Now I know that these are for entertainment purposes only, but they werent around back in the day and I didnt get to hear either of the Dcs heartbeats till 36 weeks! Ive just ordered this heart beat monitor on groupon for a 72% discount! Im so looking forward to playing with it! Grin
And as an added bonus, I'm going to try it out on our PG ponies as well! Grin

Are you very far along? I don't want to burst your bubble (honest!) but my cousin and her partner got one of these and it really wasn't successful sadly. It's not a doppler - basically just like a stethoscope?

I hope its great and works but don't be too worried if you don't hear much if you're still quite early on. Smile

I have found the egg shaped ones with headphones are utterly crap! All brands! (Bought about 8 different expensive types)
Have ordered a Doppler from amazon that has fantastic reviews, even from a midwife, so do look for better reviews as opposed to cheaper prices :)
Btw the one I've ordered wasn't that deer, £35

Ps, just noticed the model you have got, I've actually used this one, right up untill 38 weeks, all I heard was static, sorry x

I have the angel sounds doppler, which is v chea on amazon. I bought it second hand from a classified site for a tenner. I eats the heartbeat at 9-10 weeks. However, I've since looked up the potential risks of ultra sound and how it may distress the baby so probably won't use it again (or sparingly at least) just a word of warning.

Be careful it doesn't send your anxiety sky high if you don't find anything! I deliberately didn't get one because i know what I'm like...

Me again :) just to let you know the one I or from amazon is fantastic, got delivered thismorning (wasn't expectin till Monday) tried it out straight away an found baby no problem! By far the best one I've ever used! I dunno how to link stuff but if u search feral Doppler on amazon, it's the one sold by maternity matters for £35 xx
