Pregnant after a Loss

UPDATE: To doppler or not to doppler; that is the question

I just gave in and ordered the Sonoline B 3mhz.  I'm really starting to freak out again, so I think that this is the best thing for me.  Thanks everyone for your thoughts on dopplers last week.  I'm hoping this will help me cope better :-)

    Good luck!  I loved having the doppler in the stage before I could feel LO moving around.  The Sonoline B worked great.  :)

    I promised myself that I wouldn't use it every day when we got one. DH and I checked in once a week to hear the heartbeat. I hope this helps you through this stage in your pregnancy.

    I'm in that in-between stage of losing my symptoms and feeling movement, so my doppler has been keeping me sane! I have to admit though, I can get obsessed with it sometimes, but my anxiety is so much lower. Whenever I am worrying about something, I whip out the doppler and calm my fears.

    I hope it eases the stress for you!

    That's interesting that they are trying to use a doppler with twins.  During my first pregnancy my OB said that they wouldn't use a doppler because it was too hard to know which hb was whose.  They said they only use u/s for multiples.

    My Dr. uses doppler for multiples, too.

    I will be right behind you shortly on the doppler train . . . I've been debating on ordering one as well but I think I'm going to.  I would order it now but I'm kinda early yet to hear anything and I know if I did get it right now I would start using it because I have self control and then not hear anything possibly and then freak myself out!  Plus I have an u/s next Thursday so I've decided on waiting until after that u/s to order it!  By the time it gets here I will be 11 weeks +/- but I'm excited to try it!
