at home doppler?
I have the exact doppler that is pictured in your post. It works really well and I was able to hear a HB at nine weeks. I am a nurse and familiar with using a dopler and I think that this helped. Be patient when you search for a HB. Start very low, press firmly and move the doppler in different positions like a joystick. Good luck!
I LOVE my doppler and it's been a godsend, especially my last pregnancy where I was so nervous about something being wrong after the death of our first son. I got mine from EBay but it was a more expensive one, somewhere around $180 or so, I can't quite remember. I wouldn't trade it for the world! I was able to pick up Mack's heartbeat at 11 weeks, and I tried for the first time with this pregnancy at 12 weeks and found it right away. It's so comforting to check it yourself and know that everything's ok in-between those long waits for the OB appointments. Worth every penny!!!
