Free Dopplers for High Risk mamas and who have suffered miscarriages etc...

I got this post from ANOTHER mama's website i am on. What is typed after this is what that group owner typed out her herself....

I know this may be a somewhat contaversial subject, and if you go the the following website, it has a lists of pros and cons for using their service. I am not reccomending it one way or the other but came across this today and wanted to share the information with everyone.

http://www.tinyheartbeats.org/

Tiny Heartbeats is a non profit organization for pregnant women. They provide fetal monitors to pregnant women who have previously been through fetal miscarriage, fetal demise, ectopic pregnancy or stillbirths, lost a child to complications from pregnancy, or those women in high risk pregnancies. 

You need to obtain a prescription from your dr to have them send you one, and sign a waiver for it. You also agree to ship it back within 4 weeks of giving birth so they can pass it on to the next women.

They also accept donations so they can remain open.

I thought some women may find this service very helpful, although it can not prevent problems, or alert you to other problems, some women may find it comforting.

 

This is a fabulous idea. Now, if only there were a way to rent an ultrasound machine, lol.
