heart beat

Do those dopelers work to hear the baby's heart beat?

Prolonged exposure of Doppler to the fetus has the potential of increasing fetal temperature thus causing bioeffects such as cavitation most especially in the first trimester. Use with discretion. Just google ultrasound bioeffects.

I got mine off amazon for ab $45, I love it! Once you find the HB you can tell a difference between the baby's and your own. I started listening periodically to my baby around 12 weeks. Its pretty awesome! Its called "pocket fetal Doppler" and the model is sonoline b.

I have an pocket fetal Doppler which came with the gel it better that the angel ones as it basically the same as your midwife will use but remember that you shouldn't rely on them as my midwife was telling me that a women she was looking after didn't feel her baby move for awhile and decide to use one to find the baby's heart and thinking she had she didn't say anything to her midwife when it came to birth the women had actually been listening to her own heart beat and unfortunately the baby had died :.( just please be carful xx

Yeah I got the angelsounds doppler.  I found jr at 8 weeks.  It is tricky to find but once you get the hang of it, you'll find it straight away from then

Yes but many times is talky hard to find especially in the first trimester and by someone inexperienced
