Listening to the heartbeat at home
I looked in my own profile at that little ticker and it says I can now hear the baby's heart with a listening device. DH bought a stethoscope, not a doctor's one but a regular one. Will that work or do they mean a high tech listening device?

You would most likely only hear your own hb with the stethescope. They probably mean a doppler-type device. My dr uses it everytime I have a check-up. She puts it very low, like near my bikini line

We've heard the heartbeat with my DH's stethescope, but only recently (around 30 weeks) and he has a doctor's one b/c he is an EMT.

I think you need a doppler to hear it. When my ticker said that, DH tried to actually put his ear to my belly. The baby kicked him

I think it works at the middle or end of the 2nd trimester, if I remember correctly.

Re: Listening to the heartbeat at home
I used Bebe Sound one with the twins...I think it will work this early but it takes awhile to figure it out...I remember that it doesnt sound like the doppler in the doctors office...but it does work..
