at home doppler?

Hey all, I'm 6 weeks 6 days ans I've heard you can usually hear the heartbeat with a Doppler at 9 weeks. I was thinking about renting a Doppler at storkradio.com in a couple of weeks so I could hear the baby from time to time.DH rolled his eyes when I mentioned it, but since its only 20 dollars a month I figured it can't do any harm. Has anyone else thought about doing this?

    I've rented them previously, but this time I just bought one. You can usually find the HB between 8-9 weeks.

    A lot of us have gotten the Sonline B, they can usually be had for around $55 and they work well. 

    Due with #5 April 22, 2015. It's a girl!!!!! 

     Yes it was planned, yes we know what causes that, no we are not on public assistance, and yes we will be getting cable after this. ;)

    I bought the Sonoline B, but I couldn't hear the HB until after 12 weeks.  8-9 weeks is little early for many people.

    I have a sonoline b, but didn't get it until I was 12 weeks with DD.You may not be able to find the hb so soon, I've seen many posts by ladies freaking out b/c they couldn't find a hb before 12 weeks. It takes some practice to get it right.

    You do have to go into it knowing you may have to wait a bit, try again...wait a bit, try again. I found a video today that was VERY helpful in figuring out how to find the HB, I was able to find it a few minutes after watching this when earlier in the morning I'd been searching for nearly an hour on my own.

    This is my 3rd baby that I am able to find the HB between 8-9 weeks with, and I am not a thin person.

    I wouldn't do it if there is any chance you'll freak out about not finding it. Takes a lot of patience.

    We bought the Sonoline B on eBay last pregnancy. I think there is even a newer version out now. We were able to find the heartbeat at 7 weeks this time, but it wasn't easy. It definitely takes practice and knowing what your doing to find it early on. I really enjoy having it and it wasn't that expensive either. I remember on my last BMB a lot of girls got angel care ones and others you can get at BRU and were not happy with them until much later in the pregnancy. If you want earlier readings you have to go with a medical grade one.
