I am 9.4 weeks pregnant and I bought one
of those home dopplers(bebe) well I
haven't really been able to find the
baby's h/b. Has anyone used this and was
it successful?

Nine weeks is still pretty early to b able
to hear a heartbeat, esp with a bebe...I
heard that they arent very good, b/c they
are too sensitive and pick up to much
excess noise...It even says on there that
a good heartbeat isnt greatley detetected
till like the 26 week with that particular
model....U wont here it reasonably well
till about 12 to 16 weeks at least..Good
luck!

Hey girl, I got one when I was only 9
weeks also, my doc told me I wont be able
to use that and actually hear the
heartbeat till I am 8/9 months. The are
must be bare skined. You have to be in a
very quite room, no noise it pics up
everything. It really was a bad mistake
for me to buy mine, I bought it in the
mall as a final sale and it cost me $30
something dollars and I cant get my money
back for nothing! I seen it at target
the other day for $19 I was like
wwhhaatt!!!!!! $19 and if you want you
can exchange, eeerrrr I was angry!!!
Talk to your doctor and see what they say
about it. Is yours the bebe fetal heart
monitor, I believe that is what mine is
called. Read the packet though, they say
you should record your heartbeat with it
cause when you are preggy the rate is much
higher. Anyways, you can record it and
play it for the baby really soft and the
baby will fall asleep faster. That and
the fact that I will be able to record the
baby's heartbeat oneday is why I am
keeping mine. Good luck with yours.
Lots of love,
heather

Hate It

I used the bebe model when I was 8 and 9
months preggy and I could not find the
heartbeat at all!!!!!! I would sit for
hours in a quiet room and wouldn't hear
anything! I even did it on bare skin and
everything. My doctor told me that he
doesn't recommend using them because it is
very hard to detect heartbeat and it gets
mothers scared! The only tad bit of hb I
could hear was mine! I would try to take
it back if I were you..Honestly your
better off trying to use a stethescop and
they are much cheaper.

That makes me so mad sara. I mean I
bought it as a final sale and I can't take
mine back!!! I did not know you could
use a stethescope, that is cool. I will
be trying that one when I am 8/9 months.
Thanks sara.
Lots of love,
heather

No problem heather! The stethescope
picks up less background noise unlike the
freakin doppler does!

Just go there and click buy/rent... It's
24 dollars a month and shipping is free
and you don't pay to return it either.

Yea, I got it the day before yesterday. I
can't seem to find the baby's heartbeat,
but I have no trouble hearing my own  ! Lol.
But they say that at 12 weeks there is a
95% chance that you will hear the
heartbeat and the chance is 100% after
that. So I will wait a while to try
again, after all I am just 10.3 weeks.
But hey you can hear the placental sounds.
They say that it sounds like the wind
blowing through the trees and that is
exactly what it sounds like. So that was
pretty neat. :d
