Duck Aviva!!
 
A pinards is the 'ear trumpet' that was used to listen to the baby's heart beat before the invention of sonicaids and monitors. I have a beautiful hand turned pinards made from ash. Sadly many 'modern' midwives don't have the comfidence to use one.

That is fantastic!

I use my pinards for all my antenatal visits too, as I don't like to put
electronic gadgets near a developing and sensitive baby
