An increasing number of pregnant couples and their families are turning to Fetal Doppler rental to provide them with a unique way of bonding with their unborn child. Fetal dopplers, similar to those used in the doctor’s office to listen to the baby’s heartbeat can now be rented from companies such as www.bellybeats.com or www.fetalsure.com for somewhere around $20~$25 per month. It is recommended to use the clear gel with the unit for optimal functioning and sound capture.  Although, these units can be both a blessing and a curse. They can provide a great deal of reassurance for parents if the pregnancy is high risk. And, they may help prevent unnecessary visits to the doctor if the baby is not moving around much and the parents are worried about the well being of their unborn child. In five minutes or less a healthy heartbeat can be found and the parents can rest easy once again. On the other hand, should the expectant mother or father not be able to operate the Doppler correctly; for example trying to find the baby’s heartbeat before the recommended eleven weeks time frame, or looking in the wrong place, can have the parents rushing to their doctor in a blind panic when all is in fact, well. It is a personal preference whether to have a fetal Doppler at home during your pregnancy but it is, it appears, one that is increasingly popular. Speak to your doctor or health care professional prior to purchasing or renting a unit and make sure you know how to use it properly.

If nothing else mothers (and fathers) can rest easy and have peace of mind knowing that their baby is developing normally and safely. What’s next, at home ultra sound machines so you can actually see the baby in ultrasound 3D? Only, if the rumors are to be believed, if you are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
