I am trying to find a good fetal doppler that would work at 18-19 weeks and after. Has anybody used them this early, how well did they work and what brand was it?

I don’t know brand names because I never ended up getting one… but I looked into this a lot, and have heard that even the pretty cheap ones work great by 18 weeks! They sell a lot of them on E-bay for a good price… you can actually start to hear your baby’s heartbeat w/ a stethascope at 20 weeks (if he/she is in the right position obviously) so it would make sense for those dopplers to all work pretty darn good! I’ve heard that the angel brand ones (pretty certain that’s what they’re called) work good and are really cheap… but not to get them before 15 weeks. SO… yeah. Good luck! It sure is fun listening to that fast little heart isn’t it?
Most of them can be used way before that so any of them will be able to pick it up by this point… Your’e like a week away from being halfway done with your pregnancy so ti’s not THAT early…
ive had mine since week 13 or 14 i think and have been able to hear the babys heartbeat .. the one i use is MEDASONICS II and it has like a subname Tria II .. i love it !but i think they go for like 500$ .. i got it at a once upon a child store used for like 50$, it ende up being the exact same one they use at my doc.
Definitely check on ebay. I’m actually going to buy one from there when I can. They usually run from 78.00-123.00.
You can get some that can pick up your baby’s heartbeat from 7 weeks onward, and some from 12 weeks onward. Just gotta read up on the product. =) I think the brand is Contec, I think.
I used Angelsounds, from eBay, pretty cheap, try Amazon too, and i got the heartbeat at 15 weeks. I have heard some have had it as early as 12 weeks with this brand. i totally recommend it.
