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.
Throughout a woman's pregnancy, her doctor will typically begin a prenatal exam with listening to the baby's heartbeat. Although a Doppler instrument is most frequently used, a fetoscope, a type of stethoscope, can be used after 20 weeks to hear a baby's heartbeat. A baby's heartbeat is checked often to monitor how the baby is developing and coping with the stress of the pregnancy and labor.
