Mine came in the mail today from Belly Beats!!! It was so awesome...DH is in Mo while I am in Pa, I called him up and we listen to the heartbeat for the first time together!!! It was sooo exciting. Later I found it again and recorded it on my Blackberry and sent it to him. He was very excited and talked about setting it as his ringtone haha?

wordtoyourmother

that is an awesome idea (ring tone).

Also, what mhz is your doppler? I purchased the hi-bebe and it is 2mhz.  Supposedly it wont let me hear the heartbeat until 12 weeks.  

In early pregnancy (less than 12 weeks) you need the 3mhz.  I'm so jealous you found the h/b already!

It's a3mhz....My first dr apt was at 10 weeks and they couldn't find the heartbeatwith their doppler. It was so disappointing, but she did and u/s instead so howcould I complain.

yeah I've seen the h/b via U/S only.  Sometimes on the hi-bebe doppler i'll get a reading of 234bpm which lets me know it's registering two heartbeats or it'll flash 165bpm for a couple of seconds.

I haven't heard the heartbeat yet.  I'm still kicking myself for getting the 2mhz doppler.  The 3mhz you can use from early pregnancy and onwards.  I have to wait until 12 weeks :-/

You're almost there I wouldn't have known what to get if it wasn't for my sister telling me. It will be sooooo exciting the day you find it. If I was waiting for 12 weeks to hear the heartbeat I would probably still try everyday until then haha

I found baby's heartbeat almost every day starting at 11 weeks with my Hi Bebe doppler - so you can try again in a few days and maybe it'll work! Sometimes it can take a little longer but if you're patient, you can find it!
