What Is a Fetal Detector?

A fetal detector, often called a fetal Doppler, is a non-invasive diagnostic device used to listen to the fetal heartbeat. It works by emitting ultrasound waves to detect blood flow in the baby’s heart, allowing practitioners or parents to track fetal development between antenatal visits.

Who Uses Fetal Detectors?

These devices are commonly used in maternity clinics, midwife-led units, gynaecology practices, and increasingly by expectant parents at home. They provide reassurance, early detection of abnormalities, and are ideal for routine pregnancy monitoring from the second trimester onwards.
