A comma or a full stop?
Can I throw a example at you. It's part of speech. I'm not sure if it's better with a comma or a full stop.
'She can't find anything.'
'Who can't?'
'The midwife, she said there's nothing there.'
Or
'The midwife. She said there's nothing there.'
'She can't find anything.'
'Who can't?'
'The midwife, she said there's nothing there.'
Or
'The midwife. She said there's nothing there.'

Also, following on from there.
The rest of the conversation goes as such.
'What do you mean? What can't she find?'
'A heartbeat, she can't find a heartbeat.' Should that be 2 seperate sentences as well?)
'Sarah, listen to me, it'll be alright.' (Should that also be 2?).
Thanks

Two sentences, or what I would be doing is using m-dashes or ellipses:
'What do you mean? What can't she find?'
'A heartbeat...she can't find a heartbeat.'
'Sarah, listen to me—it'll be alright.'
'What do you mean? What can't she find?'
'A heartbeat...she can't find a heartbeat.'
'Sarah, listen to me—it'll be alright.'
