the mid eighties then again in about 1990 or 91. Does anyone remember the
dates?

I was wondering if you were lurking coz I

Heart Doppler.
Just like the ones used by your doctor or midwife,
it allows you to
monitor your baby's heartbeat at home or when
you're out.
Dopplers are safe and simple to use, and can pick
up your baby's
heartbeat from as early as 10 to 12 weeks into your pregnancy.
