Renting a Fetal Doppler?

I’ve been considering renting a fetal doppler to have when my baby isn’t moving as much just to be sure everything is okay. Sometimes he goes quite a while without moving and it really gets me worried and since this is an everyday thing I stay stressed out. Can anyone suggest a good place to rent one from and if they actually work? I don’t want to rent one if it is not actually going to be helpful, so advice please =)

Yes!!! Belly Beats (bellybeats.com) They are sooo awesome, fast, nice, just really great. I’m 39 weeks now but I rented one when I was about 7 weeks or so, after having several miscarriages it was such peace of mind. I kept it until I started feeling regular movement & then I sent it back. I definitely think it’s worth it. It made me feel a lot better knowing my baby was fine, I was able to let friends & family hear it, & it was just neat to listen sometimes just for fun. Also you can hear the baby moving & kicking which was neat since I couldn’t feel it yet. You can get a digital one or one where you have to count yourself. I just got the one you can count your self cause it’s cheaper & it’s not that hard. You just count how many beats within 15 seconds & then multiply by 4 & that’s the beats per minute.
It’s $25 per month & comes with a tube of the jelly stuff. I had a coupon code for $5 off per month so I only paid $20. I’m gonna try to find it & I’ll let you know. But it really was awesome & so worth it & they have the best, nicest customer service!
Ok I found it, it’s the word "CELEB". When I ordered I couldn’t find a place to put the coupon code in so I just put a note on my order or emailed them or something & said "I have a coupon code CELEB for $5 off my monthly rental but I can’t figure out where to enter it." & she emailed me & said she fixed it & they refunded me the $5 & then only charged me $20 a month. Hope I helped!! Feel free to email me if you have any questions about it!
