I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and I use a fetal doppler every other day. I use it because it reassures me that everything is ok with the pregnancy and it gives me peace of mind. I read somewhere recently that a doppler can make loud sounds in the womb. Could the doppler cause my baby to go deaf? It is making me worry sick and I do not want to use it again until I know it won’t harm my baby!

I’m supposidly a little over 18 weeks pregnant according to my last period (June 10th) but i had irregular periods before i got pregnant. I haven’t had an ultrasound done but will get one at the end of the month and i only got to hear the heartbeat once on the doppler…

Anywhooo, my question is - Why would i be feeling the baby move up under my ribs? Like small kicks or pokes (maybe an arm or some type of appendage lol) about an inch or so under my ribs? This is my fifth pregnancy, third baby (if all goes well) so i definitely know what fetal movement feels like its surely not gas. What would explain this??? Has this happened to anyone else and what did it end up being? I’m getting more and more nervous that there’s two in there or that im much further along than i thought… altho at my 16 week visit the midwife told my my uterus felt like i was about 14-16 weeks along….

i am overweight tho so maybe it could have thrown her off a bit? And my alphafetaprotein tests came back abnormal…. the ultrasound at the end of the month should confirm the dates and check for any abnormalities and the nurse said its more than likely that the dates are just off due to my irregular periods before.

So what do you all think?
oops. i just realized im on my husbands profile… plz ignore the name and the dude picture this is not a troll question lmao

I had my monthly doctor’s appt. this morning. I told my doctor that I have been using a fetal doppler to hear my little one’s hb. He advised me to stop using it. I asked him if it could cause problems with my baby and he simply said "We don’t know." I’m really nervous that that could mean something terrible. I use my fetal doppler every other day for about 1-2 mins each time. I use a Sonoline I bought from Amazon. It works great but I’m worried about damage that I could have caused my baby, like hearing loss or brain damage

Hey guys have you used this fetal doppler please let me know if it is good I need one so I am confused or if you know one that is good let me know that one the name and frequency…thanks in advance

I’m 20 weeks pregnant and have had multiple ultrasounds in this pregnancy (around 10) and am about to go in for my 20-week one soon. I am so concerned about the safety of ultrasounds!I asked my nurse practitioner about this and the safety of at home fetal dopplers (since I use one to monitor my bub) and she assured me that there are no risks to baby. Of course I go online and read about how damaging they can be to a baby’s developing brain, especially if so many are done in the first trimester. My issue was that I had to have the ultrasounds done at that time (the first trimester)! I had several trans-vaginal and a few abdominal. Could having all these ultrasounds damaged my baby’s developing brain or hurt his hearing in any way? I know that when I use my doppler, he wakes up instantly and begins to kick really hard.

I was just curious if anyone has used a home fetal doppler baby heart monitor during their pregnancy
I am 11 weeks and I just ordered mine today ~ I am renting one to use.
How was your experience if you used one ?
How often did you listen to your babies heart beat ?
How many weeks were you when you first started using one ?

Thanks so much for your help !!! :o)

This is my first pregnancy and I have been feeling little flutters in my lower abdomen, right where the baby is supposed to be. When I went to my ob a little over a week ago the baby was moving away from the fetal doppler she was using to find the heartbeat (which we ended up not really hearing much of). Is it normal to feel it this early?

Im 21 weeks through my first pregnancy and I have yet to have an ultrasound, I have heard a heartbeat. I am starting to feel kick in two different locations! upper left and lower right. might i possibly be carrying twins or am i going crazy? wouldnt the dr have found 2 heartbeats on the doppler if so?

Hi i am 21 weeks pregnant & i have a fetal doppler.. However i have been listening to my baby 4 the last 10 mins & i could hear a heartbeat in 2 different places?.. Is this normal or is there a chance of me having twins & 1 baby was hiding on the scan?… I have a scan in a week.. But was wondering it this could happen & has it happend 2 anybody else? Thanks in advance.. x
ALOT of movement also!!
