Hmmm I have a week to go before my next ultrasound at 9weeks. I haven’t even considered getting a home fetal Doppler. I wonder if I should get one or if that would bring me more anxiety if I can’t quite find it

thanks for the info! And yes, I think I’ll hold off. It will definitely give me more anxiety than I need. I use ultrasounds all the time at work (I’m an ICU nurse practitioner) but it’s totally different using it on a patient than on yourself. I don’t doubt myself using it on patients - I will for sure doubt myself using it on myself.
Thanks for responding!

I really want to get one, but I’m worried it will give me anxiety if I can’t find it!
