Hey everyone. I bought one of those ''bebe ultrasound" things where u can hear the baby in your belly at home. .You put headphones on and put the other part on the belly. Ive heard it really works. I can definitly hear my own heartbeat etc and I moved it around and I can tell a diffference between the left and right side of my stomach. I think the baby is on the right side right now because I could hear other sounds and on the left I could just hear my own heartbeat. But I am going in the basement where its quiet to do it right now then go to sleep so I hope I hear something! It says it might be a bit soon to hear the heart but I could hear other sounds the baby makes! Yay! Im excited~ i'll let u know. (im 19 weeks today)

I used one of those bebe heart things...It didn't work. It was the biggest waste of money ever!! I found that a stethescope works better. The bebe monitor picks up too much background noise. And I couldn't even find a heartbeat at 9 months!! I have heard your not supposed to use one until your like 8 months because they are so hard to use. Also, my doctor said they arn't recommended because mothers usually can't find the heartbeat and get scared for nothing. Good luck..Hope it works for you.

Yea I found that I could hear everything around me. It sucked. I did notice tho that one side of my stomach did sound different, one side had some noises sometimes. .So maybe it was the baby but I couldnt be sure. I will try again when im further along.
