   the dopplers you usually have to buy online and can be expensive. I got one on ebay, the same one my doc uses and heard my baby’s heartbeat since 12 weeks when I got it.
   I heard that the ones you get at babies r us and walmart are a bunch of crap and a waste of money and if they do work it’s not till like 7 months.
   With the actual dopplers you can hear the heartbeat as early as 9 weeks.
   Email me if you want the ebay info where I got mine.
   It was only $95 and included a warranty and shipping. It works great and I love it!

   The dopplers you can buy will tell you when you "should" be able to hear a heartbeat. The key word is "should." Using your own doppler isn’t that easy and many parents "freak out" when they can’t find the heartbeat. I’ve heard that it’s more of a waste of money.
