I have a home fetal doppler. I'm almost 33 weeks pregnant. I check the heart beat once every week to two weeks certainly not every day cause I worry if I check to much It will be dangerous. His heart beat goes from 150's to 180s. Is that normal?

I' m pregnant for 31 weeks. I use a fetal doppler at home. These days my baby' s heart beating always more than 160 and sometimes more than 170 per minute. I wonder if is it normal?

I use a fetal doppler for quick few minutes last two to three weeks to check babies position by locating heart rate. I read it can harm tissues inside but doesn't the fetal heart rate monitor for NST use sound waves like a fetal heart rate doppler?
