No, there is no harm in using a doppler. They only transmit sounds, they don’t give off any heat or radiation. They are just like ultra sounds, completely safe! Use it as often as you want. Just don’t worry if you don’t hear the heartbeat every time. If the baby has it’s back to you, you will not be able to hear the heart beat. Some positions make it very difficult to hear.

Good luck!

they are safe but you need to stop panicking, baby is just sleeping, instead just sit back and count baby’s movements, ten a day within 12 hours and she’s fine!

my midwife uses a doppler on me every visit, she said it irritates him a little and makes him move, because it works off of sound waves but that it is perfectly harmless
