Get one that is a doppler, not a monitor from the stores. They are basically over glorified amplifiers that won’t pick up a heartbeat until the baby is close to full term. You can rent dopplers form several online companies. I know several women who rented them and swore by them.
My sister gave me one last night that works wonderfully! It’s called Baby Sound and she said she bought it for $ 65 at a medical supply store. She got it when she was pregnant and could hear her baby’s heartbeat at 12 weeks! I am 24 weeks currently and was able to pick up my little girl immediately, so it works VERY well.
Just remember, you get what you pay for. My sister got a good deal on this one, but the $ 40 ones you can get at Wal-Mart DO NOT work very well and can’t get the heartbeat until very late in pregnancy.
