mad eric asked:


i have bought one from mothercare but it never shows s heartbeat just a stupid noise and what i can only describe as a bongo sign. My friend gave me there old one the angel one and i hear a heartbeat in my lower abdomen so surely it cant be my own heartbeat but it only goes at about 80 times a minute. Ive just been on it and can hear the heart beat but then it moves so im pretty sure the baby is ok i just wondered if anyone had the same with the heart rate as i know its usually about 120 plus per minute i have my 20 week scan on thursday so will query it then but just wondered what you guys thought
hmm kind of wishing i hadnt asked this question now as im quite concerned i never was before as they say sometimes you cant hear the heart till about 22 weeks and that sometimes you cant hear it at all when you try at home. I appreciate your honest answer though thank you
