I am 13 weeks pregnant and have one of thos fetal dopplers. for some reaon i can not detect a heartbeat and keep on thinking thatthre something very wrong. Is it too early to detect the heartbeat?? and where exactly is the best position to put your fetal doppler to get he best results. thanks

Im almost 15 weeks, and I just got myself an Angelsounds doppler so I can list to my baby’s heartbeat every day and know its ok. I was just wondering for those of you who have used or are using a doppler, what is the other sounds I can hear, it sounds like a really loud interference, whats goin on in there, is it when the baby moves it makes that noice? Im curious, sometimes its so loud I jump after a couple peaceful minutes of just hearing baby’s heartbeat!

We were using the fetal doppler and listening to my babys heartbeat and we tested mine and it was way slower than my boyfriends.I won’t know if this is common during pregnancy?I was laying down also so maybe that was why.Any insight?

Background:
- I am 12 weeks pregnant, for the first time ever!
- I have had several miscarriages (10w and earlier) and am scared and looking for reassurance from an at home fetal doppler.
- I am obese. Not "thick," obese.

My Question:
Are there any big girls out there who have successfully used a fetal doppler to find the fetal heartbeat, and if so when did you try/find it?
I am talking about an actual doppler (Sonotrax/Hi Bebe/Sonoline are all brand names I’ve looked at). Specifically a 2mhz digital doppler like the ones used in the physician’s office. We have heard the heartbeat in the office, I just need the peace of mind of being able to hear at home.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and today received my doppler. Tried it out, and mine came with an LCD display which was displaying all these numbers like 200, 180, 120, 150 and they were changing every 5 seconds or so, BUT i actually could not hear anything?

I tried everything and still nothing, when i finally did hear a steady heartbeat, i think it was mine! It was only in this one spot and beating the same rate as my own heart.

I am worried now. Why cant i hear the baby? I am 13 weeks along and nothing. Im worried now.

Im 19 weeks and over the past couple days ive used my fetal doppler twice and each time i use it i can loud noises and i can feel her really moving around, and then when i stop i dont feel her moving. Do you think the doppler is causing her some kind of distress, im actually thinking to stop using it because it dont want it to affect her
If you’re not going to answer my question seriously id rather you didnt at all. THANKS

Not a doppler or fetal stethoscope? Just a reglular stethoscope? If so, how far along in your pregnancy were you, which side did you use, and how were you able to find the babys heart beart? I’m just wondering, because I think it’d be cool if I could find the baby’s heart beat so I could show friends and family from home!

Anything helps, thanks guys!

I know this may sound like a repetitive question but, I get myself really worked up sometimes. I do have a doppler and her heart beat is normal. I’ve accepted the fact that she will have her quite days but, between yesterday and today, she’s been awfully quiet. I often hear that if there isnt 10 movements for 2 hours, you should call your dr or go to labor and delivery. Well, I woke up this morning @ 6:50am and I felt about three movements from then until 9:15am. I did check her hb this morning and it was normal 140’s.
So if I go to the dr or labor and delivery about her lack of movement, will they check for something other than HB? Does a normal heart beat mean everything is ok?
Most women around this time say their baby is hyper, but she isnt really hyper.
I had oj this morning and it didnt seem to wake her up. Also, I’ve changed my eating patterns. I eat a lot of little things instead of 3 regular meals because I have no room. Do you think this could affect it?

My husband and I are thinking of renting a fetal doppler to hear the babies heartbeat in between appts, has anyone ever used one? What are your thoughts on it?

this maybe a case of paranoia since we’ve waited long enough to have this baby. My wife is close to her 12 weeks of pregnancy, we had a pre natal visit last Feb.02 (10 weeks and 4 days) and the OB tried to hear the fetal heartbeat using Doppler but unfortunate to locate it. My question is, when do exactly we can hear our little baby’s heart beat to ensure that he/she is okay?
