It is very common that women get worried about the health of their babies in an early stage of pregnancy. The use of Baby Doppler reduces this stress because it allows you to monitor your baby’s heart beat, which is a simple way to check if your baby is doing fine.

Baby Doppler work by receiving a heartbeat sound and then amplify it, so doctor can examine if everything is fine inside or is there any problem. Under the normal situation, we cannot hear the heart beat because there are many layers of tissue, fat and muscles. There are also fluids and liquid, which resist the sound, the result is we cannot hear the sound with bear ears. That is why a Baby Doppler device is used. However, you can only hear heart beat of your baby after 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, so do not get worry if you do not hear it straight away.

We take special jell used in a Baby Doppler device then apply it gently to your belly, a probe is placed on the belly and moved in order to receive a good signal. The signal is then sent back to processing unit, after processing you can see the output at the monitor or you can hear the sound. The Baby Doppler device and heart rate monitor at home has a similar process.

Baby Doppler devices are very simple and you can yourself calculate the heart rate of your baby. These are portable, so you can also run these on batteries. Which makes them available anywhere you want. Some products have warning system they alert you if fetal heart rate (FHR) is too fast or too slow.

Peace is a priceless element for pregnant women and products like Baby Dopplers are helpful for baby heartbeat monitor. Finally it is soothing for a mother to listen to her baby’s heart beat.

Baby Doppler

The baby heartbeat can be monitored by using fetal Doppler. A fetal Doppler is a device that observes the heartbeats of your baby. Baby Doppler can be used in home but it is important to confirm that you are using FDA approved Doppler. However ultrasound is safe for your baby.

You can monitor baby’s heartbeat at any time after the 10^th week of pregnancy until your due date.

The main advantage of fetal monitor is that it gives comfort to parents and gives them trust that their pregnancy is succeeding as it should. The Baby Doppler is really useful and effective for those mothers who are really worried about their little babies as it helped them to connect with their child.

Baby Doppler uses to check out the high frequency sound waves that are formed by your baby’s heart. These sound waves are not easily heard under normal conditions. The probe is then moved until your child’s heartbeat is noticed. When the sound waves are found, they sent from the probe to the Doppler (fetal heartbeat) monitor from where you can hear it.

Baby Dopplers differs in their frequency ranges between 2 or 3 MHz probes. Normally a 3 MHz probe is recommended during early days of pregnancy. While a 2 MHz probe is recommended for overweight pregnant women. Doctor must be consulted for choice of baby Doppler.

It is important to have proper prescription of your doctor before using heartbeat monitor. Secondly mothers should visit doctor timely whether she is using baby Doppler in home or not.

The best way to begin an exam is to be lying down exposing the abdomen, although it may be possible to find the heart rate in a sitting or standing position. Apply a generous amount of ultrasound gel to the fetal Doppler probe. Early in pregnancy the best technique is to begin with the transducer (probe) on the midline of the abdomen (above the pubic line) aiming downward behind the pubic bone. The probe should then be angled slowly in search for the fetal heart rate.

Be patient, early in pregnancy the size of the fetal heart is so small and the sound so faint it can be very easy to pass over and miss the sounds. A 2 Mghz probe is best for early detection, standard on Hunt Leigh FD1+ and D920. A full bladder can make it easier to find the heartbeat. Try to keep from dragging the probe around as it will only increase static and make it more difficult to find the heartbeat.
