Is an at home doppler or fetal heartbeat monitor worth buying?
I'm 12 weeks with twin and have just heard about at home heartbeat montiors you can buy fairly cheap and listen to your baby's heartbeat at home. Has anyone used these? How effective are they? Am I too early to hear anything?
My doctor told me not to rent one (even if it his hospital grade) because sometimes the baby's heartbeat cannot always be heard - ie: they turn a funny way - which can lead to tons of anxiety. I am resisting the urge and waiting until I can feel flutters.
I'm 11 weeks pregnant.

Heartbeat $14.69 Annie is a runner, and she's never happier than when running barefoot on the grass, listening to the thump-thump, thump-thump of her heart. Running and drawing seem to be her only anchors these days. As her grandfather, a former running champion, declines into senility, a new baby is soon to join her family. At 12, Annie is bewildered by all the changes, and can't even take refuge in her best friend, Max, who has become more competitive and distant. HEARTBEAT is written entirely in verse. Sharon Creech was awarded the 1995 Newbery Medal for WALK TWO MOONS. |
