Heartbeat monitor - is it worth getting & if so which one?

Morning,
It's my own fault....I've just watched ER series 10 when the baby dies in the womb and now would feel much better if I had some evidence that bean was still okay between scans.
Does anyone have a heartbeat monitor? If so, would you recommend it & which brand? I'm not sure whether it will reassure me when I can hear something or drive me to distraction if I can't....
As you can guess it's my first pregnancy. I'm 19 weeks (3 days) and very occasionally feel twinges that may or may not be bean, but need reassurance.
All advice gratefully received!
xx

here here Nelif, I use my doppler regularly and have for 7/8 weeks, i have never struggled to hear anything and dont even count the amount of beats i just listen to the noise - its just nice!!!!

I would not stop seeing my midwife and have kept to all my antenatal appts and would consult a professional if i had any problems or doubts - but as far as im concerned it is the best £25 i ever spent!!!!

tbh, carmen, if it hasn't actually changed anything or harmed any babies, as you seem to be saying, i really can't see the problem...

and why are you shocked that people want to check they've got a live baby in there? i'm shocked that you're shocked...
