Hey im 37 weeks pregnant but was just having a nose through, hope u dnt mind. I bought my angelsounds doppler when i was around 7-8 weeks pregnant and didnt hear a thing, i kept tryin but it says on the back u wont hear til about 14weeks, well when i was 9 weeks i heard the heart beat, it sounds like a 'peow peow' kind of echo, thts really fast but its not that loud. Oh thout at first it was my heart beat but the rates and beat was different. I used body lotion to pik up heart beat, as even now its hard without cream but id try using stretch mark cream to prevent any unwanted strech marks in the next weeks ( my tummy looks like ive had tiger print tatoo lol) . And use a baby wipe afta to clean off the monitor cuz if u av mornin sickness n find smells turn ur stumach, ul get sik of the lotion smell so give it a gd clean lol
but now i use it n listen to my lil boys kiks n hicups, words of advice DONT TELL MIDWIFE Y ARE USUN THE DOOPLER, THEY HATE IT. they think u wont turn up to apointments, n if u cnt hear heartbeat one day when u did the day before, its usually just the way the baby is lying. Unless u hav bleeding n cramps, then contact ur midwife straight away. X enjoy ur pregnancies, hope this helps... can't believe how fast its gone, at least this christmas i can have a drink! Lol (sorry ladies didn't mean anythin by tht lol) xx
