Do baby Doppler's work?

My sister in law got me one and I was just wondering if it would work on me considering I'm 15 weeks but I'm over weight. Oh and in case someone of you don't know what I'm talking about. The baby Doppler she got me is supposed to let me hear the baby's heart beat and movement.

Ohh OK. Then I wouldn't try it.. that one is really bad you won't be able to hear anything. Most reviews say they can't hear anything until 30+ weeks and it actually says in the instructions that you shouldn't use it before 25 weeks.

I didn't buy this one, my sister inlaw bought it from a yard sale. I didn't want to try it and have it not work and me freak out because I can't hear the baby.

No it doesn't work. That one *****!!! The sonoline b Doppler is the best specially if you're overweight. I'm not overweight but I know that its harder for you to pick up the heartbeat BC the baby is so tiny and if you have more layers of fat it makes things difficult. Being 15 weeks you should be able to hear it with a good Doppler. I got mine for 60 bucks on eBay. If you want to get a diff one I honestly recommend that one since you are concerned you may not hear it...

Noooo I got that one, and its the worst thing ever, it really dosnt work I couldn't even pick up my own heartbeat, they should stop making that brand. I took it back the next day then I got Angelsounds from eBay and it is brilliant!! I love it! It comes with gel and earphones etc. Im 19weeks.

What kind is it? The ones that come from Walmart no. But the one you can purchase on eBay Yes it's called a soboline b fetal heart Doppler. It is a lot like the one the doctors office use. It's about $60.or sometimes cheaper If you purchase outside the USA but it takes longer to get to you.

Also the only reason I haven't used it yet is because I don't have a 9volt battery for it yet.
