Doppler monitors can be purchased for home use, which has become possible in recent years, and is welcomed by many expectant parents. Expectant parents enjoy hearing their baby is ticking away at its development, all safe and sound. The monitors are based on ultrasound, which is where frequencies of sound are bounced off of objects and then measured by a Doppler. You can trace things in the body in this way, too. Ships in the deep sea use sonar, a very similar technique, to spot mountains and other undersea obstructions. They also find other ships with it. Fetal Doppler heartbeat monitors will detect a fetus’ heartbeat at 8 to 10 weeks gestation.

At BellyBeats.com you can buy a brand new fetal Doppler monitor for $450. Accessories like ultrasound lotion or gel can also be purchased or are included if you opt for the rental units. Rental units come in both regular and digital Doppler monitors. The regular model is $25 a month and the digital option goes for $45 per month. The difference with the digital model is the screen displays the baby’s heartbeat for you, no listening and counting beats necessary.

Sonotrax, available at Amazon.com offers a fetal heartbeat monitor in the Doppler type, the Sonotrax Basic LCD Fetal Doppler. The SonoTrax Digital is available at Balkowitsch.com, both the basic Sonotrax and the digital model sell for about $149 when purchased new.

You can also go to Ebay and find used Doppler monitors if you would like to get a monitor for a lower cost. Visit fetal heart doppler and fetal doppler for more information.
