Following are the sound bytes I recorded of Lulu's fetal heartbeat as heard by a Doppler stethoscope during my prenatal Ob/Gyn appointments. The sounds were physical evidence to me, for what was growing inside of me. Hearing your baby's heart beat makes everything surreal about your pregnancy, feel real.
I kept these mobile phone recordings hoping that a producer-musician friend of mine would maybe someday turn the beats into a song for our family. Looks like my only music options are for some kind of happy hardcore techno.
