BabyBeat HELP Which one?? Tell me what you got

MommaRitz · 11-21-2005, 12:14 PM

Hey girls -
Im gonna ask Santa to rent one this year for me for about 3 months until I feel the baby. Can you tell me which one you rented? They have so many choices? Which one is good, any other suggestions besides the babybeat company.
With my first DS I used cheapie Walmart kind and never heard anything but my belly girggling - so not doing that again.
I want to use a real dopplar.

Any help or advice is welcomed!

I rented just the lowest priced one on babybeat.com....for like $24 a month. It's great and inexpensive. If Santa is feeling generous though...I'd get the one that counts the beats/per minute. It's not hard to count yourself...but it's one less thing to do!

Hope you get your doppler for Christmas!

I rented the digital display one without the recorder.

I wanted to be able to read the bpm instead of having to always count.

I'm happy with my choice. With my previous pregnancy I rented the digital display
with recorder & found I rarely used the recorder part. With my 1st pregnancy
they didn't have any choices it was just 1 standard basic doppler.
Boy have things changed in the last 6 years!

Same here! It worked great. I rented it from 13 weeks to about 19 when I started feeling my baby. I ended up paying only for 1 month. Great investment!

I also got the cheapest one and it is great... I can hear both babies' heartbeats with no problem and counting the rates is a piece of cake. I have actually meant to send it back for 2 months now and keep forgetting (now 27 weeks) but I have actually still used it occassionally when I can only feel one of the babies moving.

I bought the one w/ recorder.

It's the best!!! Very, very clear!! IMO!!

Have fun shopping and congrats!!!!

I have the bottom of the line one, too, and although I LOVE it, I really wish I'd have rented one with the readout.

I had rented the one from baby beats that was $32 a month. It had a recorder but didn't count the beats per min. I think I may rent that one this time.

I rented the one with the recorder but if I had to do it again I'd rent the cheapest one...hardly ever used the recorder and it's easy to count the beats.

Happy Shopping!!

I rented one that has the digital readout - - and then it came with a recorder. I'd say I really like the digital readout but could do without the recorder.
