Fetal Doppler and how frequent can I use it?

[seattlemama]

I recently rented an at home fetal doppler at heartbeatsathome.com and I was wondering if anyone knows how often I can use it. Is it safe to use everyday? Its amazing to hear the babies little heartbeat but I dont want to overuse it and cause something to happen...

i am very sure that you can use it everyday. i have one and it says you can use it 3 times a day.

They are safe to use. I only had one person say "oh you shouldn't use it that much" at my12 week scan ... then everyone else said that was bollox!

I used mine every day I was told that they are not the best for the sanity sometimes ... panicing that it doesnt sound as load, that the digi display is lower/higher blah then after 30 weeks MW told me to put it away the amount of movements were now more important.

The one I bought is safe to use whenever I want... 2, 3, 10 times a day as it emits no energy into me or my baby. It's not like an ultrasound. Woohoo how exciting
