Fetal doppler?

I'm thinking about buying a fetal doppler. I go to all my doctor appointments without my boyfriend. He works and has a hard time getting any time off. Last appointment I got to hear our baby's heartbeat. He didn't, and is feeling left out. Which I can understand. Has anyone else used them?  And if so, what were your results.

I have the Sonoline B fetal doppler, I don't use it nearly as much as I did in the beginning because now I can feel her move. I bought mine off Craigslist, for $30. I was able to find the baby's heart beat at 13 weeks. I highly recommend it I've never had an n my issues finding my baby's heart beat I just went by where the doc last looked. I used lotion instead of the aloe gel and I always layed down. Good luck! ♡ :)

Thanks ladies. I'm 15 almost 16 weeks. So, I'm hoping to be able to find it easily.

I used a cheap one, with aloe vera gel lol. I was able to hear my baby's heart beat (with a lot of work to find it) at 9 weeks. It gets easier to find the farther along in your pregnancy though. Definitely worth having, for peice of mind.   :)

I got one off ebay called angel something ( I forget ) and it works good. I paid 20.00 for it. I used baby oil with it for the gel.

I was in late first trimester or early second trimester when I bought a cheap one from Walmart I think. You could plug it in to the computer and record the baby's heartbeat and then email it, or I'm sure these days, post it to social media for family who didn't live near. I want to say it was around $20 but I don't think Walmart sells the one I had anymore although it's still made as I've seen them for sale, just can't remember what store carries it. Maybe babies r us?

You have to buy a really good one and most you can't hear anything until later in pregnancy. Good luck if you find one that works good let me know. O and you could record the heartbeat on ur phone... .I know it's not the same but that's what I have done.
