I rented one when I was around 15 weeks or so. The best 50 bucks that I ever spent. I got it as a fathers day gift for my husband. Ours had a recording feature so we have my sons heart beat on our computer. It also picked up the sounds of the placenta. It was amazing.

Usually you can’t hear the heart beat till about 12 weeks or so. So don’t freak out if you can’t find it. You might get lucky though and it will pick it up. Good Luck and have fun with it.

Heartbeats usually get picked up around 12 weeks, but that is with a dr doing it, so if you don’t get one till a little further, don’t worry!

I was 13 weeks before i heard baby heartbeat. If you listen in the centre of your tummy really low down on your hair line, that is where you will hear baby. Congrats

I used one with both pregnancies. With my first I heard it at 10 weeks. With the second, at 9w1d. Use lots of gel, take your time and listen very low. It’s easier when you are laying flat and have a full bladder, in my opinion. Don’t stress if you can’t find it right off. It’s early and baby can be hiding anywhere!
