The Sonoline B Fetal Doppler met my needs for feeling assured that all is well with baby. I was able to find baby's heartbeat at 11 weeks. Now I can check in on baby when I want to, without having to wait for my next appointment. At my appointment for 12 weeks the doctor pulled out the same model! The device comes with the wand, gel and instruction booklet. You can listen through the built in speaker or attach headphones or another speaker if desired. The volume control is important, as you want to turn it down when moving the wand as that can make very loud and irritating sounds. Be careful when using earbuds, as you can easily bump the wand or the baby can kick it and you'll get quite an earful! 3 program settings are available, although I usually don't need the manual setting. I stick with either 1 or 2 as I have found those to be enough to get an estimate of baby's heart rate. I can easily record the heartbeat using an app on my phone. I have not found a way to record directly from the device. Having a recording is great for sharing with friends and family who live far from you. I highly recommend this Doppler for any expecting mom who is either nervous about her baby's health or who wants to connect with baby on a regular basis at home. Once you have heard the heartbeat it is easy to know what you are looking for, and as baby grows you will find the beat growing stronger and moving about the womb when baby kicks or turns. There are several helpful YouTube videos showing how to find the heartbeat with this device. Read full review

This pulse oximeter does basically what it's supposed to with exception to tracking sleep. It WOULD do this if it would stay on your finger. It doesn't clamp to the finger tightly enough to stay on your finger well enough to make it through normal tossing and turning of sleep. With exception to that, which was one of the features I needed, it does check your pulse and O2 levels as it's supposed to.

This product is easy to use and with a little practice, you'll be able to listen to your baby's heartbeat whenever you want. There are some good youtube videos online that will help you get started. I started using mine at 10 weeks gestation and had no problem locating baby's heartbeat. The bottle of gel is small, but you don't need very much (and when it runs out, regular aloe vera gel works just fine). Sometimes it's hard to "hold" the heartbeat long enough for the unit to register the heart-rate, but for me, the rate is not as important as the presence of a heartbeat. I have had multiple miscarriages, and this provides such relief during the long 4 weeks between prenatal appointments. Worth every penny.

Insurance wouldn't refer me for another sleep study after previous family doctor set BiPAP settings too high. With help of new doctor I've been able to titrate my settings so I'm getting better sleep and my AHI is dropping. I initially tried a different CONTEC monitor but that keep falling off my finger at night and I had trouble pulling data to review. I ordered this and it's been a high difference. The watch is a little bulky, but the fingertip monitor hasn't fallen off once. I'm also able to pull the data first attempt everytime now. This watch also has a built in clock and multiple sessions so it's much easier to sync with the data from my BiPAP machine.

Granny is 100 (2.2016) and her lung Dr has provided us with exercise that helps to keep her breathing right and lungs strong. Slip it on your finger, then relaxingly breathe deep and watch as your oxygen level (known as *sats* or saturation) goes up. We have used this same systems' pulse rate to have family members admitted to hospital. Normal pulse rates are between 60-80. Slipping it on Dad's finger one day and his was below 40, popping up and down by a point or two, he was admitted and ended up not only staying but going into rehab after that. When it is under like that, pace makers seem to be recommended in the long run unless or until a person reaches certain ages. Another family member was placed into the hospital when the pulse rate was within seconds popping 109 97 114 102 88..... this seems to always be a medicinal issue and sometimes they have to put the heart back into rhythm with a small shock. To be able to monitor your family with such an inexpensive and small tool is incredible. Our home first aid bag holds one of these, we keep one in any room where there is an ill Elder; along with a blood pressure cuff (small arm and large arm band) and of course a thermometer. I am not a Doctor, I am an over 60 care taking child with grandchildren, neighbors, parents, Grandparent and others in my life that I care about. This is also a great survival tool for those who can't feel pulse. Read full review
