I'm Currently Feeling: | The most invaluable tip I got was to lie on your bed with your feet on the floor so that you're stretched out. When you start to use the doppler, start VERY low down, just above your pubic bone and move it SLOWLY.
Good luck!  |

| I have the same doppler and the baby's heartbeat took me ages to find. Go from left to right just at your pubic bone very very slowly and then move up for the next line across. When you find the placenta and your heartbeat angle the doppler around there moving ever soslightly...you will find it, just takes time.
Good luck!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | My GP told me that most MW's can't find the HB with a doppler before around 12-16 weeks. I found it easily around 16 with my own and I checked bottom corners of my bump, to the left or right of belly button. |
