Can I get a private post please.
I’m 10 weeks pregnant with my 7th baby. I’ve had 3 children and 3 miscarriages. My first miscarriage was a missed miscarriage at 12+4. I found out that my baby had died 3 weeks before.
Besides booking private scans every single day which costs a lot of money, I bought a fetal Doppler. I tried it this morning and I couldn’t find the baby. I don’t know if I was looking in the wrong place. I am so scared that I’ve lost my baby again. I have my 12 weeks scan in 2 weeks but I’m not sure I can wait that long. I’m so scared!

A fetal doppler shouldn’t be used before 16 weeks as baby is too small to pick up heartbeat. Even after then it should only be used by a professional. An untrained person could be picking up the placenta. Their own heartbeat. And just because there’s a heartbeat it doesn’t mean all is OK. So please, don’t use the doppler. And if you’re going to anyway, not until 16 weeks.
I was the same as you with miscarriages but I only had 1 child. I bought a home Doppler and would panic every time and I couldn’t find my babies and didn’t till 14 weeks. Please try not to stress out because every pregnancy is different.. I hope everything works out for you. Will you not be scanned earlier because of history or have you have a child in between miscarriages xx
They’re not supposed to be used this early because baby is still really small. They’re trying to ban them for home use altogether because they just cause stress when a heartbeat can’t be found because baby is too small or you’re looking in the wrong place.
Im not sure they work that early. Midwives only start listening past 16 weeks. I wouldnt worry i wouldnt personally use them as they cause unneccasary stress xxx
10 weeks is very very early xx try again later tonight after a bath x midwives dont listen yet as its very hard to find!x
