Heartbeat?

[atomic sagebrush]

I never found this to be accurate, but I thought we should share our experiences!

[Janed]

It was in the middle for me first DD, low for the 2nd and really low for the 3rd DD. DS was in the middle to low.

[CocoChanel]

My boys have always decided to abide by this OWT. :p

In fact, besides the extreme nausea of DS#3, I found them freakily accurate for me. :D

[Azuremyst]

12 weeks was 165 16 weeks was 153 20 weeks was 151

[Viene]

HR was in the 150s all the times it was checked.

[Lilac♥]

My girls have always had high heart rates. I forgot to ask what the heart rate was for this one, I'll have to wait a month to find out.

[My Fabulous Children]

My girls have always had high heart rates (165's-175s) but with my boy heart rate was around 150s.

[ELP]

I can't remember my numbers but I know they definately sounded different. How about if people with home dopplers recorded theirs and posted them, we could see what they sound like!

[Sara'sFHC]

Cassies was high in the beginning (for the gestation I think)! At 5w6d, her HR was 133. Then it went to 160s..as I got further in my pg..145s.
The boys had HRs at around 150s.

Oddly enough, this owt proved true for me. DD's heart rate was always well into the "girl" range. My boys heart rates were consistently much lower. DD's hb never fell below 160 I believe.

[Brat23]

My boys were always in the 140's this new one is 165 to start and 153 at the last US

[xnicolax]

My 4 boys have been all over the place. I had my own doppler with no4 and used to listen all of the time (I bought it because of this theory). It changed through out the day so I dont believe in it anymore either.

[mybluepilot]

With my two DDs high 160 so it was true with my girls

[OneLastDream]

DS1 and 2 were in ghe girl range so quite high but DS3 was typical boy. I dont think I can go by heartrates if I am lucky to have no. 4!!!

[Lisa]

It never worked for me.

My OB said the HR starts low at around 5 + weeks and increases 3 beats per day and then slows down again after 12 or so weeks. So I think to truly compare we should tell the first visit rate at what week, then etc. For my DD the first visit was at 9 weeks and it was 172. Then in the 2nd trim it was 165. This one on the 7.4 week scan it was 150.

[mitz0315]

both DS were high. 10w u/s were in the 170s and stayed at a range between 150s-170s until birth. this OWT did not work for me

[XXdreaming]

read this was only accurate after the 18th week of pregnancy but even then it didnt work for me lol, ds1 was 130s to 140s, ds2 was 160s, ds3 was 170s and ds4 was 140s

[CapricornAquarius]

Just had my 12week 6day scan & heart rate is 150bpm, so if its meant to slow down I wonder by how much, gosh having to wait 6 whole weeks seems ages away.

[Sunset]

with my ds's it was in the 150's. with this pregnancy hb is in the 130's and im having a girl this time so not true for me
