They’re not recommended in the UK because reduced movement is a more reliable indicator of issues with the baby but once you know that you could still use the Doppler for fun, it just depends if not finding the heartbeat would freak you out! So in my mind there’s only a few months when it would give reassurance, if any, could just cause anxiety if I struggled to find the heartbeat & I’m almost past that since I’m hoping after my 20 week scan I’ll start to feel my baby move. I think I’m managing to close the gap on when it would be useful anyway, ie too early and it’d probably be difficult to find the heartbeat & then once you feel the baby start to move that’s your best gauge of if the baby is okay anyway so the Doppler becomes redundant as a reassurance. Prior to my 12 week scan I convinced myself I’d be unlikely to find the heartbeat anyway & would just freak myself out.Īfter my 12 week scan (the relief was such a high!) my anxiety started to creep back in but it’s now just under 4 weeks until my next scan so I’m trying to focus on that & how great it will be to see my baby again. I’ve talked myself out of buying one a few times. If there’s a particular medical concern or a previous loss you’re dealing with, I would talk with the doctor and see if they’re willing to see you more often. It’s not something a Doppler detect.Įdit: I do know a friend who had a previous MC so when she was pregnant again, she requested weekly appointments during first trimester and beginning of second trimester with her OB and they accommodated her. ![]() The only issue they could help with is cervical incompetence but they measure cervical length during ultrasounds. Minimum viability isn’t until about 24 weeks and before then, there really isn’t much the doctor can do for the baby even if they know immediately the second it happens that something was wrong. Not to mention, that early in a pregnancy, there are no medical interventions that are possible anyway. The way my appointments worked out, I saw either the MFM who does my big important scans or my regular OB who did quick scans every 2 weeks until about 15/16 weeks and by 16 weeks I was starting to feel flutters. ![]() For questions regarding medical conditions, please consult with a medical health professional.I didn’t have one and did not consider getting one even though I am by nature anxious and can over obsess. The use of the machine provides audio and heart rate value that is for non-medical purposes only. All activity that is monitored and viewed with the device should not be considered a medical conclusion. It is not an approved device for the treatment or prevention of medical conditions. This product is not a diagnostic instrument. It covers the depth range of fetal heart detection from the first trimester all the way through to the third trimester to help pregnant women of different gestational stages quickly locate the fetal heart. ![]() The high-sensitivity medical-grade ultrasound probe can accurately identify weak fetal signals and hear the fetal heartbeat at 8 weeks of gestation, but more regularly from 12 weeks. Thanks to our built in intelligent noise reduction system, we have effectively reduced the background noise in order to provide for a clear fetal heart sound. The stronger the signal intensity, the better the quality of fetal heartbeat sound. The signal quality indicator quickly guides fetal heart detection. Its electromagnetic radiation was tested to be 0.00μt which makes it perfectly safe to use. Our Fetal Heart Doppler has been FDA approved and uses the same physical characteristics of ultrasonic waves to detect the fetal heart rate, which is widely used in clinical fetal monitoring during pregnancy.
