COOL VIDEO!!



I have actually heard them many times. I first posted about it on "The Think Tank" back in 2004. That's when Majik, my female Pastel was pregnant for the first time. I was sooooooo excited when I heard them the first time. I posted about it right away. A few people thought it was cool. Some made jokes about it and one person said it was "IMPOSSIBLE" to hear them. Obviously it's not "IMPOSSIBLE" to hear the heartbeats of unborn boas. I always knew what I was hearing. I knew it sounded like heart beats. It was just hard to get other people to believe me. Fortunately there was a few people that always believe me.



The heart beats can be heard as early as 8 to 10 weeks before the due date. They're very soft and you have to "LISTEN" very carefully to hear them. With practice, you can hear them easily. You just need to be able to recognize what your hearing.



Make sure you have plenty of ultrasound gel on the doppler wand. Make sure your females are perfectly still. Any movement can mess up the sounds. Use the doppler wand in the mid-section, where the early buldge is the biggest. With a littel practice you'll be hearing heartbeats as early as 10 weeks before your babies are born.
