How often would you use an at home fetal doppler?

I use mine daily (first thing in the morning) for less than five minutes a day. Is that too much?

Nope. You can use them as much as you’d like. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to hear your baby’s heartbeat(:

As of right now, there is no evidence that using a doppler often will cause harm to a developing fetus. But, as explained to me by my Dr., that is an issue that is still being studied so on the same hand, there is no evidence that it is safe. There’s really no need to do it everyday.

I used mine once or twice a day until I felt regular movement. I think you are using it just fine!

I say enjoy honey… I love every hospital visit I have because I get to hear my little man’s heartbeat!
But personally I chose not to get one as I know I am a worry wort and would freak out if I couldnt find his heartbeat or something….
Congrats and take care!
