I'm Currently Feeling:  | Angel sounds tips
Anyone got any tips for me picking up LO's HB??
Do I need the volue high/med/low?
Where do I start??
I cant get anything other than a dull drone in the back ground and the odd pop!!

I'm Currently Feeling:  | try it on meduim sound to begin with and u will hear ir faintly then u can adjust it when u have found it.
Try quite low down to the right and press in firmly. Make sure u move it around very slowly and it needs patience!! u will find it, dont give up. good luck!! xx |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | id pop the sound right up....put the doppler down literally right on or just below your pubic bone..so you think "this is too low surely"...move the doppler very slowly, but angle the doppler also, move it very slowly really slightly and then angle without moving it....when you have found your hb, move slightly until you hear the woosh noise which is the placenta, your little ones hb shouldnt be too far away....
i didnt find mine until about 15 weeks though!!
good luck

I think I'm hearing the placenta - its like a constant hum/drone type noise which to me sounds like blood flow.
Right.....I'll be back....... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I always have mine on the highest volume, and use the gel too, picks up the HB very clearly. Its surpising ho low down baby will be try near your knicker line. My baby seems to sit to one side off my belly more too. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Lisa have you go the new 2008 one without the gel? I've had trouble picking up a hb with this one, and even last night, after we'd seen the mw and she found the hb, I still couldn't find it! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have one and its the best thing i bought !! It takes alot of patience to find the HB but once you do it amazing. I find my LO is quite low down so takes some pressing down firmly.
