While results vary, many expectant mothers are able to hear the fetal heartbeat starting around the 12th week of pregnancy. Keep in mind that fetal position, mother's body shape, and early timeline can affect detection.

Yes, absolutely. SoftEchox is engineered using low-power, non-invasive ultrasound technology that is 100% radiation-free. It meets clinical maternal-safety guidelines, making it completely safe for regular home tracking.

You can use standard ultrasound transmission gel, baby oil, or even most body lotions. Because the probe tip is highly waterproof, you can easily wipe off any excess gel with a dry cloth or damp tissue.

The best times to measure are within 30 minutes of waking up in the morning, within 60 minutes after having a meal, or 30 minutes before going to bed at night.

For weeks 12–24 (early pregnancy), place the probe on your lower abdomen, centered. For weeks 24–32, trace slightly higher and centered. From weeks 32–40, adjust the probe higher up, depending on where your baby moves.

Yes! SoftEchox comes equipped with a rear-mounted built-in speaker that plays the heartbeat out loud with premium audio clarity, so partners and siblings can share the experience.

The SoftEchox Fetal Doppler is powered by standard AA batteries located in the rear compartment, making it incredibly portable and convenient to carry with you without hunting for power outlets.

The bright backlit LCD clearly displays the real-time Fetal Heart Rate (FHR), battery level, and working mode, allowing you to easily track measurements under any room lighting.
