Do y'all think a home Doppler is worth the stress and anxiety? I'm torn between the peace of mind and the stress of not finding the heartbeat.

Question

Answer

I am completely obsessed with mine. I have had three miscarriages and it has really taken away almost all of my stress and worry. I found baby at 9 weeks. It's difficult to find sometimes. But I haven't ever not found it. And I don't freak out with it taking forever to find because I know it's hard. I have the so online b. And the doctors dopplers are more sensitive and have bigger probes. But I still love mine! It's amazing.

Answer

The FDA recommends against it. Why risk it??

Answer

I was told by my midwife & doctor during my last pregnancy that they are unsure if a Doppler will have any negative effect on the baby and recommended not to get one. 
Also the stress is not worth it.

Answer

I want one. Especially after 2 miscarriages but don't know if the home ones even work properly

Answer

I refuse to buy one, I know of I don't find a heartbeat I'll drive myself mad. The nurse at my OB couldn't find it the other day (I'm 11 weeks) and searched forever. Then my DR came in and found it the second she put it on my tummy!
