how often do you use your doppler?

[angelama14]

I got mine last week and ended up using it (only for like 10 seconds at a time) twice a day for two days  because my mother in law kept pressuring me to hear it. I haven't used it in a few days now and I'm trying to fight the urge. I don't want to be using it a lot but at the same time...I got it to use it. How much do you momas use yours?

I got mine last week as well. I use it once every other day. Like you said, i dont want to use it too much because I feel like ill become obsessive with it.

I had told myself only once a week but its been 3 days and I'm anxious about it lol.

Doppler?

[angelama14]

Yeah , its a thing you can use to listen to your baby's heartbeat. The doctors use them but you can also buy them online to use at home =)

I got mine on fetaldoppler.net for $52 with free shipping ! I ordered it Wednesday and got it Friday morning, if you're ordering one I definitely recommend that site :)

I got mine yesterday. I think I just now really figured it out.

The more jelly the better, start about 1 1/2 punches down from your belly button and point the head down, you can keep it in the same spot and just swivel the head around and you should hear it :) I got my heart beat and was confused but you'll know when its baby because it will be high. Mines always around 160 or higher. It really is the best thing to ease a worried mommy mind

[angelama14]

Inches** not punches lol

[Krittybug]

How far along do you need to be to hear the heart beat using a home one?

I use mine when I'm concerned. Less than 10 times total this whole pregnancy.

[angelama14]

I got mine at 13 weeks. But I've heard people people can hear at as early as 10 weeks .

@ bebe5709 that's what I got mine for, when I'm getting worried. I've had 2 previous miscarriages and I try my best to stay positive but I do still worry.I think once iI start ffeeling flutters or kicks I won't need to use it anymore. I'm 14 weeks and 4 days so I'm feeling more confident every day with this little bundle of joy <3
