What is the point of the at-home listeners, like BebeSounds Prenatal Heart Listener?

Answer by  Ali41 (1593)

Some people like the reassurance to hear their unborn baby's heartbeat, which is a sign that the baby is indeed alive. For others, however, this is just another thing to obsess over. Your OB will use a similar, but more sophisticated tool in his/her office, so you do not need one of these products.

The point is to be able to hear the baby move around. When you get further along in your pregnancy you can actually list to the babies heart beat. To some women who have babies that dont like to move alot they come in handy.

If a woman is very worried about her baby dying, it may be helpful to have a device at home to help her hear her baby. Stress is not good for the baby, so the peace of mind offered with one of these devices is priceless.
