That's not healthy, what if something was wrong.. idk. Maybe their free healthcare has something to do with it. I don't pay for mine, but even then at the er they check immediately. Never been to Ireland or Canada. Just America.. so idk how it's done. Kinda interesting.

im in Canada and its free healthcare, we still get to hear the heartbeat early... like i said it takes seconds to do so i dont think the free healthcare has much to do with it... i dono?

ya i find that weird too that they dont check earlier? it really isnt time consuming, it takes seconds to find and hear... and thats the main perk of going to my Drs appointments... that really *****, i wonder what thats about?   id buy one too if that was the case... you can always sell it after your done so you wont be out of too much money... but search the product first for good reviews as the home ones dont have to be up to the same standards as the hospital ones so some are cheap for a reason...
