I’m 12.5-13 weeks pregnant, and ordered a fetal doppler online today, just to give me piece of mind. It looks like the ones the doctors use. Has anyone else had an experience with one? What are your thoughts?

They are amazing and awesome to have. Its nice to be able to hear your baby’s heartbeat anytime you want.
Just from what I have heard, sometimes it can be hard to pick up the heart beat. So, if it doesn’t, don’t panic! I think those things are neat, but I never got one for myself because I’m the type of person that worries about EVERYTHING. So, it probably would just drive me crazy!
Just use it with caution.
Good luck!
There not as easy to use as you might think, if you have problems find the heartbeat take it withyou to your next appt. and have the nurse show you how to use it.
