How do you check for the baby's heart beat?
There are heart rate monitors that you can purchase that magnify the baby's heart rate, just like the one your doctor uses. You can also hear the baby's heart rate with a stethoscope. Have your doctor show you the difference between hearing the baby and hearing the placenta. The babies heart rate is faster 120 to 160 beats per minute. The placenta pulses with your heart rate and sometimes is louder than the baby.
If you have any concerns the movements of the baby are a good indication all is well with your baby. Tell your doctor any of your concerns. It is normal to have them. But real worries should be brought to your doctors attention. Mothers are amazingly perceptive/sensitive to their baby's well being even before birth.

How often should a pregnant woman have a ultrasound?
I can only speak from my experience and I am sure each dr has his own schedule but I had an US at 8 weeks to determine due date and then another at 20 weeks. I am sure though if there were any complications or problems, you would get them more frequently. That is about right. If you are certain of your dates you may not have the early ultrasound. If you are having Downs syndrome etc checks you may have one at 12-13 weeks. Almost everyone has one at 18-20 weeks as this is the best time for spotting abnormalities in the skull, heart, kidneys etc. You would not normally have any more unless there were concerns that the baby was not growing properly. It also depends on your doctor & their beliefs & practices & whether or not you are a high risk pregnancy. I myself had 30 ultrasounds in a 37 week pregnancy, but I was extremely high risk!

For some there will be a variation of up to a week one way or another. For the very few, this variation can be more than 2 weeks.
