Lovely pics sal and bubble!

today i have also purchased my angelsounds doppler should arrived next week im slightly nervous as i said i would never buy one as i'll only panic if i cant find baby but i have also warned myself not to use it too much, anyone else have a doppler? what are your views?? hope everyone is well

I've got the angel sounds one I love it and I use it every day! Start really low - right on your pubic line and you sometimes have to put a bit of pressure on it - and lots of gel xx

excellent advice thank you very much

Bubblej - I have the sonoline b and I use it almost every day. The first day I tried (8w 6d, I believe), I searched for way too long (almost 2 hours - oops), but I didn't really know where to look, so I was all over the place from pubic bone up to belly button - left and right. I told myself I wasn't going to stress, and I actually didn't because I knew it was early. I tried again 2 days later and found baby within a couple of minutes. Once I knew where baby was hiding, I've been able to find it every day since within a couple of minutes (sometimes seconds)... with the exception of 2 days where it took me a bit longer. You have to tell yourself not to stress if you can't find it. The baby is moving around a lot and sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the hb because baby keeps moving in and out of range. There are days when all I get is a quick second and then nothing.

Take your time and hopefully you'll be able to find it your first try. Move the wand around very slowly - not really moving it at all, just going in circles. I watched a few videos on Youtube, which helped a bit, but keep in mind that every baby is in a different place. Sharon was right - start low and move left to right before you try moving up. Also, when you run out of u/s gel, aloe vera works great!

I have another u/s on May 9. Thanks Boofle!

 

[CharlieKeys]

boofle.... I'm gonna be one big pain in the backside but my scan is the 26th... not the 16th hehe! I think I had 26, 20 and 16 in my post SO I can see why you got confused

 

[bethanchloe]

ooh your 20 week scan is on my birthday! What a good day to have it on!!

Maybe it'll be lucky and bring me a boy like yours

 

[sharonfruit]

Heeell yeah, my 16 week midwife is 15th May and my 20 week scan is 16th June ! xx

Do you mind me asking... did your 20 week scan come in the post or did you make the appointment yourself? I don't know when to expect mine, I haven't checked my mailbox in about a week

Great advice, Cridge. Also, KY Jelly works great too! My dr was using it at his office with his Doppler...
