Glad you managed to find it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-doppler-worries#post-642171 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:53:30 +0000 marionberry 642171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pepper: @bao: @jmarionsmith: Thank you so much! You guys are life savers! I was SO worried and you've made me feel so much better! That's great to know how dopplers are used for longer times at other periods in pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-doppler-worries#post-641623 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:41:07 +0000 jmarionsmith 641623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used my doppler every day 2-3 times a day (yeah i have serious anxiety issues!) from weeks 12-20 until i could feel the movement more often. lo is perfectly healthy now! :) really don't stress yourself out. </p> <p>if you ever have to have a non-stress test during your pregnancy you'll be hooked up to a doppler for at least 20 mins and that's at the doctor's office! a lot of women have multiple non-stress tests throughout their pregnancies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-doppler-worries#post-641617 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:39:32 +0000 Bao 641617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are totally fine!! It's not like you had it on there for hours...I think it would be the same as an ultrasound and when they do the 20 week scans they are looking around for sometimes up to an hour! Don't worry, baby is fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-doppler-worries#post-641613 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:38:46 +0000 Pepper 641613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh goodness, I've used it for longer than 10 minutes (especially earlier on when the heartbeat was harder to find!). Maybe they mean more than 10 minutes every single day? I wouldn't sweat it, I used our Doppler a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-doppler-worries#post-641601 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:36:09 +0000 marionberry 641601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I got a home doppler yesterday and was SUPER excited to use it. My DH and I spent probably about 10 minutes off and on trying to find the heartbeat and then finally did. After about a minute we turned it off. Now I'm reading that you shouldn't use it more than 10 minutes a day or else it can cause damage. I'm worried I hurt my baby taking so long to figure it out...especially since it's not like I timed how long we used it.</p> <p>Of course in the future I'll know where to look now and should get it quickly, but anyone want to help me feel better? </p>
