Heartbeat and Gender- Old Wives Tale

So today I had a sono at 7 weeks 3 days and the heartbeat was 162 bpm, the sono tech guessed it was a girl based on the "heartbeat old wives tale," I just wanted to see how many of you that know the gender now, if this was actually true for you?

Re: Heartbeat and Gender- Old Wives Tale

The first time we heard the HB it was 168, it's now in the 150's and it's a Chat Icon The only old wives tales that held true for me was that I had little nausea and I have a linea nigra that goes all the way up past my belly button. Otherwise, all symptoms pointed to girl.

Re: Heartbeat and Gender- Old Wives Tale

It has been over 140 so far and I am having a girl so it does go along with the prediction.

My first pregnancy, baby's heartbeat was always over 160. I told DH I suspected a girl bc of the old wives tale and the tech said, honestly that's completely false. Baby's heart rate changes based on how many weeks you are and whether baby is active at the moment or resting.

Well, she was right. I had a DS! Chat Icon

When I was pregnant with my Chat Icon , the heartrates were always high so I believed the Old Wive's Tale.

This time, the heartrates were all high in the beginning (at 7, 8, 9 and 13 weeks) so I was thinking Chat Icon . But, it's a Chat Icon ! My OB said that in the first 10 weeks, the heartrates are usually high and the Old Wive's Tale is really more of an indicator in mid-pregnancy.

Not true for me. This baby heartbeat has always been in the 150s-160s and it is a boy.
