I think that it would be impossible to hear the baby's heartbeat through the abdomen with your ear. The reason I believe this is that because even when we listen to our heartbeats magnified with a stethoscope, the sound is quite distant. To hear it without would be difficult, to say the least. I hope this helps!
1 Interior paint itself costs anywhere from $12-$50 or more a gallon, depending on the quality. 2  Painting a 12x12-foot room, both walls and ceiling, can require $25-$100 worth of paint, plus $10-$50 for primer, brushes, rollers, drop clothes and other supplies.
1 Just the paint: If you own a 3,500 square-foot home, it'll take 20 or more gallons of paint to get the job done. 2  That's assuming that a gallon of paint will typically cover about 350 square feet, and that a quality paint job includes two coats of paint. Taking that into consideration, good paint costs between $15 and $30 per gallon, and very high-end paints costs about $35-$75 per gallon. 2  So, depending on the quality of paint you choose, it can cost as little as $300 or as much as $1,500 just for the paint on this size of home.
