Fetal doppler

[ascott]

has anyone rented or purchased a fetal doppler? How far along were you. I am considering purchasing one on EBay, but would like to get some input on them. I would hate to purchase one if they really don't work.

Ky jelly works well and its cheaper than the gel

i used body lotion last time & it worked the same as the gel!

So I may be right. You may start using it after 12 weeks.

i heard my babies heartbeat last night when i was  12 weeks 5 days :) had been trying since about 8-9 weeks and FINALLY GOT TO HEAR SOMETHING LOL. i bought a cheap fetal monitor doppler thing (its a white oblong weird shape with a probe at the bottom) off of ebay for £21 and £7 delivery charge so £27.. the gel came with it however,i have just run out of gel so have orderd soem more off ebay for £2 and £2 delivery charge... i have suffered 4 miscarriages over the last 15 ish months and this is soooo releiving.. girls get on ebay THEY DO WORK, THEY TAKE ABIT OF TIME AT FIRST BUT REALLY DO WORK!!!!!!, my doppler is only cheap but is SOOOO CLEAR ! its amazing

They sell them at Babies r us. For around $25 or so. I think you have be over 3 months but not sure. Let me know how it works out.

I did some looking on ebay...are the $100 ones the same as the ones at target?

i've heard the cheap ones you can buy in baby stores are terrible and a waste of money. many people i know never heard the HB, even at 9 months.
i rented one online last time. I think it arrived around 14 weeks, and i heard the hb right away. i think it was $26/month.

The cheap ones at Motherhood and target, etc only usuallu work to hear the heartbeat at around 23wks. You could rent an expensive one like one at you doctors office for like 20 bucks a month ad hear the heartbeat at 12wks or earlier.

OOOH, I was wondering the same thing!  I think it would help me just to hear my babies h/b, but I wasn't sure how or if they really worked.  Well, obviously I am no help to you LOL!
