Weeks between appointments can feel long.
Your next visit may be a month away. You'd love to hear that little heartbeat before then — and share it with the people you love.
How it works, in plain words
A fetal doppler (many moms call it a baby doppler) uses gentle, low-power ultrasound to pick up your baby's heartbeat and play it through a built-in speaker, with the beats per minute on screen. It doesn't check on your baby's health — it lets you hear and share the heartbeat.
This is what a heartbeat can sound like.

Questions moms ask before buying
When will I hear the heartbeat?
Many moms hear it between weeks 10 and 12; for some it's week 14 or later. Before that, silence is normal — even your provider sometimes can't pick it up that early.
How do I use it?
Lie back, apply gel low on your belly, and glide the probe slowly in small circles. Be patient — it can take a few minutes. Our 2-minute guide shows you where to start, week by week.
Is it safe to use at home?
It uses the same low-power ultrasound technology used in clinics. Keep sessions short — a few minutes is plenty. It's for connection, not for checking on your baby's health: if something feels off, call your provider.
What if I can't find the heartbeat?
It's usually the baby's position, not enough gel, or simply too early. Try again another day. If you're ever worried, call your healthcare provider — don't wait on a home device.
Fetal doppler, baby doppler, heartbeat monitor: what's the difference?
They're different names for the same kind of device: a small handheld doppler that lets you hear your baby's heartbeat at home. BabyHeart™ is an at-home fetal doppler kit — the doppler plus gel, pouch and batteries, ready to use. It's for listening and sharing the moment, not for checking on your baby's health.
What if it's not for me?
You have 60 nights to return it unused for a full refund. Every device also has a 1-year warranty.
