Im looking for some earlier listeners if possible?
Also when could your dr hear it?
Answer
A doctor uses a doppler, they can usually pick the heart beat up around 10 weeks.
The bebe monitor (the cheap $20 one) usually takes a lot longer to pick up the heart beat, like at least 20 weeks and sometimes you can never pick up the heart beat using it. It is not a doppler, but almost like a microphone device.
Also, if you are overweight you may not hear a heart beat with the cheap bebe monitor. I am 17 weeks and still can't hear anything and I am thin.
I bought the hi bebe doppler monitor instead, it's like what doctors use and you can hear the heart beat around 10 weeks. If you use it your entire pregnancy, or for two pregnancies, then it is cheaper to buy it then to rent it.
The cheapest I found it was online here, it was cheaper than ebay: http://www.ababyoutlets.com/hi_bebe_fetal_doppler_bt200.htm
Good luck!

babys heartbeat...??

Answer
Depends on how far along you are. According to a number of medical websites, the back of a stethoscope will pick up the baby's heartbeat after you hit about 20 weeks.
However, you should be at the doctor's office once a month if you're pregnant. There are a number of other things that they have to check, like the amniotic fluid levels and your RH factor and later on, the baby's position. They have to screen you for gestational diabetes, and make sure you don't have any infections. They have to monitor your blood pressure. They have to check to make sure the placenta is where it should be and healthy. They have to check the umbilical cord. They have to check your blood to see if you're at high risk for Down's Syndrome and a number of other birth defects. They have to look at the baby's spinal column for spinal bifida and a number of other defects. You can not do all of the things that need done in order to make sure your baby is healthy! There is literally no way for you to take care of yourself the way that you need to without a doctor's help.
That said, there is a website (they want you to have a doctor's signed permission), where you can rent a fetal doppler. My husband and I rent one for $25/mo. It's called storkradio.com and IF you're doing all of the things you need to be, it can be very reassuring if you aren't sure how the baby's doing.
