Review: Angelcare Foetal Doppler

So this is sort of a review but also a huge "awwwwwww" mummy moment aswell. The wonderful people at The Baby Directory sent me an Angelcare Foetal Doppler to test and hopefully relieve some of my constant panic sessions lol. Ive used it a couple of times now...the first time i used it was within minutes of it being delivered lol but I got it out today as my 3 year old daughter was asking if she could talk to the baby and I thought it would be nice if she could hear the baby while she chatted to it about her nanny and grandad! Awwwww. Now onto the technical stuff lol. This is what the device looks like:

It is priced from £34.99 It comes with headphones, a recording cable so you can record the baby’s heartbeat and kicks to a CD, mobile phone or MP3 player and a little tube of ultrasound gel. The transducer is only a small part of the overall device but that actually means its easier to angle to where the baby is in my opinion anyway.And as I am by no means a professional it does take me awhile to find the baby's heartbeat. Also as a word of warning if you dont want to deafen yourself (trust me I learnt from experience) I recommend only having the volume on low to start with while you find the baby and then turn the volume up! All in all it is very easy to use as long as you have the patience to chase your baby around your tummy lol and it's a great way of getting any younger children involved with the pregnancy....oh and hubby too! I definately recommend it if like me you are constantly worried about every niggle or if you dont feel any movements for awhile and you dont want to pester your midwife every 5 minutes! And if like me you know lots of pregnant women at the moment you can do what we did the other day and have a bump party and pass it around lol.
