Are at home Doppler’s safe?

Question

Obviously I won’t be using it all the time but I love having it to check on my baby every now and then. (Previous miscarriage makes me paranoid) I’ve heard so many mixed things about them, are they safe to use maybe 1–2 times a week or not?

Answer

It’s nice to use to listen in later on when it’s easy to find the heart beat but it should never be used if you have a concern in place of going to the doctors or hospital. We used ours purely for fun and had a couple of low movement days in the 1st pregnancy and always went in - sadly too many stories where people listen to the wrong heartbeat. They start becoming effective from about 16-18 weeks I think. X

Answer

They don’t know enough about it to really say from what I’ve read. The FDA advises against using them. I’ve miscarried but still not buying one. I think it would cause me to go crazy if I couldn’t find a heartbeat.
