She had had 7 or 8 miscarriages, and a stillborn, and this was going to be her 2nd living child, so she rented it for peace of mind. She could listen to his heartbeat when ever she wanted to and it made her feel better! I haven't ever experienced a loss, but I have thought about renting one as well, b/c it's just nice to be able to hear that little "galloping horse"! I had bought one of the bebe sounds when I was expecting my 1st child, and I would not reccommend one of those, they do not work! Congrats to you!

agonzales - 101 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I bought mine on ebay for $115. I bought it cause I had a m/c before and almost had one in the beginning with this one too. Thank god everything turned out okay. The one I bought was bistos hi-bebe in case you want to look it up. It works really well.

mommy-of-3 - 101 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would say if you are really worried about your baby's well-being then the peace of mind this will bring you is well worth the money spent. I have talked to some people who have purchased these and from what I hear they're great. One thing to keep in mind is that they are all different, some only work once you get to a certain week so just double check and make sure you know all of the specs of the one you plan to purchase.

prittigrl01 - 101 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Um, I have heard that these arn't good for the babies. To use it all the time is not the best for them. I would research them.

caitlin h - 101 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I rented one at bellybeats.com and it worked great for me! Definitely worth it for the peace of mind- I would listen to the heartbeat every night before bed so that I wouldn't have bad dreams that the baby was dead or something! Sounds paranoid, but anything is normal when you are pregnant!
