Baby monitors arent nearly as necessary as you may think. I can count on one hand how many times we have used ours.
When baby needs you, s/he will let you know. Very quickly. Babies are built that way. They really arent needed unless you stick the baby in the basement and sleep on the third floor (or vice versa) and if you do, then stop.
Its easier and better to just keep the baby close-ish to you while it is sleeping.
If yous still think you need one, Id recommend waiting until the baby comes and you do in fact need one to get one. And if you do, get a cheap vtech (y0) audio only, and a d-link IP cam. cheaper and much more flexible.
We used the camera a ton when grace hit toddler age and would either get into stuff in her bedroom or play when she should be sleeping.
