I just purchased the Hi Bebe Doppler from Amazon for $115. Out of 118 reviews, it is rated 4 1/2 stars

I haven’t heard the heartbeat yet, but I’m only at 9 weeks, so it is WAY too early! I am hoping to hear it in another 2 weeks or so.

I asked the same question and didn’t have much luck getting one, although I did get answers.
I did actually have the midwife use one on me not long ago and you really need to know what you’re listening for, it’s not nearly as clear as the one they use with the ultrasound.
They are apparently very expensive for a decent one too.
I don’t know about walmart because I’m in Australia and that shop isn’t over here, but they are available online.

You can simply type in fetal doppler in any search engine and get several sites that sell and rent them. There are big differences in the ones from Wal-Mart and Babies-R-Us and the ones that are used by your OB/GYN. A good doppler unit costs about $500.00 USD. You can rent one for 3 months for about $75.00 USD.

There’s a few of the sites that sell / rent fetal doppler units.
Most sites explain the use, differences, and sensitivity of the different models. Hope this helps.

Don’t buy one of the heartrate tones from babies r us or walmart, they are crap! A lot of woman have said you can’t hear anything till like 6 or 7 months and if you are lucky.

Also, renting a doppler or buying one can be really expensive.

I just bought one from a seller on ebay. It was brand new and came with a warranty. It was $95 and it works really good. I received it in 4 days too! I use it multiple times a day and hear my little ones heartbeat. I am 13.5 weeks preg!

Let me know if you want the seller on ebay.
