what stores carry a fetal doppler?

i live in hemet california, and i dont want to have to wait to get a doppler online, is there anystore i can get one at?

I rented one because Im a worrier and I love to know that everything is ok.
I am 15 weeks pregnant and it kept picking up my heartbeat.
Eventually I thought I found the babys (it was 130 - 140bpm) and it stayed like that for about 10 seconds then it faded away, and took me ages to find it again.
Im not even sure if it was my babys as every now and then the doppler changes drastically.
Is this a sign that something is wrong? Or is it normal to have trouble finding it?

Am I feeling my baby move?

I’m a little over 15 weeks pregnant. For the past could days or so I’ve felt a little popping feeling on my lower left side. I thought I was going crazy.

Today the Fetal Doppler my husband ordered came in and the only place I could get a clear heart beat was where I feel these pops.

When did you all feel your baby for the first time? Do short women (I’m 5′1") feel the baby a little sooner?

Thanks everyone! =)

I recently bought a fetal doppler so I could check on the baby if I was ever worried,my OBGYN actually suggested to get one because my baby is lazy and doesn’t move a lot.I have watched my OBGYN and they find her heartbeat instantly but every time I use it I can never find her heartbeat,I know she is in there because she will kick.Any suggestions on how to find her heartbeat?

Which fetal doppler should i get?

I want to buy a fetal doppler but I’m sort of on a budget. What do you ladies suggest? Im hoping to find a reliable one at under 0 dollars. Thanks!

Fetal doppler/heart beat monitor…?

I am almost 22 weeks pregnant and would like to buy a fetal doppler, I have seen lots around but was just wondering if anyone had used one before and if they actually work? I understand sometimes it can be difficult to find the heartbeat but I really want to try. Also if anyone could recommend one that would be great!! Many thanks :)

I see it on ebay and its the only one I can afford, if I buy it, I will only be 10-11 weeks when it arrives. Will I be able tp hear the heartbeat then? Does anyone have it that has had success that early on with it? Just looking for peoples experince with this little device. I dont wanna buy it and freak myself out if I cant find a heartbeat.

i feel as though it could just be round ligament but with my daughter i didnt feel this till about 16 weeks! i used my sonoline b fetal heart rate doppler and the babys heartbeat is just as strong as always i dont feel like somethings wrong, i just forget already what it all felt like with my daughter. haye ideas on what it may be?

28 weeks, worried about movement?

I’m 28 weeks pregnant with my first and I’m still not feeling her a lot, I’m lucky if I feel 10 movements all day on a good day, and sometimes I don’t feel her at all for a couple days. I had an appointment with my family doctor last Wednesday, he doesn’t have a fetal doppler since he is only a family doctor, but he said her heartbeat was healthy and he heard her move, since he listens with his stethoscope thing, but I didn’t feel anything. I have my first visit with my obstetrician tomorrow. So I will get to hear the heartbeat out loud and I will ask him about this, but I’m still wondering if anyone has gone through this ? I am a bit of a worrier.

Has any one used an at home fetal doppler?

My last pregnancy ended in a late missed miscarriage so I want to either rent or purchase a fetal doppler this time around so I’m not constantly worried. I see the ones on E bay for around but have never used one, does any one know if they really work?

pain at top of stomach at 11 weeks pregnant?

I am 11wk2d pregnant and feeling sharp pains at the top of my stomach, in the middle of my rib cage. Am also feeling a few cramps although I that this is normal in pregnancy am still worried about the sharp pains at the top of my stomach. I’ve googled this pain and can’t seem to find to anything regarding this. I do have a fetal doppler and listened to my baby’s heartbeat today, but using the doppler often concerns me so I don’t really want to use it again unless necessary.
Any ideas? any input would be really appreciated. thank you
Please can you make sure that they are regarding to the pain at the top of my stomach and not the cramps. I know the cramps are normal and they are not intense just normal cramps that are felt during pregnancy. thank you

So im REALLY confused.
i am 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant
i think i found the babies heart beat on my left very lowerrr abdomen.
but the beating is slow like 70 beats per minute a fetus should be atleast 150 BPM
but im pretty sure it is the baby cuz if u move it the sound disappears. and when i check on my chest for my heart beat mine is MUCH faster!!
and i just discovered my right lower abdomen u can hear beating there as well?
but its about 70 BPM
am i wrong? is it my heart beat?
I have not yet had any ultra sound done and wont until my 1st OB check at 10 weeks.
so any opinions/ANY info would be very nice!
Thanks

I bought a fetal doppler online and got it in the mail yesterday! I am exactly 12 weeks pregnant and am not scheduled for my first ob/gyn appointment until 2 weeks from now. I was able to hear my baby’s heart beat for the first time at home lying on the couch! The heart beat was steady at 150 bpm. Is this a good heart rate for a 12 week pregnancy? I’ve heard that it varies depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy!

FOR THE PERSON WHO THINKS I’M ‘SPAMMING,’ I’M SURE YOU’RE ABLE TO VIEW MY PREVIOUS ASKED QUESTIONS! I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND THIS IS MY 3RD… IF YOU AREN’T GOING TO OFFER A BETTER RESPONSE TO PEOPLE… THEN DON’T OFFER ONE AT ALL! THANKS!

First of all, i know everyone will say that’s impossible but i have a fetal heart doppler at home and just heard heartbeat. I didn’t think it would show up until at least 10 weeks but i just used it for the heck of it. I found the heartbeat really low in my abdomen closer to the right side at 132 bpm so no it wasn’t my own heartbeat. i used this same doppler with my son so i know what to look for. i was just wondering if anyone else heard heartbeat that early with doppler?

Home fetal doppler shows slow heart beat?

I just received my fetal Doppler and am super excited. I’m 9 weeks 5 days pregnant and have seen my babies heart beat twice at the doctors. Both times babies heart was at about 160. On my home fetal Doppler it is showing anywhere between 80-165. It usually stays around 105-110.
I’m wondering if its not picking up every beat because its still early or if this is cause for concern.
I have the sonolineb 3mhz.
