My bitchfest is home dopplers. I was gifted it with my previous pregnancy. I don't use it often, but had used it "just to see if I could" before my last u/s and found the heartbeat immediately.
Thought "wth... I'll check it today" and couldn't find it and it definitely added a ton of unnecessary stress, even though I knew it didn't mean anything. I tried one more time and did end up finding the heartbeat, but nope... not using that anymore, its just not worth the anxiety.
@artsiefartsie aww sorry for the stress! I have one here, but was pretty good with the last pregnancy having the mindset of: look for 1 minute and then put it away, everything's fine and you'll likely not find it consistently until 15 weeks
@marbellie I *thought* I had that mindset until I actually couldn't find it 🤦♀️. Thankfully my dr said I can come in whenever for a heartbeat check, and if I was actually worried because of symptoms or something that is where I need to go anyway.

If you don't have one, don't get one! 😆
