I also thought that it would make me crazy but it did in fact help calm me down. I didn't have much trouble finding her h/b though. I kept it throughout the pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>This time i don't have one yet, but i have lately been thinking of possibly renting one for these last few months....katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536809590856333391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10899728.post-41885114758290962742007-03-18T18:35:00.000-07:002007-03-18T18:35:00.000-07:00I rented one when I got pregnant with Cooper.

I found it very reassuring to have as I had bleeding at 13.5 weeks and was still able to find a heartbeat without any problems. I ended up returning it to babybeat once I was able to feel Cooper move on a regular basis. My older son, Nicholas, enjoyed being able to hear his little brother moving around.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852865951381934401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10899728.post-57773735590324879592007-03-17T20:49:00.000-07:002007-03-17T20:49:00.000-07:00I forgot to add that we ended up buying the Dopple...I forgot to add that we ended up buying the Doppler, and I 'gave' it away to a friend of my husband's sister. And I have never heard anything since. No thank you. No nothing. And yes, she knew all that we had been through. I have decided that some people can be assholes.formerteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174688455833231110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10899728.post-47374034488331450002007-03-17T20:47:00.000-07:002007-03-17T20:47:00.000-07:00My husband and I ended up getting a Doppler, and I...My husband and I ended up getting a Doppler, and I did feel better.formerteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174688455833231110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10899728.post-46071974958337851122007-03-17T18:35:00.000-07:002007-03-17T18:35:00.000-07:00I used mine twice a day.

That didn't go over too well.<BR/><BR/>So obviously, I'm completely the wrong person to ask. But many people, so I've heard, find dopplers very reassuring.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10899728.post-64219492080659510532007-03-17T13:50:00.000-07:002007-03-17T13:50:00.000-07:00I thought it would make me nuts, until I "graduate...I thought it would make me nuts, until I "graduated" from the RE to regular OB care, and hence no regular u/s. Talk about withdrawal!! I don't use it much (twice/week) but it definitely calms my fears in those moments of craziness. I got it for 6 months from www.heartones.com, and I can send it back early if I want to for money back. Hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>Suzanne<BR/>16w5d from donor embryo<BR/>http://suzzcq70.blogspot.com/suzzcq70https://www.blogger.com/profile/01703134888407495509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10899728.post-85873906614725501362007-03-17T07:38:00.000-07:002007-03-17T07:38:00.000-07:00I didn't get one, but it was mostly out of lazines...I didn't get one, but it was mostly out of laziness. Maybe you could try it, and if it makes you nuts, you could just have your hubby hide it.<BR/><BR/>My OB was great about impromptu appointments so I just had several u/s and doppler visits when I got stressed.Kathy McChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03173765251704625998noreply@blogger.com
