Listening to the Baby's Heartbeat

thriftymomma2009

I was thinking about getting one of those at home prenatal baby heart listeners. Is anyone else getting one or does anyone have one? A friend of mine loved hers (she gave it away before I could get my hands on it) and said it worked great. I found it on closeout at https://dealpi.ejoop.com/deal-cat/Baby/7-0-0.html for $19.99 with free shipping and seems to be much cheaper than other places except Amazon, but Amazon doesn't offer free shipping.

Any thoughts?

I've only heard negative things about that one. 

If you want a good one you need to get a doppler.  If you are planning on having more babies you will be able to start listening to their HB around 12 weeks with one.  This is the one I got...it is $50 with free shipping and is a great investment.

those cheapo monitors do not work. I had the BeBe sounds listener and you couldn't hear a thing, the actual real dopplers cost well over $100 and you can rent for $25-$60 a month from some online retailers. I have a doppler that was around $450 a friend borrowed me. Check out about renting an actual one.

i dont know anything about that one, chances are with the price it wont work until later in the pregnancy (as opposed to my hi bebe, where i could pick up the HB at 12 weeks). mine was $99 on ebay with free shipping (also came with gel) and i think it was worth every penny. it gives me peace of mind, and i know it will come in handy later when LO gets so big and isnt moving as much and i can just check on the HB! plus i will use it with all my pregnancies. i say if you are going to get one, get a nicer one!

That sounds like a great price but I haven't tried that brand out myself.  I've seen a youtube video (now removed) of one that looked similar and it got a really bad review. 

This is the one I have ($99) :

I got the angel sounds one form ebay for like $30. It works great and I have been able to hear the heartbeat ever since the 13 week.

I rented one from babybeats for $22 a month.  Works great.

Thanks everyone. What a good idea to rent one!
