    Sonoline B. Order it from fetaldoppler.net. Free shipping and fast (at least it was when I ordered mine). Best $50 I ever spent.
    The one advertised for $36.95? (I'm sure the prices have changed, just want to make sure I get the one you got)

    Lurking from May 16- I have the womb music monitor and I LOVE it. I'm 23 weeks along, I've been using it once a day for the last 10 weeks and it's never taken me longer than maybe 20 seconds to find the baby's HB

    @Tnallen107 I bought one after my OB was able to find the HB with a doppler. It came in when I was 10w2d and I'm currently 10w5d. I haven't been able to hear the heartbeat yet. I've only heard my own and what I believe is the placenta. The doppler part is pretty wide and it's not very easy to angle it from side to side. So, I'd imagine others like the sonoline would be easier to detect the heartbeat early on. But, I've also heard great reviews and it's possible I'm just not very good at using it. After watching several youtube videos last night (I'd recommend doing this before trying to find the heartbeat), I'm kinda wishing I bought the sonoline.

    @riveridgional
    Bummer! I will be a little over 11 weeks when I need to use it. Maaaybe, I'll be able to find it. I bought it to bring with me to see my parents (they live in Ohio, myself in Texas). So I really hope we are able to work it out.

    @Tnallen107 I really hope it works for you too! I couldn't find it again last night even after watching all the youtube videos I could find for detecting it earlier on. At first, I wasn't worried at all, but now that I still can't find it, I really am starting to worry something is wrong. I know that's dumb and it's all out of my control regardless, but I think I'm just putting it away for another week. Not being able to find the heartbeat was my deciding factor in signing up for NT screening. Otherwise, I'd have to wait until the monitor picks it up or Feb 11 (when I'll be 14w5d) for my OB to find it to get reassurance.

    Sonoline B here too.  I got mine around 9+5 and found the heartbeat in about 4 min...although we couldn't get it for a long period to get the rate.  By 10+5 I could find it within 30 sec and we could hold it steady for a long time.  It had made such a difference in my sanity.  My doc actually suggested I get one after having a loss.  I have used it twice a week since I got it.
