Doppler
Hey, for those that use a doppler. How often should you use it? Is there a limit, like once a week?

@Danielle oh thank you. Is there a reason why you should only listen for a short amount of time? Sometimes it takes me a while, mainly when baby is moving about. Yeah I'm just using it until i can feel them move
Although there has been no evidence that ultrasound / dopplers cause harm, they just like to be cautious as they can’t be 100% certain. I am 15.5 weeks and I find baby is still really low down. Just above the pelvis.

I use twice a week currently. I will stop once I feel baby’s movements. I find the heartbeat pretty quick so usually I’m only listening for 30 seconds to a minute. You should use sparingly. Once a week is probably better especially if you listen a little longer, I literally get the heartbeat, listen for 15 seconds and then stop. And once you feel regular movements you should monitor those and not the heartbeat anymore.
