What are Ultrasound Dopplers/Fetal Heart Monitors and
how are they used?
Baby Dopplers are small hand-held devices that allow you to hear your baby's heartbeat
in the womb while pregnant. Our range of doppers
are used by midwives in the Health Service all over the world.
Usage: Firstly, ultrasound gel is placed on your pregnancy bump to
produce a clearer sound. The doppler probe is then placed
upon your bump and sends out waves.
These waves bounce back when they detect the baby and are picked
up again by the Doppler probe. The waves are then
sent to the Doppler's speaker so you can clearly hear your baby's heartbeat.
Dopplers have been used for over forty years and have proven to be
completely safe. Our Dopplers are CE certified, meaning
that they have been passed for sale and hire across Europe. We
also sell FDA approved Dopplers for sale to other parts of the world.

Why hire or buy a Doppler?
Dopplers are a great way of reducing anxiety during pregnancy,
especially in the months before you can feel the baby moving. In between visits to
the midwife/doctor, Dopplers can provide reassurance and peace of
mind quickly and easily.
Lots of people use Dopplers to let other members of the family share
in the experience of pregnancy - it can be a really useful
way to involve young brothers and sisters.
Our Dopplers work from 12 weeks, but have been known to pick
up a baby's heartbeat as early as 6 weeks old. There are a number
of cheaper 'Baby listeners' on the marker which do not use Doppler ultrasound
but instead simply amplify normal sounds from the abdomen. The sound
quality from these other devices is very poor and often nothing can
be heard until at least 25-30 weeks of pregnancy, leading to some very
unhappy customers.
Why Hire or buy from DopplerHire.co.uk?
My husband and I set up DopplerHire.co.uk in June 2004 after
encountering complications early on during my own pregancy. I
experienced a great deal of anxiety and worry in between hospital
visits, waiting until our next scan. After a while, we managed to
find a company hiring Dopplers for personal use.
Having reassurance at hand that I could hear my baby's heartbeat without having to wait for an appointment with my midwife, completely
changed my pregnancy experience from one of anxiety to comfort, leaving
me to enjoy the rest of this special time thoroughly.
I wanted to make the same kind of reassurance available to other mother's
and so found a good quality supplier to now offer a very competitive
range of products, along with a personal service. In a matter of a couple
of years DopplerHire.co.uk has grown considerably and our products have
been posted to almost every continent in the world. We receive letters
of thanks from happy customers frequently and am sure that you will
find the same level of service.
