I am 26 1/2 weeks and I just bought one of those fetal monitors. I can barely hear my baby's heartbeat. When I ordered mine I was told that these monitors work best in your late second trimester and third trimester. they are pretty neat, but you have to have a lot of patience too. You need to sit in a very quiet room because these things amply the sound of everything. I do like mine though.
