What Is A Fetal Doppler?
A Fetal Doppler is a device that is used to listen to your unborn baby’s heartbeat inside the womb. Your midwife or doctor uses a device like this to listen to your baby's heart rate at your ante-natal appointments. It used to be that the only time you could hear your baby's heart beat was when you went to your ante-natal appointments - and waiting between appointments for up-dates on your baby’s health can be nerve-wracking! Waiting for that first kick or movement from your baby seemed to take forever…. But now, parents can have their worries and curiositys laid to rest thanks to the introduction of Fetal Doppler’s or Heart Rate Monitors that are now available for use at home.
‘At Home’ Doppler’s allow you, your family and friends to hear your baby's heartbeat whenever you want to in the privacy of your own home. Most Dopplers for use at home work from about ten or twelve weeks into pregnancy and many parents find them invaluable for reassurance and comfort, which is a great benefit in pregnancy! Fetal Doppler’s are not intended to replace proper professional care and check-ups so you should always keep to your ante-natal appointments. A Fetal Doppler is also useful for parents who might be experiencing complications with a pregnancy. Having a Doppler at home so that you can monitor your baby's heart rate whenever you like can give you great peace of mind and allows you to know a bit more about what's going on with your baby. It is a truly amazing experience when you hear the heartbeat of your unborn child for the first time. How Does It Work?
Fetal Doppler’s are battery operated handheld devices and are very easy to use. You simply place the Doppler just above your pubic bone and listen through headphones. You will probably have to tilt the device and move it around at different angles until you find the sound of your baby's heartbeat as it will depend which way your baby is positioned. Usually, you can hear the fetal heartbeat between the 10th and 12th week of pregnancy but some have been known to find it as early as eight weeks!
Fetal Doppler’s put absolutely no stress on your baby, so they are perfectly safe to use during your pregnancy. Additionally, some Fetal Doppler’s, like the Angelsounds Fetal Doppler allow you to record your baby's heartbeat which you can then download onto your computer and e-mail it to friends and relatives.
