I have the angel sounds doppler and it can be tricky at first. I strated using mine about 12 weeks and it took me a couple of days to get it but when you do, you find it easier and easier each time. Right.... exactly as said above you need plenty of gel and as the doppler is a funny shape you need to sort of put it just above your pupic bone and sort of angle the mic downwards, you need to use a resonable amount of pressure too. Dont worry about the screeching sounds it does that whenever you move it around on your skin. The wooshy wooshy sound i was told is liquid around your baby (someone else sugested it could be the placenta) mine makes the sound very close to where i find the heart beat and i always find my babys heart beat on the left. And just remember at 14 weeks its VERY LOW DOWN almost tucked in your pubic bone. Stick with it tho as soon as you distinguish the HB the first time you will never mistake it for anything else. Let me know if you have any questions i have been using mine religously throughout and now 34 weeks and love it to bits just be warned tho the bigger the baby gets and the harder it kicks KEEP THE VOLUME DOWN it can deafen you lol very cute tho but makes me jump out of my skin every time. Hope this helps Emma x

Thank you i radio a few comments on sites about baby interference like static noise is when baby moving alot and close? Ye i picked up more this afternoon lol, do u use yours once a day ? Everyone's different the girl i lent it off had trouble at the start of usuing it and other did, that's why i think mid wife and doctors don't like to try till 17 weeks etc

when i was in my first and second trimester i used it every day more than once, but i had to really limit myself as i was getting a paranoid especially if i couldnt find HB as quickly some days and yes my midwife wasnt overly keen on me always checking things i supose thats their job and not ours lol. Did you manage to hear the HB in the end? i found my babys sounds like a horse galloping along a bit slower now im closer to the end but still amazes me every time i hear it! Dont worry too much if you still cant get a clear sound yet, the more you use it the more you get to recognise the different sounds, youll soon know a kick from a roll to hiccups. Just try not to get obsessed like i did lol i now use it very little but i can see and feel most things so i know my baby is ok. They are not the easiest doppler to use they make them an awquard shape and the interference can be soooooo loud sometimes (putting it thru your computer speakers helps a bit) but they are brill for the price mine was only £20 i think, well got my moneys worth!

i forgot to say also when u use it and your moving it around, do it very slowly and a bit at a time like i said before i always find mine on the lower left hand side about 2 inches away from my belly button but around the pubic bone (obviously as the weeks progress you move it further up your belly) because you really need to be taking notice of every sound but when you hit the right spot youll be sorted x

Thank you for your advice I've asked a couple people on Facebook that's used Same doppler, i been getting loud interference like screeching static noise only happens mainly on my left side, i been getting something but then goes i will try tomorrow led flat down pint of water lots of gel and listen carefully, will listen to my own hb on my chest so i know the difference, have u ever picked up ur on hb in your stomach ? So is it kicking and hicks ups when i hear the loud wow noise that i have to turn the volume down on, I've read a few opinions on peoples experiences etc
