A baby heart doppler device uses ultrasound technology that allows expectant parents to hear their baby’s heartbeat, often at as early as ten weeks of gestation (or sometimes even earlier).
There are now several baby heart doppler devices on the market available for over the counter sales, and they are not as expensive as you might think they might be. Still, if you do not have the funds to purchase a baby heart doppler, you should consider renting one instead which is often a much cheaper option (usually costing less than $50 a month).
There are now new baby heart doppler devices that have options to allow you to even burn a CD or MP3 of your baby’s heartbeat while listening to it, creating a record that can be shared with relatives and cherished for years to come.
As the popularity of baby heart doppler devices has increased in the past few years, prices have also dropped substantially. You may find some companies advertising sales of these devices for $500 or more. But if you are looking for more affordable options, you may want to consider some of the much cheaper baby heart monitoring devices such as the Hi Baby Fetal Heart Monitor.
Remember, you should always be sure to comparison shop before making any prenatal heart monitor purchase and also to talk to your physician if you ever have any questions or concerns about what you hear on the device.
