Worried About Using the Doppler Too Much..

Hi fellow doppler users.  Just curious, how many minutes per day are you using it?  I got it on Fri and used it for a while to find the HB and finally did.  I tried again on Sat for a good amount of time and didn't have luck.  I took Sunday off but tried again this mornig for about 10 mins.

I think I may be obsessed, lol.

Just wondering how long everyone else is using their's?  I read in a post down below that just a few mins every few days is safe...

Also has anyone asked their MD or MW about their safety?  I asked my MD and he basically said it would be hard to find the HB so don't waste your money but didn't say anything about them being dangerous @ all.

Re: Worried About Using the Doppler Too Much..

  • My OB said it's 100% safe. I used it every other day with DS until I could feel movement. This pregnancy, I use it about every 2-3 days. I don't monitor my minutes. Last night, the baby was moving all over and we could hear it on the doppler so DH and I just sat and listened for about 10 minutes. Normally, I just find the HB and quit. That only takes 2 minutes. Good luck!

  • Thanks.  You put my mind at ease Smile  I am hoping I can find it sooner once I am further along.  I found it Fri but no luck since Sad

  • With DS I used it twice a day every day...seriously...I was OBSESSED. Embarrassed But I would just find it and quit. I never sat there and listened to it. So far...DS is a "normal" child. However, in a few years when I tell him to clean up his room and he doesn't hear me...I may blame the doppler use.

  • My MW told me that there isn't enough evidence yet proving that it is safe to use on a regulare basis. She seemed really concerened at the thought of me buying one and using it at home. I never ended up getting one.

     

    Good luck
