How good are these? fetal monitors?
Posted by admin
Christian’s Mommy & an Angel asked:
Has anyone had any good experience with those fetal heart monitors? We were thinking of getting one because my son wants to hear the heart beat and it’s not so easy to take him to the doctors office with me (I hate pulling him out of school early). They have them at walmart they are like 20.00, I figured I would do a little research on them and it’s not like I can’t return it if it’s no good. I think I read on them that they can pick up in the 3rd trimester which I am at (30 weeks). So just wondering are they worth it?
Couldn’t find it on walmart.com here’s another link

My sons heartbeat on it like once or twice and we could only find my sons heartbeat on it like once or twice and we did and it was soooo faint that.

Honestly i don’t think so. It’s really hard to detect the heartbeat with the machine. I bought one from babys r us and its very faint.

That thing is a piece of JUNK! I’ve heard her a few times but its mostly static!

I had this exact one, I got it as a “Congrats!” gift from my SIL and it never worked. I was 38 weeks and still no sound of a heartbeat.
