I had bought one off eBay which claimed to be an ‘at home Doppler’ and looked legit, said it could be used from 9 weeks. I think it's good to understand two totally different experiences and reasonings. We are all different, and people who have anxiety are all different. I responded to your comment with a different viewpoint and experience, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. For me, a Doppler has been a great tool and has helped reinforce good thought patterns. Luckily, I've been able to manage my anxiety very well thanks to being able to practice CBT for years and I knew myself well enough to know that it would be beneficial to me. I instead opted for CBD oil and cognitive behavioral therapy because I knew in the future I would want to start a family and not be able to rely on any meds or CBD oil once I got pregnant and for a year after at minimum while breastfeeding. No shade to you, it just wasn't a road I wanted to go down. I personally have been through hell and back with anxiety pre-pregnancy and absolutely refused to go on anxiety medication due to my previous experience of dealing with patients on it as a pharmacy tech. Clearly you knew that you wouldn't benefit from it and OP will know if they would be more like me, or you. I have a Doppler and it's given me peace of mind, you really just have to go into getting one with the right mindset. I know the range my baby's heartbeat lies in, and for anything else I rely on what my doctor says.Įveryone is different, and if not having a Doppler gives you more peace of mind, then that's great for you and I'm happy that has been working out for you. I never have and never would rely on my at home Doppler to diagnose or rule out any cardiac issues. Clearly an at home Doppler isn't as high tech as the one in my doctor's office and I never said I would be able to diagnose if there was something wrong with baby's heartbeat. I'm certainly not an OB and I also never said I was just as knowledgeable as one. I definitely have created a very healthy mindset around the Doppler. It's helped me from spiraling down a hole of anxiety and depression multiple times and saved me from looking like a total lunatic because otherwise I'm certain I would have gone to the hospital in a panic at least 4 times without it. I had anxiety before getting pregnant, and since getting pregnant I cannot take what I used to, so having a Doppler has definitely helped with my anxiety. I was simply inputting part of my experience having gotten one.
