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.
1 She'll cover it with ultrasound gel and move it around on your belly until she finds a spot where the heartbeat can be detected. 2  The Doppler sends and receives sound waves that bounce off your baby's heart. 3  In this way the fetal Doppler makes your baby's heartbeats loud enough for you to hear. Hearing it for the first time can be very moving. 2  The heart rate of a healthy baby in the womb ranges from about 120 to 160 beats per minute. 3  A heartbeat that's much faster or slower than that may signal a heart problem.
