baby monitor heartbeat image
Mommy 2 B
I was wondering what the best tool is to use to monitor the babies heartbeat? I have a stethoscope and I can't really hear anything? I am 16 weeks pregnant. Also looking to see whats the least expensive.
Answer
The best thing and the only thing at this point in your pregnancy is a Doppler. They can get expensive to rent. Mine was about 40 a month and about 600 to purchase. I rented one for the month and it was the most amazing thing ever. I rented it from http://www.babybeat.com/ I will rent it again for my next baby. I was able to hear my sons heart beat at 15 weeks and could also hear my placenta. It also had a record feature. Its the same Doppler that they use in your OBs office.

Stethoscope won't work till you are around 30 weeks or so. The same with the dopplers that you can purschase in the store. They won't work till you are about 32 weeks and with some people they don't work at all.

How do they monitor the babies heartbeat at 11 weeks pregnant?
Lin*z
I am about 7 weeks pregnant at the moment, and I have an appointment next month to hear the heartbeat (when I'm about 11 weeks along)
How do they monitor the heartbeat this early? Will they use an ultrasound? And if so, Will I be able to see the baby as well? I know there is another type of machine to listen to it, but I don't know what that one's called. What did your doctor use for you this early on?
Just curious...This is my first child so I have a million questions. haha
Answer
They will probably try to get it on the doppler but if they can't they could do an ultrasound.I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks with my daughter and got to see the heart beat and then at 12 weeks I got to hear it.With my son they just did a doppler at 12 weeks.
