It was hard to find that's for sure. You have to hold the transducer up and down and rock it. don't move it, just change the tilt? that's how I finally found it. AFTER I READ THE DARN instructions ;)
ok, so I found it for my hubby and we counted. It was 150 to the best of our counting. There was a lot going on and we may have been a little off. I am REALLY leaning toward this babyBabies and heat rashes Baby feeding patterns being a boy :) Maybe we'll try again this weekend when there are fewer distractions and see if we get a better count. That little guy is hard to find!
oh man it's making me crazy. I swear it's a boy though. I was just up in the "kids'" bathroom that I've been waiting to decorate until we find out and I'm just going to paint it blue... I mean there is NOTHING inside telling me that this is a girl? I'll feel bad if it is... poor thing, I thought she was a boy!

Personally I wouldn't use it more than once a week or so? That's my gut feeling. I don't think anyone really knows if it can hurt or not, but why take the chance? I just got it so when I'm nervous and still have 2 weeks before my appointment, I can listen. I think It's ok more often later in pregnancy, but early on I wouldn't risk it.
Try and use it for emergencies only, but that's just my opinion. I would never forgive myself if something happened and I was listening every day! I would always think that was why..
Did you rent one? momttc

gonza, I used one of those from wal mart and could only hear when the baby would hit the monitor during his nightly laps. I never heard the heart. The one i have is just like what the doctor uses.
night girls. not knowing the sex of this baby is making me crazy. I wonder why? maybe because i'm so excited to bond... not sure but I REALLY want to know what the heck the sex is. hahah momttc
