Home Doppler

Anyone have a home Doppler? If so,  does it pick up your babies heart rate pretty easy? And where did you get yours?

I bought the angel sounds on eBay for $36 and it works great. I wish I had seen the coupon discount!

I had heard it could be bad for the baby to check that often due to the high frequency noises? Anyone else ever heard this?

My doppler shows the heart rate and when it's in the 140+ I know it's the baby. Plus the baby's heart rate beats faster than yours so its not hard to tell for me because when I hear a faster beat I know it's the baby.

I heardine with the nurse n yo be honest i wouldn't  be able to tell the diff between  the babies heart beat my heart beat my bowl noises n the sound of blood moving around. Its very hard too. I would of thought  all of the above r the babies heart beat if i didn't  have a nurse next to be explaining all the different sounds.
How are you sure its your babies heat beat???

I bought the angel sound for $20. My husband and I only listen about once a week but we love our once a week that we do. We just don't want to become obsessed. It was really easy to find the baby's heart beat.. But I didn't get mine til I was 13 weeks.

I have a sonoline b doppler but I can only pick up my own femoral pulse and the placenta "wooshing" I'm 13 weeks, depending on your placenta placement it may take up until 16 weeks to hear it. Don't over use the doppler as it uses ultra sound technology and you'll be exposing your baby to unnecessary ultrasound waves. I check once a week on the day I turn over a new week just to see progress on the baby.

Yes, I have a sonoline b. I've been listening since 8.5 weeks. It's much easier to pick up now that I'm 11 weeks.
