Baby doppler reviews7/8/2023 ![]() Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please refer to the legal disclaimer page for detailed disclaimer information. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is intended for informational purposes only. Fetal doppler systems send microwave acoustic signals (usually at about 2-3MHz) into the womb and measure how the signal changes when it comes back to the device. WonderBee™ Pocket Fetal Doppler does not provide medical diagnosis. The WonderBee™ Pocket Fetal Doppler has 3 Operating Modes and has a built-in speaker for audio output and is equipped with an earphone plug so one can listen privately. It contains components of an ultrasonic transducer and receiver, analog signal processing unit, Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) calculating unit, LCD display, Control Unit. The WonderBee™ Pocket Fetal Doppler is a hand-held obstetrical unit, which can be used in hospital, clinic, and home for listening to a baby's heartbeat. ![]() This easy to use monitor is made of premium quality. I think it’s probably pretty personal whether it would make you anxious or be useful, but the long & short of it is they should only be used for the fun of hearing your baby’s heartbeat anyway & not actually for reassurance everything is okay because it’s not a guarantee & doesn’t supersede the medical advice that movements are the best indicator.Listening to the sounds a baby makes is like music to a mommy's ears! Bond with your baby through the amazing experience of hearing his/her movements inside the womb 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. I didn’t have one and did not consider getting one even though I am by nature anxious and can over obsess. ![]()
