Comments on: Has anybody bought a fetal doppler and does it work? http://www.babyheartbeatmonitor.co.uk/has-anybody-bought-a-fetal-doppler-and-does-it-work.php Listen to your baby heartbeat from 8 weeks Tue, 22 May 2012 08:53:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: *Due December 16th* http://www.babyheartbeatmonitor.co.uk/has-anybody-bought-a-fetal-doppler-and-does-it-work.php/comment-page-1#comment-1766 *Due December 16th* Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:49:50 +0000 http://www.babyheartbeatmonitor.co.uk/has-anybody-bought-a-fetal-doppler-and-does-it-work.php#comment-1766 We bought a $20 one from walmart and you can't really use it until youre about 6 months but youre able to hear the babys movements and kicks and the swooshing around and you'll be able to hear the heartbeat. I loved it because i've had 2 miscarriages in the past, so when my baby has his days of not moving as much, I use it to listen to his heartbeat and it puts me at ease. And its funny when we use it because he'll hit the spot where we put the doppler. I think it's worth it.

It's cheaper in the long run. Also, if you are talking about the ones like Graco puts out which is like $20 at Babies-R-Us, it's not worth it, don't waste your money!

For an FDA approved medical grade doppler you can expect to spend upwards of $500. A rental is really worth it. What you see in stores like "Target", "Babies R Us", "Walmart" etc ... are not dopplers. They do not produce sound by using sound waves (ultrasound). They amplify sounds and generally will not work until well into your third trimester (if they work at all).
