I baught one and it came when i was 13wks
nurse tried for h/b at 11+12wks and cudnt find it
i found myself after an hour and half of searching when i was 13+4

I have the angelsounds doppler and I found the heartbeat at 10 weeks + 4. The reassurance from it was well worth the money x

I got the angelsounds and found the heartbeat at 9+1. Which is very early, but I'm also very skinny. I found it very reassuring and so had no worries going in to have my 12 week scan that everything was good with my baby. I usually 'check in' about twice a week. I'm hoping to use it to hear the baby moving soon as well.

I have the Hi Bebe BT200 with lcd display so it also says what the heart rate is each time. It's been fantastic, and I picked up little one 6 weeks before my midwife did! lol

I personally think they are a waste. I had one with my first pregnancy and could only find the heart beat sometimes. Most are not as high quality as the Doctor's, so it will be a lot harder to find the heartbeat. I don't know any Midwives who suggest home use for dopplers, because they are doing research that suggests long term and short term effects to the baby. I personally would use a fetoscope. A fetoscope is cheaper (you can buy one for under $30), they don't do any damage to the baby (no sound waves going into the womb), don't require gel, and will probably last longer.
