I love dopplers! Always make you feel reassured if you haven't felt baby move much! And I asked my doctor and it's safe lol. They use their Doppler at every visit, so if it were unsafe I'm sure they wouldn't use it at every visit And wouldn't tell patients it's okay to use either... You could always ask you doctor if you're concerned, but I wouldn't be concerned. They make them for a reason! Congrats on your new gift 😊
@rmreed, I’m also studied in the field so what into the ultrasound technicians but I’m sure your right in head 👌 thanks for your input though.
@xomarylee they're the same exact thing 😂 I just personally wouldn't take the risk. Everyone's different
@rmreed, lol let us sink in .. it wouldn’t be as effective.
@xomarylee I work in the ER lol our doppler is the exact same 🤔. I checked
@rmreed, the frequency from the hospital is more intense and there the waves are more effective to recover and get much for evidence on how healthy your baby is.. a home Doppler sure doesn’t catch all those waves.. the frequency is much more distorted. Much less “annoying”
I got one. Read the directions and researched. Basically came up with once a week is ok.
@rmreed, search it up not all doc say the truth not all of them are thought the same either.
@rmreed, lml well a home Doppler’s frequency is much more less the one at the hospital. Plus their is no knows evidence that tells us this frequency has affected any baby ever. Your doctor might just feel the need to believe that but all doctors are different and when my friend and family have asked their docs. They say it’s perfectly safe.
@xomarylee I've never bought one but my doctor has always told me as long as your not doing it ALL the time it's okay..you will be fine 😊
@xomarylee it's the frequency Lol, it hurts them. It's the way the waves enter and bounce off. I don't know after my doctor explained it to me I just couldn't do it to my kid
@rmreed, no I didn’t, I’ve had so many friends and family members do it. I’m sure my baby doesn’t mind. She listening to way more annoying sounds.
My obgyn told me to never use one cause I told her I'd like to get one to ease my mind! She told me doing it frequently is bad for the baby and really irritates them! Did you ask your doctor...Im just curious what other doctors say about them 🤔
@tayler, thanks
