Should I buy a doppler? Where can I buy it? How much does it cost?

You can consider these pros and cons to help you decide whether or not to get a Doppler: Pros - Provides a peace of mind (especially in high risk pregnancy) - Allows you to check the fetus’s heartbeat when it is not active - There is no known negative side effects associated with the usage - May be able to provide a bonding experience between mother and fetus Cons - May not be always reliable (potential of adding more stress if it is not) - Constant monitoring may led to the parent overlooking any signs of distress

If you wish to listen to your baby's heart beats at your home, you can purchase one. It is quite fun to detect the baby through a fetal doppler. You will need to purchase the device itself and gel. You can purchase from a local online shop, Qoo10 for about S$40 http://list.qoo10.sg/item/GLOBAL-CARE-MARKET-FETAL-DOPPLER-BABY-HEART-RATE-MONITOR/404966115

I also used Luvion doppler. Can be bought from www.luvion.com.sg too. Same price with shipping don't have to travel to buy. :) Frankly speaking it's just a good to have item not a must. You can listen to baby's heartbeat when you go for ultrasound scans with your gynae.

I bought a Luvion doppler. It can be purchased from Takashimaya at $138. It's made in Germany. http://www.luvion.com/baby_care/doppler_dlx80/doppler_deluxe80/

I bought one from taobao - cost about $25. Can consider the BabyTalk brand

thanks
