home doppler

Has anybody only been able to pick up one hb on a home doppler. I am starting to freak myself out. I might have been able to hear two, but I can't really tell for sure. Maybe I should trash this thing and stop making myself nuts.

    That's exactly why I restrained myself from purchasing one. :(

    Sorry I have no experience w/the dopplers - I'm sure both the babies are doing fine. GL!

    Yes, I used one and still occassionally use it if I don't feel them moving a lot.

    What I do is find my heartbeat first and then slather the belly with gel and move it around.  I would usually find one kiddo first and then the second was always harder.

    Good luck!

    My OB used a doppler at an appt around 14 weeks and even he was only able to find one good solid HB. We kinda heard another one, but it wasn't as good. He said it can be hard to hear two good HBs with the doppler with twins.

    It just takes a LOT of patience,,, I mentally mark the spot that I find the first one... and with patience and time I can usually find the other one... and go back to the first spot to make sure that it's right.

    I was living in London the first 5 mo. of my pg and my midwife would try out the doppler at our visits--BUT--always prefaced it with "don't freak out if we can only pick up one of the HBs--it's hard getting both to cooperate". So true! I would say if it worries you or makes you double guess yourself, toss it. As long as your dr. is checking everything at your appts (which I am sure he/she is), leave it in their hands.

    GL!

    We have one.  We found 2 hbs only on the first time at using it.  We usually check the hb's nightly.  At first I really worried when we could only find 1, but I try to remember that we are not pros/may not always hear the 2nd one. 

    It gives me peace of mind just trying to locate them, and having success some of the time.  I'm a worry wart.

    I just did this & it WORKED! I am also a worry wart- so I was so thankful to get this advise.

    Thanks all!
