The first time you hear your baby’s heartbeat is a sound you’ll never forget. For many parents, it feels magical — a reassuring rhythm that makes the pregnancy feel real. At Hear My Baby, we believe those moments shouldn’t be limited to the doctor’s office. That’s why we created a safe, simple way for you to listen at home with just your iPhone.
You don’t need a doppler or any extra equipment. Hear My Baby works like a stethoscope, using your phone’s microphone to pick up sounds when you gently press it against your bump. There’s no radiation, no invasive tools, just sound. And with a little practice, you’ll learn how to tune in to that tiny thump-thump-thump that means so much.
Here are some simple tips that can make a big difference:
Remove your phone case so the microphone is in direct contact.
Switch to airplane mode if you’d like extra peace of mind.
Find a quiet place where background noise won’t interfere.
Relax your body and breathing — tension can add extra sounds.
Press firmly and try different spots on your bump, since baby moves around.
Most parents begin to hear something from around 16 weeks, though the clearest results usually come from 27 weeks onwards. Earlier than that can be hit and miss, and that’s okay. Patience is part of the process, and when you do hear it, the joy is worth it.
What parents love most is that Hear My Baby isn’t pretending to be medical. It doesn’t diagnose or replace checkups. It’s about connection. It’s about sharing. It’s about turning pregnancy into a series of moments you’ll treasure. Many families use it together every week, recording heartbeats to send to grandparents, or saving them as keepsakes to remember forever.
One reviewer wrote: “I was skeptical at first, but when I finally heard that heartbeat, I cried. Best app I’ve ever bought.” Another said: “We use it together every week, and my partner loves feeling included.”
If you’re expecting, Hear My Baby is one of the most joyful ways to feel close to your little one. All you need is your iPhone, a quiet room, and a little patience.
