How often do you use your doppler?

I know the risks aren't fully understood with long-term exposure. So I'm just curious, how often do you ladies use your doppler? Does your OB approve? (Still have yet to tell mine)

I'm trying not to use mine to often, but my PgAL brain kicks in and I tend to be using it about once every 4-5 days and I feel like I'm getting excessive.. and everytime I say I'm going to use it, my DF sighs and says why. I'm starting to feel guilty about using it =/

  • Since I've been able to find the heartbeat regularly, just this week, I used it on Monday and today. I think I will try to only use it once a week from now on.

  • With twins I am having an interesting time keeping track of which baby is which. Although I did find them in two very distinct spots today it still makes me nervous. This week has been the first week I have really attempted it on my own with the patience

  • I use mine once or twice a week. I don't use it for long when I do, just until I find the heartbeat and listen for a moment or two.

    I have mentioned mine to my doc, and they don't seem concerned, as long as I don't panic if I should be unable to
