the expecting mother, home birther or midwifery student or apprentice.
Directions: Try to feel the baby’s position in your belly and place the stethoscope in this area. Have the family member or 'listener' place their ear against the flat end of the instrument and move it around until they hear the heartbeat clearly. Little heartbeats can be difficult to detect, so have them first practice by listening to your heartbeat. Effectiveness will vary based on baby’s age and the position of the placenta.
Use of the Natursutten Authentic Midwife's Stethoscope should never replace professional care during pregnancy.
