This is the one I have. Works great!! Can work with the gel they have or even water based ky jelly. Some say aloe Vera works great too if your looking for a cheaper route. I have an anterior placenta and it picks up her movement and heartbeat super easy.
@mommietobe92, it's just like an aux cord like a headphone piece on both ends. I didn't get it I know I have one lying around somewhere. An aux cord you have at home works fine. It's so you can hook it up to computer.
@jewellmason1234, I love mine!! They had an upgraded one but this one works just fine. Sometimes baby girl hates it so I have to use headphones so she doesn't "run away" from it.
@jewellmason1234, @mommietobe92 honestly is the best investment I have made!! And for the price you can't beat it. I checked other websites and they wanted $20-40 more for the same model. Also if the gel runs out any water based lubricant works just as well!! I've heard some people even ask their midwife or OB if they could give up some gel and that works too. I've been using ez-lubricating jelly the doctors use and I think it's better than the gel it comes with or you have to buy!
I think I've had it a little over a month now, right around 16 weeks. I have severe anxiety and my Meds were all lowered so all my doctors suggested getting one to ease my panic moods and anxiety.
The first couple times takes a little bit to get to used to and find the heartbeat. Don't get frustrated like I did. After you notice the little ones movements and areas the like the best, you'll have no problem. I use it a couple times a week, especially days of concern or my anxiety is super high. As long as I hear the swishing sounds(movement) and find the heartbeat for even a couple seconds my pulse and anxiety back off a little bit.
@mommietobe92, hey girl sorry it's been a few days. Had a couple dr appts early this week. I got the gel from the Drs office but I was using just regular water based KY jelly. Try to ask the dr or nurse if they would mind giving up a tube to save money or just get the KY it's not that expensive
@mommietobe92, did you get yours in yet. It should've came with a tiny white tube of gel. I know mine did and it lasted a little while then I looked up what else I could use In place of the ultrasound gel to save money, and people were saying plain KY jelly lubricant or aloe vera. I honestly haven't tried the aloe yet I have the numbing one and was afraid it would mess the doppler up. I think they meant the green aloe the regular one. If you try it let me know how it works. Personally the water based Ky was thick and lasted longer to find the heartbeat and hear the movements without having to squirt more onto your tummy. Hope this helps.
@lindsey89, Hey , I received my doppler Monday & I'm enjoying it! lol it did come with a small tube of gel. I was just curious of what kind of other gel I can use in case I run out.
Awesome @mommietobe92 happy to hear you are enjoying it. I love mine. Especially when i feel her move and I use the doppler and it's spot on to where she is. Or if she doesn't move due to my anterior placenta, of course I get nervous and I use it and it just eases my mind. That tune should last a little while. The water based KY is just a little thicker so one application goes a long way.
