I know!! The prices are outragous. I don’t understand why you need a doctor’s consent to listen to your childs heartbeat either.

because anything that becomes a craze always increases the price.

I’m currently renting one from hearbeatathome.com. I got a special $38 for 2 months. I think it’s back to the regular $48 for 2 months now. I’m so happy with it though. I listen to the heartbeat every morning and have since I was 10 weeks along. When I return it at 16 weeks I’ll be feeling the baby move by then, or soon after.

Supply and demand. More women are renting them so they figure that they will make more money, and also with more women renting them, they have to make more, and pay the employees to make them. It’s all a huge circle. I have told women to save the money and not buy or rent these machines because if they are not used right it causes stress when they cannot find the baby’s heart beat.
