# Fetal Heartbeat MP3s ‘Beforme' Baby Eavesdropping Device By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-11-23 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-mp3-recording-beforme-baby-eavedropping-device References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/hear-your-babys-heart-beat-with-beforme#more-914) & [design.pl](http://www.design.pl/) With Beforme, parents will be able to connect with their pre-born at home. The device, designed by Robert Majkut and Elzbieta Madej, would allow soon-to-be parents to [listen to and record the heartbeat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-listener) of the baby while it’s still inside the womb. The pink womb-shaped gadget integrates the [acoustic abilities of a stethoscope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keikku) and audio recording of an MP3 player. When heartbeat recordings are added to the [fetal ultrasound images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babytrack) and videos already available today, an expectant parent has a real chronicle of the development of your baby before birth. Oh, the unit also comes in blue for boys and a neutral taupe for those expectant parents who prefer to keep the gender of their baby a secret. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Connected Parenting:** Beforme presents an opportunity for parents to connect with their pre-born baby at home, opening up possibilities for enhanced communication and bonding. - **Prenatal Technology:** The integration of fetal heartbeat recordings with existing ultrasound images and videos offers a comprehensive and personalized chronicle of a baby's development in the womb. - **Personalized Pregnancy Experience:** The ability to listen to and record the baby's heartbeat with Beforme allows expectant parents to create a unique and intimate pregnancy experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Baby Tech:** Beforme falls within the realm of baby tech, offering innovative devices and technologies tailored to enhance the parenting experience. - **Healthcare Technology:** The incorporation of fetal heartbeat recordings into prenatal care expands the possibilities for healthcare technology in capturing and monitoring a baby's vital signs. - **Consumer Electronics:** The integration of MP3 player audio recording capabilities with prenatal devices showcases the influence of consumer electronics in revolutionizing the pregnancy journey. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Family Healthcare Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-family-healthcare.md) - [Retro Appliance Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-baby-monitor.md) - [Pebble-Like Heart Health Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-stethoscope.md) - [Baby Decoder Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-bear.md) - [AI Baby Sleep Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/necoron.md) - [Heartbeat-Mimicking Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch-locket.md) - [Cry-Detecting Sleep Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gianna-lullume-baby-soother.md) - [Multipurpose Diagnostic Health Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-beamo.md) - [Advanced Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-connected-baby-monitor.md)
