FAQ2
ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
How do I record my baby's heartbeat?
At every check-up, your doctor or ultrasound technician will monitor the heart rate of your baby. At this time, you will simply switch the button on your red heart recording module to record 20 seconds of your baby’s heartbeat. When you have completed the recording, turn the switch to play back and then pop the heart into the back pocket of your Heartbeat Animal. Every time you hug your Heartbeat Animal, you will activate the module and hear the wonderful sound of your baby’s heartbeat.
When is the best time to record baby’s heartbeat?
Baby’s heart begins beating at around 6 weeks of pregnancy. For most women, with patience, you’ll start hearing the heartbeat at 10-14 weeks along. Considering your baby is just the size of a jellybean at this stage, this is pretty amazing! 20 weeks or even more is more common.
How do I back up my baby’s heartbeat?
Will I ever need to replace my Heartbeat Bear's batteries?
Although your Heartbeat bear may one day need a new set of batteries, it will always keep your Baby's Heartbeat recorded for many years. As with anything electronic, it is always important to make sure you back up your recording onto a separate device in case the sound of your baby’s heartbeat accidentally gets deleted or the sound module becomes damaged and needs to be replaced.
I have a previous recording of my baby’s heartbeat on my phone.
If you love this idea and have already had your baby, you can transfer a previous recording of your baby’s heartbeat from your phone or computer. Now you too can enjoy the wonderful sound of your baby’s heartbeat even after baby’s arrival.
Can I record a personal message on the recorder?
Yes! You can capture any sound on your recorder. Some of our customers have recorded baby’s first words, a lullaby, or a personal message for a loved one. The possibilities are endless…
What is the maximum length of a recording?
Our recorders will capture up to 20 seconds of sound.
