Any one used these sort of fetal heart monitors before? dont really want to pay to much for a doppler, plus i could get this on my way home from work tonight, still probably a bit early for me to hear baby on but can wait, its says you can pick up sounds from 21 weeks.... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I bought one and haven't heard anything yet. But like you, I'm still early on - 2 days shy of 19 weeks. I guess I'm just plain old excited. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I bought this one in Smyths for £15 it states on it that you probably wont be able to hear heart beat til 21 weeks but i found it at 9 weeks. Can sometimes be difficult to find but always do in the end lol. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I got one from amazon that you can hear the baby from 10-12 weeks which is true as we could hear it  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Angelsounds-...2234869&sr=1-1 |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I love my doppler & would not be without it...I know my SIL bought one from Argos (not sure what one) & couldnt hear anything until 32 weeks by then the baby was moving so much she didnt bother with it!! I know dopplers are pricey but I say worth every penny I love lying listening to HB & I can hear it moving & kicking now!! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have one and I still can't hear anything with it now, they are crap and a waste of money, luckily I have a doppler aswell which is fantastic and worth the money |
