Doppler

[Sarah8101]

Hiya, I'm 16w+1 and am due my midwife check monday, I've found the whole pregnancy to be anxious times so far. Scans have always been fine and low risk of downs.

I bought a Doppler from amazon, cheap looking but with good reviews! Know it'd hit and miss but I have worked my bpm to about 100, and central of stomach, right literally above hair line I have 145bpm-found it once then couldn't find, but heard this morn :-)

This is baby isn't it? I read somewhere that the beat won't be found that low down at this stage??

hi sounds like it, important expecting twins and that's roughly what mine are, i have one low down and the other quite high, my friend was Here the other day and she said hers was always low down :)

I just bought one! Got THIS ONE

Hoping I can hear clearly through the bloody fat on my stomach!

lol, I got one called anGel sounds!

I have a lodge podge too but with the gel there's no reason why wouldn't pick it up. Took a while to pick it up as kept getting my own but it was right down under belly button, but low(above hairline)..if it is it then sounds like a cross between the ocean and a train type sound, someone said galloping horses and it prob does!

Was only £20 so am quite impressed x

I also have an angelsounds one and it is great. It is very low just above the hairline and much lower than my bump which I am a little miffed by.

I usually find it in the same place although sometimes it moves. When I had my 16 week scan the mw found it in the same place and it sounded the same which was reasuring.

I found on scans it's to right of belly button bur on this it'd way lower - yeah it is strange!! Lol I was really skeptical about this machine and thought it'd end up making me more anxious but providing thT is the heartbeat, which I think it is (fingers crossed) I feel more relaxed now :-))))

All the best with ur pregnancies...think it's time to start enjoying it
