Yes, with both LOs. I had a m/c at 9 weeks with my first pregnancy, so I was incredibly anxious, especially with LO1. It definitely calmed me down and there were only a couple times I didn't find it. I tried again a few hours later and it was always there.

Yes, with my third pregnancy (first that made it far enough to use one). I loved it. I used it done with my fourth, but at that point my fears weren't of her not having a heartbeat, so it wasn't reassuring anymore.

Yes, I did, after my 1st pregnancy was a MC and then being told it was unlikely we'd ever concieve or carry to term. I used the doppler every couple of days 9-17 weeks. It was so relieving whenever my anxiety would get out of hand. I still have some of the heartbeat recordings I made.

Didn't find it necessary with my first but got one for my second. It's nice to have the confirmation between appointments.

Kind of. I used one with both of my pregnancies, and for the second, she was hiding behind a big vein and I couldn't find her even at 16 weeks. It was really stressful, and I wish I hadn't bought it.

I am a first time mama and I rented one while I was pregnant. I used it from 15 weeks to 19 ish and I loved having it to ease my mind. I had the same experience as @jlm22: and was surprised my husband let me get it. Haha. I agree with what she said ably seeing my how it is not right for everyone!

No I think it would have freaked me out early on and I tend to feel movement very early. (Like 14 weeks).

I did!
A nurse friend let me borrow hers with explicit warning that if I drove myself crazy with it or called her crying, I'd have to give it back.
It was really cool to hear his heartbeat before I could feel movement.
