How much is too much to use a fetal doppler?

I purchased a fetal doppler online about a week ago, and Im wondering if its possible to hurt the baby by using it too much? There are no warnings that state to use with caution or that you should limit yourself on how much to use it. I would like to use it once a day, possibly more than once on some days if I have a hard time finding the heartbeat that day, but only if it is truly safe. I hear a lot of people use them daily, but I just would like some advice. Thank you.

my husband and I rented one and I asked my OB if it was bad to use it daily.. he said it was not. you can use it as many times as you want. Now, if you were to have an ultrasound everyday, that would be different because of all the rays etc.. but this baby heartbeat monitor fetal doppler won’t harm your baby..
good luck!
it is fine to use a baby heartbeat monitor fetal doppler as much as you’d like their is no studies that show it can hurt the baby
The doppler is just projecting sound waves…there’s no way to hurt the baby. Go ahead and use it daily if you want!!
it won’t hurt the baby. basically a baby heartbeat monitor fetal doppler is an electronic stethescope.
Its different than using an ultrasound that uses heat and soundwaves. Anytime you are concerned about something like this you should directly consult your midwife or OB
Actually ultrasounds are soundwaves too.
