Nikko - I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages, the doppler was the best thing I have ever bought, and I bet you feel the same! I haven't had any scans are anything done yet so I really have no clue whether my baby is OK or whether it is just a blighted ovum!!! I wouldn't have a clue if it wasn't for my doppler. Hearing the heartbeat has made me look forward to the 12 week scan instead of scared about it.
Laka - I got my doppler from ebay. They range from anywhere between $25 - $200. I paid $130 US plus postage for mine - I wanted one that I thought would be good. And so far it has been great. I got a 3mhz. I researched the difference between 2mhz and 3 mhz and went with the 3mhz because I thought that would help me to hear the heartbeat better, which I have been able to. However, you are taking a risk buying dopplers off ebay, you really don't know how good they will be - I kept an eye on the site for a while until I found something decently priced and that I thought would work OK. You can also hire dopplers. A lot of people hire them from babybeats and many can hear the heartbeat really early. I live in Australia, so hiring them here isn't as easy.
Hello ladies, where do you get home doppler from?
I am about 10w5d and have doctors appointment on Friday.
Thank you and congratulations!
Welcome, Bailey. I also got a home doppler. My next u/s is next monday. Doc puts me at 11 weeks and 3 days. I have had 2 m/c's so I know what you mean about the baby hb making you feel so much beter. I check mine at least once every two days and especially on days when I don't seem to have any preggo symptoms.
