    I'm not getting one because i'm nervous enough as it is being PGAL, but Amazon has some perfectly suitable ones for SALE for $50-$100. I def. wouldn't spend that much to rent one, especially if this isn't your last baby.

  • I'm definitely considering it but I'm not sure I should because I know I'll just be even more of a nervous wreck with one!  lol

  • I have one from when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. It looks just like the one at the doctors office. I rented until I bought, so I have one for keeps. I am excited to use it again!

    I just need to find it...I have seen it somewhere around my house.

  • I think its a cool idea but I'm also PGAL so it would make me super nervous if I didn't hear a heartbeat right away. You can always wait until later in your pregnancy and get a stethoscope for $20 and listen that way.  I did that with my DS and it worked great!

  • I bought the angelsounds one on amazon for my last pregnancy and loved it. It helped keep me sane in-between appts, but as I learned through that pregnancy, a strong hb isn't always assurance everything is fine. That being said, I definitely plan to use it again this time starting around 9-10 weeks (when I heard it last time)

    I have one that I used with DS.  I don't remember the brand but I just did a google search to find it.  I paid about $100.  Listening to him was part of our nightly ritual.  DH and I both loved it.  I was able to hear him starting about 10 weeks.  I will def use it again and I feel it was well worth the money.

    Why wouldn't you rent one when buying is MUCH cheaper?

  • I just bought one off e-bay for $60.00.  I have heard good things about the sonoline B Fetal Heartrate Monitor.  Check it out.  I figured for $60.00 I could use it or sell it or give it to a friend later on and still be ahead of what it would be if I rented every month.
