Has Anyone Ever Tried a Portable Fetal Heart Monitor?

Hi I.,
Congratulations on your pregnancy. I had also had a couple miscarriages before my first one was born. I went through Stork Radio. You can buy or rent. I rented and the doppler was brand new. It came with gel. Never had a problem and if you do, you just call and they'll replace it. I sent it back after I was almost ready to deliver. The whole process was painless.

The doppler is a good thing because it can give you peace of mind but it's a bad thing if you can't find the heartbeat and you freak out. When all that happened was that the baby moved. I used it less once I could feel the baby moving.

Good luck and try and enjoy your pregnancy.

Hi I.,
I also had 2 miscarriages, and fortunately one healthy son. I rented a fetal heart monitor from babybeat.com. They had excellent service; I just rented one from them again. I love having the monitor at home for peace of mind. I rented one of their cheaper models - I don't think you need the recording option or digital display. Best wishes.

A friend of mine who lost 3 babies bought her last dopler at Toys R Us, it was under $50 and it worked fine. however there were a few times she could not hear anything and she rushed to the hospital, only to learn that the baby was positioned in an awkward way.

Hope this helps.
