I got the angelsounds one on ebay and it arrived today. Found baby's heartbeat in a few minutes, it was fantastic

I had bought the Summer branded one in Mothercare initially but it says INSIDE the packaging

that it's not suitable for use until 21 weeks so I brought it back and got a refund.

I used angelsounds as well and got it on ebay for fairly cheap. It worked brilliantly.
One thing I'd reccommend: if you're getting one, don't fall for these "must have" gels as they're a waste of your money. baby oil (or any oil for that matter) does the same job.

I'm 17 weeks and found heartbeat with no major problem, bit of perserverance and moving around needed.
Packaging says angelsounds can be used from 14 weeks. If you order on ebay you will prob be over 15 weeks by the time it arrives anyway.

I'd say you can. Just go very very low and you should find it.

We got angelsounds aswell on ebay!
You should be able to hear it at 15 weeks

I got it at 9 weeks and i loved listening to its little heartbeat clear as day...until the nurse told me that i was actually listening to my own for weeks

Yours will be much slower than your babys...babs is like galloping horses!

I got mine from Ana Wiz.com
Pricey but the same one as the GP uses. Really easy to pick up the heartbeat and a great reassurance.
I'd strongly recommend it.
