I'd like to know too Nikki when you are really supposed to be able to hear with an untrained ear

JJF Do you use the gel with your doppler? maybe something to do with me not using the gel had something to do with it not working properly either

I'm def with you on this - I'd love to be able to hear HB when I want but when I couldn't find it I would PANIC!!!! Aaaarrrgggghhh!!!!

JJF · Nov 26th, 2008, 10:22 AM

No, this one is so cheap, its not ment to be used with gel, its hard to explain but I'm guessing its not a REAL doppler, just little thing to use when baby is bigger probably. You can play music to the baby also.....

Congrats Niki, great news about your scan!

I'm fotunate my Mum is a Midwife so she will bring a Doppler home and she knows just where to look for baby. i'm unfortunate because i live 180 miles away from my Mum! I've asked her to bring one home when I go home at Xmas so I'll be 11 weeks or so, I really hope she can find the hbeat!

I couldnt buy one myself, I'd be using it 24/7!

Anyone else feel really sick? Ugrr I feel terrible and have been sick twice today! I'm just hoping it keeps up as I was really sick with my first baby for only about a week and then it went back to mild nausea. That was when I had my MMC so fingers crossed I'm sick for weeks! Strange, wanting to feel sick isn't it!

Lyns · Nov 26th, 2008, 11:06 AM

Well, I just bought one

from the place that SJK mentioned.

www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk

They have the Angelsounds doppler which is quite highly recommended if you search 'dopplers' on here.

Its normally £24.99, but if you use the code reward before the end of November, you get 5% off and free postage I think. I ordered myself a ton of Bio oil as well...wonderful stuff!

The instructions for mine say from 12 weeks, and my midwife also said she will be monitoring baby's heartbeat from 12 weeks.

For me, as I don't have an EPAU within an hours drive, I figured that if I ever go through a worrying day (I did twice in pregnancy last time) where I don't feel baby move, then I can at least perhaps save myself a long trip to be monitored.

And it'll be nice to listen to my little Marmaduke chatting away to him/herself!

Hubby, of course, has already listed to his own heartbeat (yep he's alive) and tried to check the dog isn't pregnant....which would be surprising, as its a dog not a bitch!
