Prenatal Heart Listener

My sister came over last Thursday for a surprise visit. We spent our quality time together laying on the couches, eating Thai food, listening for the baby's heart beat through a monitor I bought and watching The Secret Life Of Bees. (The movie was much better than the book by the way!) I have 2 heart beat listeners. A lightly used one that a friend gave me and another one of a different brand - new and in the package. So far neither has worked. My sister did get to hear our child thumping around inside my womb though. With every kick there was a coordinating thump. That was pretty neat.

If I can't hear a heartbeat before the end of the 9 mos I plan on taking back the new heart listener. The lightly used one I have never found a heartbeat either. I'm getting a strong feeling that the heartbeat monitors on the market now are a RIP OFF! Normally I'd feel very jipped but since I'm going to the doctor every 2 weeks now, and I hear the heartbeat each time I go in, I'm fine with not being able to hear it on my $25 monitor.
