I have one and at 15wks I couldn't pick the heartbeat up but I could clearly hear the whooshing sound of the placenta and my own heartbeat.
I'd try again in a few more weeks and you should be able to hear the heartbeat clearly. |
Hi Vicky,
It's a proper baby doppler that I can listen with and also record my baby's heart beat or my own hear beat.
I always hear the whooshing sound as well but manage to listen to baby's heart beat only for a couple of seconds. They said on the box that I can hear the baby's heart beat from 10 weeks(obviously not).
Hopefully I will hear it soon.Fingers crossed.
