Baby Heart Doppler
Baby heart doppler devices use ultrasound to allow expectant parents to hear their baby’s heartbeat, often at as early as ten weeks of gestation. 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 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 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. Many of these devices are very sophisticated, and come with many add ons that you may enjoy (such as the CD burning ability).
But if you are looking for more affordable options, you may want to consider some of these much cheaper baby heart monitoring devices:
The Angelsounds Fetal Doppler device is an affordable baby heart monitor (costing less than $40 new!), that is also well known for its ease of use and reliability. This is the most basic baby heart doppler device produced by angelsounds, and it has many positive reviews on Amazon as well. It is also one of the most popular prenatal heart monitors currently on the market.
The Sonotrax Basic LCD Fetal Doppler Baby Heart Monitor w/ 3MHz Probe is a professional quality baby monitor. It runs at 3Mhz which is the recommended fetal doppler frequency and what many hospitals use, and costs around $150. It also has some excellent reviews backing it up.
Finally, you may want to consider the Babyplus Prenatal Education System. This system takes prenatal bonding to a whole new level. It includes a device similar to a prenatal heart monitor, but which works in reverse by providing stimulating sounds to the womb. The manufacturers claim that infants who have used BabyPlus are born more alert and responsive than those who have not used the BabyPlus system, and that they also nurse better, sleep better, and have improved school readiness later on in life as well. Currently the BabyPlus system is on sale at Amazon for under $150.
