I'm Currently Feeling:  | Babies heart rate and gender
I went to the doctor yesterday and she said that the babies heart rate was 160bpm and when I called my mom to tell her how the appt went she said "Oh your having a girl!" Is there any truth to the heart rate being higher with girls and lower with boys? I kinda hope there is because the closer I get to finding out the gender the more I want a girl! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | No scientific data backing this up.
My baby's HBs were: 153, 138, 144, 146, 148
Girl? Boy? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Its just an old wives tale hon, they've found no connection between the heartrate and gender. I do think it holds up when you're in labor though. I'm pretty sure someone has said this in a post. Apparently if its still high during labor its a girl and if its low its a boy.
With my son it was high at first, 140+ but later on it dropped to below 140 and with this pregnancy its been high throughout but I don't know what I'm having. I'll let you know if it holds out for me when I get my next U/S.
I think the heartrate/gender thread I read not that long ago is in Pregnancy Club. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I was looking at a study done a few weeks back to see if it was true and there was no correlation between the heart rate and gender. At least you find out soon though! |
