sex of your twins...
I know they say its an old wives tale but I am wondering for those who have BDTD if this held any weight with your pregnancy. I am having fraternal twins and their first heart-rate was 117 & 115, second heart-rate was 146 & 140, and today they were both 151 bpm. The Drs office was all betting on them being boys, and now I am thinking that whatever sex they are they both must be same sex. What do you think??
ETA: Both babies measured perfectly and they had nice strong heart-rates...BUT when the tech checked their heart-rates their hearts sounded so different. He actually commented on how different they sounded as he was locating Baby #2s and then when he got it they were exactly the same bpm. I am just worrying that maybe something is wrong and thats why they sounded so completely different cause it certainly wasn't because the rates were different.

Re: sex of your twins...
I am having a  and  . My babies HB's were pretty much the same throughout my pregnancy. I'm 22 weeks now and they are still pretty much the same. They've always been within a few beats of eachother. Usually around 150 AND 151.
My MIL told me that the boys HB sounds like a galloping horse and the girls HB sound like a washing machine. I think that's how it goes. It might be the other way around. But that was true for me. 1 sounds like a galloping horse and the other like a washing machine.

Re: sex of your twins...
I was on the green team all along and EVERYONE thought OR .
Instead I had .
Their HBs were usually insinc with each other and always varied, so who knows?!
Not knowing is really the best, its a reason to push! There are no more surprises we get as adults- its really a great moment when the twins come out.

Re: sex of your twins...
I am 25 weeks pregnant with twins and throughout the entire pregnancy their heartbeats have been the same..some weeks 140 and 141, and then another week 176 and 175...the drs thought i was having 2 boys in the beginning because of the heartbeats but that didn't turn out to be true. the fun part is trying to guess!

Re: sex of your twins...
Thanks ladies. Just wondering if your LO's heartbeats sounded completely different. Mine sounded sooo different the sono tech even made a comment about it. (which automatically made me think something was wrong)

I just had and some sonograms they were are 20 beats apart and others they were almost exact. My dr. said to not go by the heartbeats.

Re: sex of your twins...
They probably sounded different because of their positioning. I know with my twins their HBs always sound different because A is always hiding in the shadows of B.
My first pregnancy was a single. HB was usually 160-170 and was a boy.
I definitely believe HB and gender is an old wives tale.
