Recording Your Baby's HeartbeatOne question we are regularly asked here at Build-a-Furry-Friend is how easy is it to record your unborn baby's heartbeat onto the sound recorder for use in your new Heartbeat Plush. The answer is extremely easy, just follow the steps below if you're due for a Doppler or ultrasound appointment soon, alternatively some people already have the heartbeat on their phones and it's just as easy to record from there too! To get the best results from your Heartbeat Bear we recommend that the recording is done whilst at a Doppler or ultrasound appointment, either at your local hospital during a routine scan or at a private clinic whilst having optional 3D scans of your new baby.

Step 1Remember to take your recordable sound module with you to your Doppler or ultrasound appointment, you should have a recordable sound module.
|
Step 2When your Sonographer tells you that they are going to let you listen to your baby's heartbeat, ask if they would mind if you recorded the sound using your recordable sound module. Some Sonographer's are happy to do this for you, other times you may have to do this yourself.

Step 3Follow the provided instructions for your sound recorder, recording your baby's heartbeat for the full 16-22 seconds available depending on heart shaped or white sound module. It's a good idea to be familiar with the operating instructions of the recorder before your hospital visit - you could even record a test message before your visit.

Step 4Before leaving, make sure your sound module is working by testing the playback of your baby's heartbeat. This gives you an opportunity to try again in case the wrong button was pressed or something unexpected happens (such as someone sneezing!) during the recording.
