Doppler

[sh13]

I just found baby’s heartbeat at exactly 12 weeks ! I’m sooo happy just wanted to share can’t believe I found it !

OP, is this a home doppler? They're strongly not recommended for home use. Please have a read -

Important
Do not use a home doppler (heartbeat listening kit) to try to check the baby's heartbeat yourself. This is not a reliable way to check your baby's health – even if you hear a heartbeat, this does not mean your baby is well.

Absolutely do not want to frighten or patronise you. I suffer from anxiety and in my pregnancy mentioned getting one to my midwife, she strongly advised against it for the above reasons.

It’s ok , I’m aware there not recommended I’d always monitor baby’s movements when I got further along I just wanted some reassurance before my 12 week scan , I’m not going to be using it often

It's a lovely experience but home dopplers should be banned.

Throw it away

Aaw lovely... many people will tell you not to use them but as long as your aware of the problems... I don't see why you can't!

I've heard mine at home too and it was a lovely experience sharing it with my daughter. Congrats to you :)

I don’t see the problem with home Dopplers as long as people don’t use them in place of going to hospital.

Thank you canders ! congrats to you too ! How nice your daughter listened with you x

Thesnobbymiddleclassone- why would I throw it away ? It’s given me great comfort after two missed miss-carriages , I can’t feel movement yet so I don’t think there’s any harm in listening every now and again.
