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 Exterior paint averages $25-$40 a gallon, and a 3,000-square-foot home takes 15 or more gallons of paint, or $375-$600 just for the paint.
Cost: The average cost to paint a house is $2,581, but professional painters usually charge by square footage. Single-story homes can cost between $1,000-$3,000, two-story homes between $3,500-$4,000, and three-story homes between $4,500-$6,000. It's one area where you may finally be happier to have a smaller home!
