Question about dopplers

[Mrs CW]

Hi all,
I was just wondering how often you use your dopplers if you have one?
I only decided to use mine after my scan and I've used it 3 times, as soon as I found the heartbeat I listened for about 20secs then stopped. I've heard mixed views on using them and I don't want to use it too much.
Hope you don't mind me asking.

I use it about once a week for maybe 5 mins max. Not because I'm Worried about anything just as I work etc

 

[Mrs CW]

Thanks hun, thats what I was planning on doing. Its so nice to hear the heartbeat x

 

[pinkyprincess]

Yeah OH likes it too

i listen every 2 to 3 days for less than a minute, as soon as i find the heartbeat i listen for 30 seconds ish and then turn it off, just a bit of reassurance really

Used to use it every 3 or 4 days just for a minute but now I feel baby moving I've only used it about twice in the last 4 weeks or so. Used it last night as baby had a lazy day and didn't move as much as normal, it got it moving anyway not sure it's very keen!

I have been using my once a week.
Haven't used it this week yet though. The last time I used mine was 8 days ago xxx

Where did you guys get yours from? I've found one on Amazon for £20 and one for £26, both angel sounds, but the £26 one comes with gel, recording cables and CDs. Is this a good price? Thanks.

I got my angelsounds one from amazon for £12.99 and a pack of two bottles of gel were just over £3

I use mine every 3-4 days and once I get the hb I listen fr about a minute. Its reassurance fr me until LO starts moving around.
Mine is angelsounds which I got off ebay. I bought the gel separate but the instructions say you can use babyoil or water instead

 

[Mrs CW]

Thanks all it seems like we all use them for a similar amount of time. Toni, I've got an anglesounds from amazon I think it was £18 when I brought it. There was gel in the box along with recording cds and cables and you can get 2 bottles of gel for £3 . x

I havent used mine since 16weeks tbh.. used it every other day from 10weeks.. made it seem more real.. but now i can feel the kicks i dont really bother with it tbh.. if bubs was to have a day with no kicks id defo use it coz it kicks 24/7 its all reassurance really. I dont think there are any risks in using it to much... is there?
