Pregnant after IF

Bought a Doppler!

2 years ago I would have made fun of someone who bought a Doppler.
Now here I am! The total neurotic pregnant lady and panicking every day that I will lose these precious babies! IF has made me a nut. I figure the Doppler may help ease my worries. I had to promise my husband that I would not freak out if I couldn't find the heartbeats!
Can't wait to play with my new toy.

Re: Bought a Doppler!

  • I've considered getting one but I knew I'd become obsessed with it and panic if I couldn't find the heartbeat! I laughed when I read your post because I actually did think it was a little nutty for someone I used to work with (a while back before my struggles) when she said she bought a Doppler and used it multiple times a day. I don't judge anymore... Enjoy your new toy!!

  • My husband gave me a very stern "NO" when I sent him the groupon deal for a doppler.  He said I'm already to high strung, it would just make me worse.

  • I caved too and bought one online! :) I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm 9 weeks 4 days and haven't been able to find the heartbeat. I started trying last week just for fun. I just had an ultrasound on Monday and everything was great so I'm not worried. Let me know if you're able to find your baby's heartbeat...maybe you'll figure out a good technique. I also know that it's still early to find a consistent heartbeat, so I'm being patient.

  • Good luck and have fun with it. I'd really be cautious about using it this early on twins though because it will not be easy to get them both. Only you know how you'd react to that, but I know it would push me over the edge. Plus I saw at my 10w scan that they like to hide one in front of the other- no way could anyone have gotten both of them short of an ultrasound!

  • Best thing in the world. Hubby told me not to get it because it would freak me out if I couldnt find the heartbeat but i couldnt resist. Im so glad I bought it. I went on youtube and found a bunch of videos on how to use it which were extremely helpful since sometimes the heartbeat has been hard to find. The videos helped ease the nerves and gave great advice.

  • Ha ha, thanks girls!
    10 weeks tomorrow and haven't found a heartbeat yet, but I'm not worried b/c I know they are snuggled in nice and tight!
