Price: $19.99-39.99Shortly after finding out we were pregnant, Kevin and I made a couple trips to Babies R Us, just to try to figure out where to begin. During one of our first trips we found this item - its a little hand-held device that has a microphone on it, that comes with 2 sets of headphones. You press the microphone up to your belly and move it around - with practice and patience you will eventually hear the baby. At least that's what they tell ya. Kevin and I heard a whole bunch of noises, but none were the baby. For a while we actually thought we heard the baby swishing around in my belly, but were disappointed to hear the same exact noises when we put the microphone on Kevin's tummy.
Pros:
-you can buy the Heart Listener with just 1 set of headphones, 2 sets, or 2 sets and a audio recorder - depending on how much you want to spend
-you actually do hear a lot of noise
-includes a pamphlet that walks you through the process (from how you should lay, to the best time of day, to the different noises you could hear)
Cons:
-it does not work (not for us, at least)
It requires one 9v battery, but I can't honestly remember if the battery was included or not.
Recommend: NO. Just wait for your doctor to do the doppler on you. Or spend the money to purchase your own doppler. Ebay is rumored to be the place to go for them - i believe they are in the $100 ballpark.
