best baby heart monitor buy image
alex
I am 17 and a half weeks pregnant and I bought the summer brand fetal heart monitor at babies r us today. I tried to use it and heard mostly loud, annoying static and once I got it to quiet down while pressed against my belly i still couldn't hear much of anything. I am just wondering if anyone else has used this product successfully. I know I am still about 8 weeks early for when they suggest to start using it for best results but I am sort of curious about if it will even work then.
Answer
Personally, I think they're all crap :(
I haven't had any luck with the ones you can buy at BRU or other stores. At 17.5 weeks, you should be able to pick up a HB with a doppler.
You would've been better off renting one of the good ones from one from the rental websites.
Can you return the ones from BRU?

When is it the best time to buy a baby heart monitor?

I am 5 in a half weeks a long and I have been told you can hear a baby's heartbeat at 6 weeks along. But some say it's very faint. When is the best time to buy one?
Answer
It can be very hard to hear so early. I am at 13 weeks and just a couple of wks ago (so like 11 wks along) I was at my midwives and we still couldnt hear the HB. But I had heard it back in mid dec when I had my first ultrasound. Next time I go in (end of this month) we should FINALLY be able to hear it with the doppler. So dont get to bummed or frustrated if you cant hear it yet with the use of a doppler (normal way to hear it) I wouldnt buy any monitor yet. And talk to your dr, they can offer some advice in that area. My midwife says that its best to get one of the home dopplers or use a stethoscope for listening but not anything that creates sound waves like an ultrasound because too much use can be harmful to the baby, which some of those monitors use. I have a stethoscope from work but I dont figure ill be able to hear with that for a few more weeks or even longer. But I will def be doing something about hearing the heartbeat at home so I can keep track of the baby daily...or HOURLY lol! ;)
