Daily Doppler use

Hello Mums,
Im currently 24+6 pregnant and I got myself a Doppler very early in my pregnancy (9-10weeks). I was able to find the heart beat easily & could distinguish between it & other sounds.
I used it DAILY for a couple /few minutes until a few weeks ago (I have since used it a few times only plus midwife check ups), meaning bubs has had well over 800mins exposure to the Doppler :(
I’m only just now reading about the potential harm due to heating of foetal tissue & possible implications for brain development etc.
I’m wanting to hear from other mummas who used a Doppler DAILY in their pregnancy please. 
Have there been any developmental implications? Or any kind of damage to your baby/child as a result of this exposure?

I am so grateful to hear from you.

Thank you
