I got the bebe Heart doppler.

sdfasdf
no
There are some you can get at Babies R Us, but I’ve read some reviews on them and apparently they don’t work very well.
I would not buy one, it is a waste of money. I bought an expensive one, and you cannot hear anything…I tried with both of my babies and a couple of my friends babies. You have to be in a completely silent room, and all you can hear is the baby kicking the microphone part.
I got something like that at Babies R Us. I got it for fun and listened to her everyday. I don’t know what kinds their are but mine was by Bebe Sounds. Enjoy
With my first pregnancy, I rented a doppler that also had a reading of the heartbeat. Here’s a link: http://www.storkradio.com/
It worked well and the heartbeat was very easy to find. Given that you are 30 weeks, you should have absolutely no problem locating the heart beat. I signed up online and they mailed me the doppler within a few days.
Congrats on your baby!
I got one at around 10 weeks but could only hear the baby moving around but now I am 14 weeks and I like it but they are not always reliable. Some days I can hear the heartbeat for about 10 mins but then some days I can’t hear the heartbeat at all just movement. I still like it though but I just rented mine. What is the point in having one if your not pregnant.
I am renting one now from babybeat. They work GREAT! It is costing me $49 per month and it has a recording button on it also so when you find the heartbeat you can record it.
It tells you what the heartrate is also. You can also have a CD made of the last heartbeat that you took before you send it back and they will make you a CD. It is the best there is (other than the doctors) and I have been hearing the heartbeat now since 11 weeks and I am 17 weeks this Thursday.
Good luck!

No they dont work good at all its a waste of money…
The one my doctor uses is good. She makes me listen to the baby’s heartbeat every time I go there for a visit. Don’t worry too much, I’m sure everything’s fine. Congrats and good luck!
I borrowed my friends n couldn’t hear a heartbeat i think i was looking for the wrong thing. I could hear my baby kicking constantly thou. i wouldn’t recommend them they made me worry more..
