Yeah I have it hun - It’s amazing!!!
I really strongly recomend it - Although I have to say I’ve hardly used it since I can feel her kicking - Are you sure you’ll get the use out of it?
Then again it’s great to have for reasurrance if baby stops kicking for a while I guess.
It took me AGES to find it the first few times, but I was only 10 weeks - I would say start from your belly button and work your way down, I always made the mistake of looking too low down.
If that fails look on youtube… Say you’re 15 weeks search, ‘15 weeks heartbeat on doppler’
Look where abouts they are finding the heartbeat and try again. Although I’m sure you will find it
Good luck hun hope you’re feeling well!! xxxx
In my opinion, i dont think its wise to use one of these. They cause unnecessary worry if the heartbeat cant be found and the opposite can happen too, when somethings wrong but you think u hear a heartbeat so dont seek medical advice. Midwifes have training to use one of these! there’s a reason for that…..
A friend gave me one of those at home doppler things and all it ever did was scare the crap out of me when I couldn’t find the baby’s heartbeat. Honestly I wouldn’t waste my money. They don’t work very well. And when you can’t hear baby, you’ll get worried.. although everything is fine.
