They can be harmful in the sense that you aren't trained to use one. You may be falsely reassured by listening on a doppler and not seek help when necessary. Or cause false alarm by hearing the wrong thing or not being able to detect their heart rate. Midwives and doctors aren't just listening to the heart rate when we listen in, there are several elements to knowing if the baby is happy. Just learn baby's movements, that is the best way of knowing your baby is well.
