I have been meaning to ask this for some time... do you know why the FDA is now requiring that doctors know?


I ordered mine from babybeat.com.

Hi Jackie


I just wanted to let you know that I ordered my doppler from heartbeats at home and they also require a Dr note, however they handle it on their end, My doppler was sent that same day so it might not slow you down. I think that it is fairly routine so your Dr office should be able to get you the note quickly so you can get it to storkradio....GOOD LUCK!!


I will warn you that I also ordered the one that said as early as 8 weeks, nice digital one, and I am in my 11th week and I still have not been able to hear our baby. I got the doppler the day before we had an u/s so I know at least at that time the heartbeat was there. Just to give you a heads up so you dont panic if you arent able to find it....You might be ok, it depends on where the baby is and your weight and all kinds of things....but I just wanted to warn you just in case....


HUGS! best of luck and I hope your doppler arrives soon!

I was able to order an FDA approved doppler from a place called tummytickles. It is based out of Canada and I got the doppler in two days. I was also able to hea the heartbeat around 7 weeks....... it has been my life saver! I listen now and the baby must kick the doppler, I can hear it bouncing around in there! I love tummytickles dopplers and the price isn't bad either!!!
