I agree about not sharing the worry on dopplers; I also dont share it on u/s. These kids had so many of them and, when we were doing research and talking to doctors, the issues came when babies were ultrasounded for 30-45 minutes+ several times a week.

Hooray for thumpathumpathumpa

I have no problem saying that I rented a doppler with both of my girls’ pregnancies and used them almost daily from about 12 weeks until the very end (37w1d and 37w5d respectively) with no ill effects whatsoever. Healthy, happy babies and happy mama with no more DBTs…huzzah all around!

I had more ultrasounds while pregnant with the twins then I care to admit, and they are perfectly fine. Using the doppler to give you peace of mind is WAY more important than the TINY amount of waves….waaaaaaay more important.

Just wanted to insert a little HURRAH! here,
so glad it did not thwart you.
I was worried you’d be worried and that would suck.
Happy it was just 30 seconds.
and so VERY happy for your thumpathumpa.
Cannot WAIT for you to feel him move.

thank you for your sweetness about my scare last night.
I promise I will follow up with a doc, I promise. it scared the snot out of me.

Whoo-hoo! I am so glad it was easy to find, and that sounds must be sooo reassuring. And surely the lowering of mom’s stress is worth everything too!

Yay! Just the post I ws expeting and wanting to read from you. Gld he didn’y yorture you by hiding for long.
Did I mention that even used the doppler/ultrasound at work in the third tri when I was feeling her move regularly? She had a oupl veru sluggish mornings that freaked me out and I needed to be sure she was still alive.
Doppler – what a great invention!!

Awww, that is so awesome to hear (pun intended). I am reminiscing back to my own “first” with a Doppler.

I became more adept at using it than the nurses at my OBs office or even in L&D (the two trips I made there). And, mine was more high-tech than theirs, too!

I wish I could hear it but I’m relieved for you and know exactly how that relief and joy feels.

I’m smiling as I type this!

Yaaaaaayyyyyyy! And no worries. I used my doppler daily from 11 weeks until around 20 weeks. We’ve made it this far!
