Im 10weeks today & Monday we finally got to hear baby #3's heartbeat!! :bigsmile: The heartrate was 175 & while I know there is no truth in the old wives tales, 175 would indicate (according to old wives tales) that im carrying another Girl.
Both of my girls stayed in the 150 range...so this baby's heartrate is quite higher than what there's were.
So I'm just curious what your sons & daughters heartrates were while you were pregnant :happy:
William's was 135 I think!
My daughter's was low at 120 and all 4 of my son's were 150-165
DS1 at 11 wks was 135, at 18wks it was 155 with the US machine, I don't remamber from18-41wks what it was, but right before the inducement start it was 135.
DS2 at 10wks was 140, at 18wks it was 165, 22wks it was 160, 26wks it was 155, 30wks it was 150, 34-41wks it was 135. Had US every 4wks to check the low placenta and I kept asking them confirm it was still a boy.
DS was very fast all throughout my pregnancy except for when I was in labor.
Both my boys had pretty high heart rates, and my daughters was about 120-ish (quite low compared to theirs which was 160 - 165 I think).
I never noticed what my first 3 were but I was obsessed with gender with my fourth (I was obsessed with all of them but I didnt have the internet back then, lol), I bought a doppler with a BPM display and I used to check ALL of the time what it was. I found that the heart rate changes all of the time, my DS fluctuated from 130 bpm to 165 bpm depending on lots of things, like what you ate/drank, if the baby is sleeping, how active you or the baby have been etc. I dont think the the high heard rate indicates your carrying another girl x
Both of my boys hr at the first appointment were in the 170s and stayed from 150-175 throughout the entire pregnancy. You may just have a little boy in there:)
my 3 girls were from 135 through to 150's. i thought the higher,the more likely to be a girl too but looking at some of the other posts,it doesn't seem conclusive.:think:
