You can now listen to your unborn child’s heartbeat with a Bellabeat’s Shell

Hearing your unborn child’s heartbeat the first time is a magical moment. Previously an experience limited to doctor’s offices, expectant parents can now be able to hear their unborn baby’s heart non-invasively in their own home with Bellabeat’s Shell.

Shell consists of a smartphone base add-on and a smartphone app. The Shell app is free and can work as a standalone. The app’s algorithm filters ambient noise including the mother’s heartbeat so you can hear the fetal heartbeat clearly.

You can also record the heartbeat to play for others or listen again yourself. The Shell app also allows you to share the recorded heartbeat via Facebook, Twitter, or email so you can send it to family and friends.

The Shell add-on’s base shape is designed to “resemble a seashell and the wave pattern illustrates the soothing rhythmic sound of the heartbeat,” according to Bellabeat. Using the app with the Shell add-on “is designed to take it up that extra notch and enhances the overall experience.

It works like a sea shell and funnels out and amplifies the sound,” Bellabeat wrote.
