MetroDoc Baby Fetal Doppler

At-home baby dopplers are safe to use and will not cause any harm to the baby.

The device uses sound waves to detect the heartbeat through the wand. This is the exact same technology used during an ultrasound at the doctors, but simply without the image.

We urge all expectant mom's to not solely rely on our device to determine the health of your baby. Continue to follow all procedures and checkups recommended by your healthcare provider.

Our device is meant to give you peace of mind and to share the experience with others who cannot join you on your regular doctors visits.

A baby heart doppler is a portable medical tool designed for detecting and tracking the fetal heartbeat throughout pregnancy. It employs ultrasound technology by emitting sound waves into the abdominal area and capturing the reflected waves from the baby's heart. Subsequently, the device translates these signals into audible sounds, enabling expectant parents to listen to their baby's heartbeat.

Generally, it is advised to initiate the use of a fetal doppler for monitoring the baby's heartbeat after the 9th week of pregnancy. In the initial phases, when the fetus is still small, reliably detecting the heartbeat can be challenging. However, as the pregnancy advances and the baby develops, utilizing the doppler becomes more effective in locating and listening to the heartbeat.

It's vital to employ moderation when using the fetal doppler. While finding comfort in listening to your baby's heartbeat is understandable, excessive use is discouraged. Many healthcare experts suggest restricting usage to once a day, with each session lasting no more than 10-15 minutes. If you ever have concerns about your baby's well-being or sense any abnormalities, it's crucial to reach out to your healthcare provider rather than relying solely on the doppler.
