Silly me and my Doppler

[Moofa]

Hello

I got my Doppler today and was all excited.

Put the Gel on my tummy and heard nothing and thought may be at 13 weeks it was too early. So I thought I would test it on my own heart. Nothing again and thought may be it was broken.

My DH walks in and I told him what I was doing (quietly saying it cost £25 incl p&p) and he took it off me and tried to listen to his heart (after asking if I switched it on ).

He then pointed out I hadn't pushed the headphones into the socket properly

We found the babies heartbeat straight away and I could hear it moving around too.

When I got mine it took me ages to work out I had to remove a seal from the battery to form a connection. You're not alone!

Me... I just spent an unreasonable time laughing at my own heartbeat. Managed to find the baby's quite easily but was quite late on when I first tried.

I must confess I've also tried to listen to my guinea pig's heart but she has too much fur.

Loved the bit about quietly telling him what you bought it made me laugh sneeky you!
Id be the same as James told me id be silly to waste the money.
Id love to get one though where did you get your from?
