We had been looking at many at-home fetal dopplers and settled on this one after reading the great reviews. We are not disappointed! After my husband and I experienced a couple of previous losses, my husband and I had a lot of anxiety with this pregnancy. This little device puts our mind at ease. I ordered the gel that's frequently purchased with it and I found our baby's heartbeat on the first try! Depending on your baby's position, it might take you a minute, but be patient. I even checked with our OB to make sure this was safe to use, and was given the OK. We definitely limit our use of it, but it's a wonderful thing to have and my husband and I love having the option of making sure that our little guy is OK without having to schedule a Dr. visit.
