Doppler for reassurance

Heartrate will be very fast cxx

Heartbeat sounds like horses galloping x

Sounds like the heartbeat to me but take care with using a home doppler, you probably know it's advised against

Hello 😊 where did you get your doppler from? I purchased one from ebay and it just keeps turning off every few seconds. Dont know if they are rubbish cus I went for the cheapest or whether I just have a faulty one.

Hi that’s faulty I think, get a refund and ask for another one. I got mine from ebay as well. They are not very sensitive but they work for sure. But it only works after 16/17 weeks. I know dopplers are not recommended by NHS. But I am 18 weeks with anterior placenta, no movements felt yet. And i had a fall once, when my midwife refused to see me without any pain and bleeding since NHS is overloaded. I believe the Dopplers help a lot when you can’t still feel movements. But you shouldn’t rely on this only. When the midwife wont see you and you need to wait till 20 weeks just to know if the baby is still alive, I think dopplers are a good way of reassurance.

Yes that’s the baby’s heartbeat x
