Does anyone know of any retail stores that carry fetal dopplers? Thanks!

None I'm aware of that are of any use at this stage of pregnancy. Most of the fetal dopplers in retail stores are for use during third tri - ie, not sensitive enough for use now.

BRU, Target, and Walmartcarry them.
I will be honest though, they aren't the best quality and will most likely not pick up a HB until closer to 14 weeks or even more. This tends to cause panic when you buy one and can't hear the HB. So buy at your own risk.

Yes Target BRU and some other places carry them, but I agree with people most of the time it is really hard to pick up so early on.

Like everyone said Target, BRU and WalMart. I've heard Target had some great deals. But, early on it's very hard to pick up the HB. I didn't get ours until just yesterday. We got the Sonotrax B and within a few seconds we had her HB. It was the brand that came highly recommended to me and I'd recommend it all the same. We've used it like crazy last night and today and it's very simple.

Not that I have found. The ones at the stores are not dopplers, they're amplifiers that don't work well in early pregnancy.
We got an Angelsounds doppler from Amazon for 30 bucks that we easily found the heartbeat with at just over 10 weeks!

That's what I was afraid of (re only carrying the weaker ones) - I definitely need a Sonotrax or AngelSounds or similar. MrsJazz did you get your Sono online?

I got my Sonotrax online. I picked the B model since it's 3Mhz. It's very easy to pick her HB up. She still has moments where she runs from it. Matter a fact she did that at every OB appt until 23w, that was the first time I heard her HB. Amazon hide a nice selection from 45$ to 70$ some free shipping. We paid 45$ and got free shipping with the trial of their prime account they have.

We bought an AngleSounds online, but don't have it yet so can't vouch for the effectiveness. But it had excellen reviews and a few ladies on here recommended it. DH did run out to Babies R Us yesterday and bought one of the ones they had, and it sucked. In all fairness, it did say on the label that it was best used in 3rd Tri, but I couldn't even pick up my own heartbeat.
