Fetal doppler?
I borrowed the ‘baby beets fetal doppler’ from my friend who has just had her 4th baby, i am preg with my 4th at 17wks now. the doppler didnt pick up anything but my midwife can. all i get is static sounds. My friend said she didnt have a problem and detected at 14wks.
after reading on the internet that this doppler may not have a proper certificate, i bought a BF-500. should be delivered tomorrow.
although its high ratings and many health professionals use it, has anyone here used it before? and what was the outcome?
thanks for answers
Its not stressing me out at all, i mainly bought one so my hubby and kids can hear whats inside me instead of wondering why i am getting big and fat!!

I am 11 weeks and I have been using mine for a few days. At first it really stressed me out because I had a hard time finding the FHB. When I finally found it I was so relieved. It was really difficult to find. It has to be in a very distinct place and is very easy to miss. I have mixed feelings about it. Now that I can find it I feel great and am relieved, but at first it stressed me out for no reason. It’s cool to hear the heartbeat though when you do find it. Very reassuring. I rented a good doppler from Bellybeats.com. I heard not to use the ones that you can buy like at Target because they are hard to use. Good luck. Don’t get stressed out if you can’t master it. It is really difficult.
This is exactly the reason they shouldnt be "sold" to the "public"
I’m very much against them being on the market, they are not as easy to use as "we" make them out to be.
All they do is stress you out when YOU cant find the FHB but your MW can…
Leave them to the professionals, they are for medical purposes, not entertainment.
