I add a half teaspoon of eggshell powder to my smoothies ever morning. I have no plans to stop, as I am clear that the eggshells help strengthen my existing teeth. I purchased dried comfrey root at the health food store. I added two tablespoons to a quart of water and, after bringing it to a boil, let it simmer for half an hour. I then strained the tea, and transferred it to a large container, which I kept in the refrigerator.
When can I start using a fetal doppler? In some woman the fetal heart can be detected as early as 8-12 weeks. The fetal heartbeat should be audible 95% of the time in 12-week pregnancies, and nearly 100% of the time after 14 weeks. Earlier in pregnancy, between 8-12 weeks, your success in finding the heart rate can have to do with the quality of your device.
Fetal Heart Rate Doppler. Ultrasound doppler equipment has been used in human medicine for over 20 years to confirm pregnancy and document the ongoing development and well-being of the fetus. The ultrasound doppler can also be used in veterinary obstetrics to confirm pregnancy and monitor the developing fetuses in all small mammals. Use of ultrasound to detect fetal heart rates in canine and feline reproduction is becoming standard of practice for both the veterinarian and breeder. Fetal heart rates are detectable around 5 weeks of gestation using the hand-held Elite doppler in dogs and cats. The doppler detects the motion of the beating heart; translating the motion into an audible heart beat, and digitally displayed heart rate.
