Anyone else uses a home Doppler?

Question

Hey guys! Does anyone else on here use a home Doppler? I just want to know if it's safe meaning radiation or something wise. I'm 14 weeks and yesterday I heard my baby's heartbeat perfectly. Ever since then she's just been hiding! I'm freaking out. I'm extra paranoid with my previous loss at 8 months:/ so of course I'm just super cautious and my every 2 weeks appointment wait is sooo long.

Does anyone else use it? If so does your little baby run from it as well?? Thank you in advanced!

Answer

I am 11 weeks and use a fetal Doppler every day. I had a miscarriage last summer so it is nice to have some reassurance. As far as I know, its basically like a microphone. No radiation at all. I have been able to find the heartbeat almost every time but even this little, he/she hides sometimes!

Answer

I'm a labor and delivery nurse...yes all babies run from the Doppler and they're good at hiding, especially this early...the bigger baby gets the easier to find he/she will be! Don't stress, Doppler every 2-3 days...daily will drive you crazy. Also, it's easier to find baby if you've been lying down for awhile on your side, then turn to your back to Doppler, baby will be on the side that was up because they float to the top.

Answer

It uses ultrasonic waves not radiation. Once a day should be fine. Especially certain brands are FDA approved
