Can using a home fetal doppler harm my baby and is there a limit of use to be safe i'm 16 weeks preg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely an issue: The past studies of doppler use have shown no negative effects.If repeated studies take up your time and take you away from other productive activities, i would consider it more a negative to your lifestyle than a problem for baby. This pregnancy will pass and there are many more issues to deal with than watching baby float around in the womb.
