Do those fetal heart rate monitors really work??
Thursday, October 25th, 2007hootie asked:
I’ve never used one personally (well except for when they use one at my doctor’s appointments) but I have a friend that would like one and I want to get it for her. Has anyone else had experience with them and what brand? The ones I’m looking at cost about $40. I believe the brand was Angel Sounds or something like that. Any advice would be great! My friend has tried to get pregnant for 3 years now and the first time she did get pregnant she lost the baby around 8 weeks and she’s really nervous she’ll lose this one. I thought it might help her if she could listen to the heart beat whenever she wanted to. I couldn’t imagine losing a child… I would be heart broken so I want to help her out anyway I can but we live in different states. This is the only thing I could think of to help her out besides giving her encouraging words.
Valstupendo: Thanks for the warning. I’ll try to make sure she knows not to get carried away with it. I thought about getting one for myself the first time I was pregnant but I kept putting it off until I could feel the baby move pretty regular so I didn’t see the need to buy one. She’s 14.5 weeks pregnant and she can’t get really excited because she’s so worried she’ll lose this one too. I want her to be excited because it’s a wonderful time!! But I do understand your side of it and I really do thank you for the warning.
