Fetal doppler - best one?

[Danielledutton1987]

Hi I'm new to this site so hi! I'm looking for some info on fetal dopplers, I really want to order one but I'm not sure where to start or which one is best. Can anyone advise me on which ones are good and can hear the heartbeat quite early? I'm 10 weeks at the moment but by the time its ordered and received I will be 12. Thanks in advance x

A lot of people will advise against getting one.

I have the angelsounds doppler which I love. I started using it at 14 weeks and got so much joy from listening to the heart beat. (use youtube videos to help you understand which sounds you are listening for).
As long as you are not using it as a judgement tool for your babies health, but as a nice chance to listen to your babies heartbeat I do not think that they are dangerous.

Please don't. Honestly, they can give you false reassurance if you aren't trained and experienced in these things.
You can't tell that your baby is ok just by hearing the heartbeat (if it definitely is the fetal heartbeat, not yours). If you found someone collapsed in the street, would you assume they must be healthy just because they had a heartbeat?
I understand how anxiety making pregnancy can be but having one of these could actually make that 100 times worse if you don't really know what you're listening for.

Don't bother. They are a waste of money and can make you think things are fine when they aren't and vice versa.

I'm sure you know they aren't advised as we all do but we get one anyway (I did) I had the Sonoline B from eBay, had no problems with it at all! I just liked getting home from work and being able to find the little heartbeat if you were anywhere near me you could have it as it's now sitting in my wardrobe

Please please please don't get one.

While it might be "nice" to hear your baby's heartbeat, It can give false reassurance.

FurryElephant if you arent going to use it again I'd be happy to buy it off you and pay postage if you dont need it? Let me know xxx
