Purpose Stethoscope

Stethoscopes to hear baby's heartbeat?
This will be my last pregnancy, and I kind of thought it might be neat to be able to hear the baby's heartbeat at home. i wont get the opportunity to do this again, so i was thinking about purchasing a stethoscope.
I saw some on ebay. What is the difference between the dual head and the regular one? Will a cheap one work just as well as a more expensive one for the purpose i want it for?
Here is an example of one I was looking at...

What do you think? Will it work?
Is this more like it/

And thank you Dr. , I appreciate your feedback. I really would like to try. I understand Im not trained, but if I dont hear it, then so be it. I just thought it might be kind of neat if I could. I will take your advice into consideration.
Don't waste your money, dear. It would take a very expensive and specialized steth for you to hear your baby's heartbeat, and honestly without training, YOU aren't probably going to find it. Use the doppler at your doc's office to hear it early and often.
Take care and enjoy your pregnancy. Congrats.
