When did you stop using a home doppler?

djtippietoes · October 2013

Between weeks maybe 12 and 20, I was using my home doppler like once a week. But now, I find myself more anxious and am using it almost every day. I have an anterior placenta so I'm not really feeling much movement yet. When did you stop using yours? Or are you still?

I'm 38 weeks and still pull it out occasionally, when baby is having a slow day. It's less than once a week at this point!

I'm 29 weeks and over the last month I've only used it once.

I used it the whole time I was pregnant with my son...so don't feel bad. I used it a lot before I could feel movement, and then the further I got, I typically just used it when he was having a "slow" day.

Based on my experience with ds (i didnt have a doppler with him), I anticipate using it a lot just prior to feeling movement and then again in the home stretch when LO has lazy days.

DS was an active baby, so I didn't use it much once he was moving around regularly (around 20 weeks maybe). I would pull it out every once in awhile if he hadn't moved much.

I haven't had to use it since 17-18 weeks. Baby is generally super active. But honestly, on slowish days, I would use it if I could remember where on earth I put it last. Ha ha.

I used mine through the whole pregnancy. Anytime I felt a little panicky/worried id take a listen.

At nearly 31 weeks I haven't stopped yet. The frequency has decreased significantly, but I still pull it out once in a while when he has a slow movement day.

I had an anterior placenta too so I wasn't feeling much movement at that same time, 19-22 wks. Then, as my LO got stronger I could feel her movement more. I still use the doppler a few times a month. I just love that sound!

I am 27 weeks and just used mine yesterday for the first time in a month. LO was having a slow day and PGAL brain got the best of me. Thank goodness for my Doppler because I found his little hb right away and felt so much better!

Mine has been in the box for awhile now. I stopped using it as much once I started feeling LO on a regular basis and would pull it out only if baby was worrying me.
