hello! i want one! but dh keeps saying it
is a waste of money and it isn't going ot
help the "real" problem. which he says is
me getting over my fears of bad things
happening... but i feel like if i get one
then i can hear the heartbeat whenever i
feel worried and feel better. i will be 10
weeks next week so by the time the machine
comes i should be able to use it. so i was
just wondering if anyone got one and liked
it???

I never got one, but I would have wanted
to. It'll help calm your worries. If you
can afford it and it works, I'd get it.

I bought the .Bebe.Sounds heartbeat thing
when I was pregnant & it was a
complete waste of money, not sure if
that's the kind you're talking about
though...

I looked into the bebe sounds, not a good
idea , people mostly say all they hear is
traffic and such but you can rent an
actual doppler!
check this site out. it's an idea:
http://www.bellybeats.com/
I feel so bad because 3 people have bought
bebe first sounds at my work in the past 2
days and I wanna tell them what I've read
but there is always a manager there. I
feel so dishonest

I had considered it, but then I thought
about it. If I tried to hear the baby's
heartbeat and for some reason the thing
didn't work, or if I couldn't hear it, I
would be a mess with worry.

i know what you mean about what if i
couldn't find it! i was talking about one
of those $145 ones. or maybe renting
one... maybe i will just try and get into
the Dr next week for another u/s... i have
no reason to go though! i am so nervous
because i have m/c before and i have no
pregnancy symptoms! so i have nothing to
go by! the only thing that makes me feel
better short term is seeing/hearing the
HB. well, at least i know that those kind
suck and if i were going to get one i
should at least rent one of those really
good ones. any ideas on how i could get
into the Dr without making something up??
i am a little superstitious and think if i
lie it will actually happen!

i ordered one offline for $130, it worked
good starting aroudn 15 wks and later, it
has a screen too that tells u the
heartbeat as well. the day before i had my
daughter my son threw it on the ground and
broke it though, but the more expensive
onces do work really good, just a matter
if u wanna spend the money on it ,

i don't know.. i want one but i am afraid
of spending the money and it not working
well. i would want it to work as early as
10 weeks! so i guess my only option would
be to rent one if i was going to. thanks!

this one said from 12 weeks on that i had,
but i couldnt find the heartbeat till
later on but it worked really well it
even comes with the ultrasound gel stuff.
It was nice to hear the heartbeat at home
too . i dont think there is one u can buy
that would work at 10 weeks unless uwanna
spend LOTS of money.
