Hi Sam,
Yes, sometimes it does take a bit of patience. The position of your little one and how many weeks into pregnancy is different for everyone. We've added a new Instructions & User Guide section on our website that offers a number of resources including videos to provide you with all the information and tips to make it easier to detect your little one's heartbeat.

This is my second time purchasing one…
This is my second time purchasing one of this Dopplers. The first one I purchased with my first pregnancy worked great but this time I have A lot of static in the background even after following multiple tutorials and directions given by the company. It’s so bad that it can’t actually pick up the heartbeat enough to count the rate. I can Hear the heartbeat but I have To be in a silent room and have the volume up pretty loud. It does it’s job and eases my mind but I would like to hear it more clearly.

I like the idea of it
I like the idea of it, however even with hospital grade gel it has a crazy amount of feedback.
Response from BabyDopplerApr 15, 2021
Hi Jasmin,
Thanks for your feedback. Some of the noise and static is normal sounds during operation of a device like this as it is a sensitive instrument. That being said, if you are experiencing a large amount of static and feedback that is interfering with your ability to detect a heartbeat it could mean that you have a defective device.
We always suggest checking out some of our Youtube videos, and some from third-party sources that show how our device is supposed to be used and the expected results. If you feel that your device is different from these let us know and we can send out a replacement to you.
Also please note that we have 90-day satisfaction guarantee. So no matter what the reason, we'll make sure that you are taken care of.
We've already alerted one of our customer care team members to your case, and they will be reaching out shortly.
All the best,

It could be that I have too much fat
It could be that I have too much fat, or baby is simply too small! Im 19 weeks today and was able to hear it perfect last night! Although it took me like 15 minutes to find it!

Thank you for taking the time to review Baby Doppler and your purchase of the Sonoline B Fetal Heartbeat Monitor.
We are sorry to hear you that you've had a hard time detecting your baby’s heartbeat. There are several factors that affect the ability to detect a baby’s heartbeat such as position of the fetus, position of the wand, and number of weeks into pregnancy.
We do have a 2.0 mhz wand that typically helps with getting a signal for bigger moms or moms with more fat. This is available on our website today.
Our goal is to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase. If you have any questions or want more info on this, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected].
All the best,
The BabyDoppler Care Team

Am I slow or something lol
I was extremely excited to receive my baby doppler in the mail. It came fast given the slow mail due to the covid-19 pandemic. The only reason I have rated it a 3star is because I got the doppler when I was 3 months and I am now 8 months I keep trying to use the doppler but it doesn't pick up on the baby heartbeat. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

When i first received the Doppler it…
When i first received the Doppler it worked great. A bit of static when it’s used but worked fine. However I’ve only had it for a few months and use it about once a week but the static has gotten worse. I know the heart rate may be a little inaccurate but it doesn’t pick it up much.
