What is a doppler ultrasound?

A doppler ultrasound is a form of assessment that measures blood flow through your vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (also known as ultrasounds) off circulating red blood cells. 

Originally used to diagnose heart and blood flow conditions, doctors in obstetrics now also use the test to scan for pregnancy and detect a baby’s heartbeat and blood flow within the womb. 

Through ultrasound technology, the device sends a high-frequency wave into the abdomen of pregnant women. These sound waves travel and then pick up movements in the womb, such as your baby’s heartbeat, and signal them back to the device. The signal is then translated into a sound or waveform, allowing you to visualise or hear it.

As an expectant mother, you may want to listen to your baby’s sounds of joy. And with that, you can count on BabyHeart. With our range of pregnancy doppler ultrasound devices, you can listen to your baby’s heartbeat.

How is a doppler scan done during pregnancy?

A doppler scan during pregnancy usually includes the following steps. First, you will lie on a table, exposing the part of your body being tested (usually the abdomen for expectant mothers). Your doctor will then spread a special ultrasound gel on the skin over that area. 

Your doctor will move a wand-like device called the probe over the abdomen area. As the device sends sound waves through your uterus, you may begin to hear sounds caused by the movement of blood vessels in the fetus. 

Note that the sounds typically vary, especially as the doctor moves the device towards the umbilical cord and blood vessel–rich areas like the placenta. These data and sound waves are then recorded and turned into images or graphs on a monitor.

Our at-home pregnancy doppler ultrasound devices generally follow similar steps to regular doppler scans:

1. Make sure the batteries of the fetal heart monitor are fully charged and properly inserted. 
2. Lie in bed with pillows behind you, or take a seat on a comfy couch or chair. 
3. Roll your shirt up and lower the waist of your pants or skirt to make the lower part of your abdomen visible.
4. Spread a thin layer of ultrasound transmission gel on your lower abdomen, covering the area from beneath your belly button to the level of your pelvis between your hips. 
5. Place the probe of your home fetal doppler against your lower belly and turn on your heartbeat monitor. 
6. By moving the probe around, you can detect the fetal heart rate. As your pregnancy progresses, it will be easier to discover a heartbeat.

If you’re using our mini doppler, the instructions are the same, but you place the entire device against your abdomen as the probe is connected to the mini doppler.

Which week is best for a doppler scan?

With our premium fetal doppler ultrasound device, your baby’s heartbeat can be detected in your womb as early as 12 weeks.

All of our baby doppler ultrasound devices, including both the advanced and standard options, can also detect heartbeats as early as 12 weeks.

While our pregnancy doppler ultrasound device works similar to regular ultrasounds, it is still recommended that you schedule regular appointments with your doctor. Exercise caution in self-diagnosing as only a licensed physician can monitor the health and treatment of your baby during pregnancy. 

Our home dopplers provide a wonderful way to bond with your baby as you experience the miracle of pregnancy. To shop a fetal doppler online, browse through the BabyHeart collection of pregnancy doppler ultrasound devices and accessories.
