Doppler’s safe to use? Have been debating on getting one, just to listen to my little ones heartbeat, I’ll be 12 weeks tomorrow!! Just want to get your opinions, I’ve heard it’s not but I always see people using them!! ♥️✨

Question

Answer

It's not that it's not safe. Some people can't tell the difference between their own heart beat and the baby's. That's the only reason why it wouldn't be recommended

Answer

The main reason people are discouraged from using dopplers is to avoid them being used to check everything is fine with baby instead of seeking medical advice - it goes without saying that this is unwise.
If you are planning on using the Doppler recreationally just to enjoy a listen to baby, bond etc then go for it! But never use one as reassurance things are ok if you have any concerns etc always speak to your doctor or midwife ASAP. Xx

Answer

Just don't overdo it and you'll be fine. I use mine like once a week for maybe 5 minutes at a time. Since I have terrible anxiety its super comforting to be reassured that (s)he's ok in there.
