I know I’m planning ahead but I wanted to go on and start researching good fetal dopplers. I’ve heard that the ones you buy in most stores are pretty crappy. So what is a good one that you know is sensitive? Thank you

I love Hi Bebe Heart Rate Monitor/fetal Monitor
We lost our first child during delivery in 2008. We are now pregnant and I am very anxious. I had bleeding during the end of my first trimester and we decided to purchase this doppler. It was very easy to find her heartbeat the first time we used it at 12 weeks (but I’ve heard you can hear the heartbeat with this monitor as early as 10 weeks). I use it when I get up and when we go to bed at night…I love the reassurance it gives me. There are times when it takes a while to find her heartbeat, but you have to not only look at the location on your belly, but the pressure as well…and the more you use it, the better time you have finding the heartbeat…it is the most beautiful sound in the world!
I bought it with free shipping from…

Hope you like it too. Good Luck!
the one i would stay clear of is the angel doppler as loads of people have had problems with them.
the only ones I have ever heard that work, are the ones you rent, and those are supposed to work really well, I think I heard about mother’s renting them for like 22 dollars, but I don’t know if it is monthly or not. I am not even sure where you rent them from. I hope someone gives you the answer, if not you’ll have to google it. But non of the ones from the store or worth a damn honestly. Good luck!
i wouldn’t recommend women buying a doppler for at home use as they can cause more worry if they can’t find the baby’s heartbeat due to the baby being in an awkward position….midwifes always take a while to pick up my baby’s heartbeat when i go for checkups…and they have the best Doppler’s, costing about £200.
I bought the angel sound, brand new on ebay for $40. It works great. Have been able to hear the heart beat since 12 weeks.
