Anyone plan on using a home fetal doppler?

Question

Anyone plan on using a home fetal doppler? I got mine this week for 30$ from fetaldoppler.net and it was by far my best investment ever. It gives me such peace of mind being able to hear the heartbeat every day after having a miscarriage. So far I am loving it and have had no issues. I'm 7+5 now but I found it easily at 7+3.

Answer

You cannot find the hb at 7+3 what you heard was your own hb or the placenta. Baby's heart beat will not be heard until 9 wks at the earliest. Not being mean it just is. Call your md if you think I'm being untruthful. It's very exciting to hear the hb but you've still got a bit to wait.

These are some articles explaining better.

If Doppler should be used at 7 wks our medical professional would do so. The earliest they'll try is 10 wks. Most not until 12-14 wks.

Answer

I'm pretty sure you can't find it that early. You probably found your own.

Answer

Wait a couple weeks and try. You have arteries that can sound like it would be baby's heartbeat. I thought I had found it around 8 weeks but was definitely wrong. Watch some YouTube videos of women using them so you can know exactly what you're looking for!

Answer

Just found the heartbeat at 12+3. I don't plan on using it all the time, but every couple of weeks between doctor appointments it's nice to know that everything is okay.

Answer

I used one for my last pregnancy due to my first pregnancy ending in a miscarriage, but it does take alot of patience to find the hb

Answer

Love mine. Found the heartbeat at 9.5 weeks, on the first day the doppler arrived it's a great way for me to end or begin the day. Since it's still so early I mentally prepare myself that it may be fainter or harder to find some days and that's okay.
