What are fetal dopplers?
According to Healthline, a fetal doppler is a “hand-held ultrasound device that uses soundwave to listen to the baby’s heartbeat." Simply put, it’s a device that lets you hear your little one’s heartbeat. For parents who want to bond with the baby, this is one way to do it. We can all agree that hearing the baby’s heartbeat is a beautiful experience.

Do note, however, that medical professionals still recommend counting kicks as the best way to monitor your baby’s activity. At the same time, having a fetal doppler should not be an excuse to skip your doctor’s appointments.
If you’re noticing that your baby is moving less or you’re experiencing something that you normally don’t, seek professional help right away.
