Besides the mother's heart, a fetus would hear the mother's lungs expand and empty with each of her breaths, hear her sneeze and cough. A fetus would hear the mother's stomach growling when hungry, hiccups during indigestion, and the mother's normal bowel sounds (tinkles, clicks, rumblings). in addition, a fetus would hear movement of the amniotic fluid, much like being underwater in a swimming pool. And, of course, the fetus hears muffled voices, music, etc.

What starts baby heart?

DC The heart forms after about 22 days(not complete but starts to receive blood). Because it is linked to the mothers blood supply its starts to pulse with the mother's heartbeat. Meanwhile heart tissue/muscle is still forming while the babies heart is still pulsing from the mothers heartbeat. At some stage the nerves from the babies heart get connected to his own brain and start to beat on its own as it receives the signal from his brain. First very weak, but as the nerve connection gets better, it starts to beat stronger up to the stage that you as the mother can feel/hear it.

Why couldn't midwife hear fetal heartbeat but it was ok when checked at hospital?

The fetal heartbeat is difficult to hear in almost perfect conditions with a regular stethescope. The factors which make it more difficult is the babies heart can be further back near the mothers spine and not be audible at or near the mothers abdomen. This is more than likely just the position of the fetus in the womb. Another reason could be the kind of stethescope used. It should have been the two sided Littman type, and the smaller side should be used for infants.
