For the fetal doppler to work effectively, there needs to be a gel to act as a barrier in order for the sound to travel. Without the gel, the sound isn’t able to travel through the air as effectively and the friction of the probe against a dry stomach can create too much static. Overall, the absence of gel will make it much harder for you to hear your baby’s heartbeat.
