Signs of a healthy baby?

Question

I'm hoping to buy a Doppler here ok the next few weeks so that I can calm down in between appointments, but until then, are there any signs or ways to know that your baby is still healthy?

Answer

If you are already panicking I wouldn't buy the Doppler...it's not always easy to find the heartbeat and then it's going to worry you even more. Try keep your stress down...not good for baby!

Answer

I could never buy one I would make myself crazy and paranoid.. Good luck!

Answer

You might as well get a fetoscope at this point. You should be able to find heart tones easily after about 20w. 1/2 the price and safer. You can use it anytime you want as long as you want with no exposure to anything.

Answer

I swore I wouldn't get one, but got given one with a pile of baby stuff. Came in handy when I ended up bleeding and couldn't get an appt for a scan till hours later! Relief! Don't really use it much as 32wks now and constantly feel baby move - thats good enough for me! Think it depends on how far along you are. If your feeling baby, I wouldn't bother :)

Answer

I bought one around 9 weeks and haven't had any problems finding the heartbeat. One day recently, around 17 weeks probably, it took me a few minutes. And I panicked for a brief moment. Hearing the baby everyday is a great feeling though. Maybe just wait until you're at least 12 weeks to buy one, just in case.

Answer

I did buy one it should be here Monday. I have a sister in law who is an RN so she can help me out to find the heartbeat. I also live in a small town where there isn't one. And the closest Doppler is 45 minutes away.

If you have an active baby that's a sure tell sign =) how far along are you?
