POCKET FETAL DOPPLER: The device uses color LCD to display the fetal heartbeat waveform, and numeric figure of the fetal heart rate to help prevent intra-uterine complications. It contains an ultrasonic signal transducer, analog signal processing unit, fetal heart rate calculating unit and an LCD display.
An at-home fetal Doppler—sometimes referred to as a pocket fetal Doppler—is a handheld baby heart monitor designed to help you hear baby’s heartbeat. The device sends sound waves through your skin and tissue in search of any movement.
How to use a fetal doppler at home?
- Insert batteries into the doppler.
- Lie down in a comfortable position and raise your shirt slightly.
- Apply some gel to your lower belly. …
- Turn on the doppler and slowly move it around until you hear the heartbeat.
Fetal dopplers are made up of two parts—the probe and the main unit—connected by a cord.
Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to detect the movement of blood in vessels. It is used in pregnancy to study blood circulation in the baby, uterus and placenta. Using it in high‐risk pregnancies, where there is concern about the baby’s condition, shows benefits.
Turn the doppler on and slowly — really slowly — move it around until you can hear the heartbeat. The earlier it is in your pregnancy, the lower you’ll likely have to go. Try below your belly button. Be aware that you’ll also hear your own heartbeat and the pulse of an artery.
