I recently got an advertisement for a device to listen to and record baby's
heartbeat in utero.  It was addressed to "Lactation Consultant".  Hmmmmm . .
. wonder where they got that from.  It also mentions you can use it to
record mom's heartbeat to be played back later to the newborn to calm
him/her.  Gee, wonder why you can't just hold the baby??
