How often can you listen to a babys heartbeat (while pregnant) without causing harm?

I bought one of those "baby heartbeat monitor"s (like the doctors have) and we asked the doctor if it would do any harm to the baby or my daughter and he said no. But we just got it today and already, we have listened to the heartbeat like 4 times for various family members. Is that too much?


Answer
nope, it shouldnt hurt the baby at all, so listen your little heart out ! it wont hurt you or baby. its awesome to hear the little heartbeat and know that theres a little one inside of you <3<3

Best way to monitor the babies heartbeat?

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.
