heart rate

Both my boys were high 158 160 always and this time im having a girl it was always very low 130 until finally at 20 weeks she is the same as my boys..i dont believe you can judge a heart rate by gender:)

Yup I don't believe it either. I know my boys were high like in the 160's.

it just an old wives tale xx

In my last pregnancies I had a lovely old midwife who always used to say she thought you could guess gender on the change in heart rate. So the rate at which it slows between 12 weeks and say 20 weeks, I'm not totally sure what the time frame was or which way round was boy or girl but she said she had about 85% success rate from that. :)

Mine is in the 160s all I know is it made me smile the first time I saw it. ;)

With DD her heart beat was always 160's, this pregnancy has been 148 both times - I am 15 weeks preg. But looking at my scans apparently people are telling me it looks like another girl on the way.. see;Attachment 4682

It was wrong for 2 of my 3. My friend was told by her dr that her baby has a girl heart beat and she just found out yesterday she is having a boy.

The heart rate thing was actually true for me. My 3 boys were all in the range of 135-150, and my daughter's was in the range of 160-180.

My third boy is 180 range, crazy high!

I don't believe it because it is all so variable as to what you "catch" the baby doing.

My first son was between 160-175 at 8 and 13 weeks. It was around 150 for the rest of pregnancy (doppler and ultrasounds).

My second son was between 140-175 at various times in his pregnancy. Sometimes it was lower, sometimes higher. I actually had it checked on Doppler at one appt 165 and then had a sonogram not ten minutes later and it was 151. He apparently went to sleep.

This Baby was 128 at 6 weeks, 141 at 10 weeks, and 171 at 12 weeks. Clearly a wide variety. No idea what sex this one is. But I wouldn't base the guess on its heart rate.
