Poll: Heartbeat and Gender Prediction

An old wives tale says that if the heart beat is 150 and up, then you are having a girl. Just wondering how accurate this is on the boards.

I just got back from my first "official" sono and I am measuring 8 wks and the hb was 175 Chat Icon

My Chat Icon 's heartrate has always been below 140.

At the stage you are at, though, it's normal for the heartrate to be that high. It will start to settle around 14 weeks or so.

With my 1st baby, the HB was always 145 and above, I had a Chat Icon With this pregnancy, so far at 8 and 12 weeks, the HB has been 160. I will find out in 4 weeks if its a girl or boy.

Re: Poll: Heartbeat and Gender Prediction

I just read a study on this and out of like 1,000 babies the mean heart rate for both genders were the same- something like .1 or .2 difference.
