Have you rented a Doppler?
Or purchased one? If so, which brand and did you like it?

ink.net... Or purchased one? If so, which brand and did you like it? ~Carol Ann No, I would never buy or rent one. Imo, they are pretty useless (there is only a small time frame that one could be used), pretty much a waste of money, not proven safe for the babies in utero and may cause undo stress if the heartbeat cannot be found if the placenta is in the way or baby is far away.

I also thought about and decided that during the time I would most be comforted by it (first trimester), it wouldn't work anyways. By the time he got large enough to reliably hear (I'm rather fluffy), I was feeling movement and kicks anyways. And come to find out, I'm glad I decided against it. Ian *hates* dopplers and ultrasounds! He has always squirmed away from them at the doctor's office and kicked at them. I wouldn't want to put that stress on him just for my own comfort. If you get one, I've heard to rent them, as the ones they sell in the retail stores don't work well at all. - Joanne #1 - 37w4d |

I rented the Baby Beat (www.babybeat.com) and I loved it. It was not *that*
expensive for my peace of mind, and I returned it once I started feeling my baby move (around 14-16ish weeks). I did not know there was any danger in it, but have since learned that there could be (I was in pre-term labor at 25 wks, but went full-term in the end to deliver a healthy baby, so perhaps it contributed?).
