BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

has anyone tried one of these?

okay so i'm a little paranoid b/c of a past MC that i had and i go crazy that something may be wrong in b/t my dr appointments. i wanted to pick 1 of these up to hear the heartbeat on my own but i heard that they dont work

(i'm about 16 weeks and still going crazy)

Yes, I borrowed it from my SIL and quite honestly have never found the heartbeat. I'm 41 weeks now and still can't hear it. I find that you hear alot of feedback and the smallest other noises. I'd try to borrow one to see if you like it/can use it before investing.

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

thanks - i guess i'll just save the $. i have not heard one good review on them so they most likely dont work for anyone!

thanks again.

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I never really looked into them, but can you rent a "good" one like they use in the OB's office?

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I have one that a friend gave to us - I haven't tried it yet, but she said that she was never able to hear it for her daughter and same thing with my other friend. So who knows if it actually works! I wouldn't let that get you nervous.

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

my luck i'll buy it and it wont work and then i will be freaking out that i dont hear anything - so maybe its not a good idea

thanks!

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I haven't really heard good things about the bebesounds, but I rented a doppler from Heartones.com and it was wonderful! I listened to Christopher's heartbeat every single day. I'm not renting one this time around though, because I'm not nearly as paranoid.

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I heard this one is terrible and doesnt work. You're better off renting one (just like the one your OB uses) they work REALLY well. From 9 wks on I could hear my baby's HB any time I wanted to and it was the best piece of mind ever!

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

thanks guys - i just ordered off of heartones - it comes tomorrow - i'm excited - i think i will be much less crazy having it!!

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I bought the cr@ppy machine u r referring to and cant hear a thing. In fact inside it says...NON-REFUNDABLE which means they know its garbage!

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I ordered off heartones too! It was so much fun to use, but I sent it back once the kicks became constant.

Have fun!

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

i got it for 3 months - i'm hoping by then the baby will be kicking up a storm and i will feel a little better and not want to hear it 24 hours a day - lol. if anything i will extend it after that. it was $57 for the three months and i picked overnight deliver so it came to $72 total

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

honestly, I only had it one month. I would do it month by month and see how much you use it.


ETA 3 months is ok, but I wouldnt do more than that.

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I have one, its worthless. You can't hear anything with it.

Re: BebeSounds Penatal Heart Listener

I rented mine for 4 months I think, starting around 10 weeks PG. But in retrospect that was one month too many. I honestly did not use it nearly as much once I hit that 4th month.. so 3 months is MORE than enough..

Once I started feeling the baby moving/kicking, I stopped using the doppler for the most part..

You are going to love it
