Recently I had a bit of a scare where I had stroke symptoms and ended up in hospital A& E waiting for 9 hours to be seen without anyone checking the baby was ok. I am now on the look out for a Doppler but heard many don’t actually work, does anyone use or recommend one?

I wouldn’t recommend using a Doppler unless you’re trained to use one.
It’s hard to be sure you’re listening to baby and not the placenta or your own heartbeat and just because a baby has a heartbeat doesn’t mean they’re well sadly.
Dopplers should never be used for reassurance vs seeking actual medical advice as they have potential to do far more harm than good and give false reassurance x
