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.

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;baby.JPG

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.

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.A: "Owner" of the following brood:
-Our biggest surprise dude (L: 2009)
-Our rainbow little man (K: 2011)
-Our sway and pray little diva (J: 2013)
-Our lucky charm guy (S: 2015)
We may be done, we may come back for one more sway. Time will tell. At the moment, we are very content with our family!
