Fetal Doppler

Fetal Doppler – Handheld Device for Fetal Heartbeat Monitoring

A Fetal Doppler is a non-invasive, handheld ultrasound device used by healthcare professionals and expectant parents to detect and monitor a baby’s heartbeat during pregnancy. It provides real-time audio of the fetal heart rate (FHR), offering reassurance and early bonding between parents and their unborn child.

Key Features

✔ Real-Time Fetal Heartbeat Detection – Uses Doppler ultrasound technology to amplify fetal heart sounds.
✔ Non-Invasive & Safe – Designed for routine pregnancy monitoring without any risk to the baby.
✔ Portable & Easy to Use – Lightweight, battery-operated, and suitable for home or clinical use.
✔ Clear Digital Display (on some models) – Shows fetal heart rate (FHR) in beats per minute (BPM).
✔ Adjustable Volume & Headphone Jack – Allows personalized listening experience.

Common Uses

🔹 Prenatal Check-Ups – Used in clinics and hospitals to track fetal health.
🔹 Home Monitoring for Reassurance – Expectant parents can listen to their baby’s heartbeat between medical visits.
🔹 Early Detection of Fetal Well-Being – Helps identify irregularities in fetal heart rhythm.
🔹 Bonding Experience for Parents – Strengthens emotional connection between parents and their baby.

How to Use a Fetal Doppler

1. Apply Ultrasound Gel – Spread a small amount of gel on the Doppler probe to enhance sound conduction.
2. Turn on the Device – Power on the Doppler and set the desired volume.
3. Place the Probe on the Lower Abdomen – Gently move it around until you locate the baby’s heartbeat.
4. Listen & Monitor the Heartbeat – Observe the fetal heart rate on the display (if applicable) and listen to the rhythmic beats.
5. Clean the Probe After Use – Wipe off the gel with a soft cloth for hygienic use.
