Answer 2

We just called it a fetal monitor.

Answer 3

Typically an electonic fetal monitor is used, although it can be done with a fetoscope. A fetoscope is similar to a stethescope only shapped a little different.  Electonic fetal monitoring is done using 2 electronic disks, called Transducers. One monitors baby's heartbeat, while the other monitors the patients contractions.

Answer 4

It's an electronic fetal heart rate monitor.  It measures the baby's heart rate and can clue the doctors in to fetal distress.

The tocometer measures the mom's uterine contractions.
