Mia was a surprise baby, but we had heard that urban legend as well, and interestingly enough at all appointments her HR was above 140, except for one time when it was 138.

My daughter's heartbeat was 130-150 so the myth didn't stand for me.

Truthfully, as like an adult's heartbeat, when LO is active, the heartbeat will be faster and when inactive it will be lower.

I even asked my doctor about this wives tale and he agreed that it depended on the activity or inactivity of the baby.

My girl is between 120-140..

Not true at all, even a little before labor

Baby's HR (heart rate) as measured by BPM has no direct relationship to sex UNTIL labor.

My little girls is usually around 160 xXx

When I was monitered in hospital for 20 mnutes on a machine, my babys heart rate ranged from about 130 to about 180... I dont remember exactly. But there was a very large range!

Its probably a myth, but sometimes the sex prediction things are fun

Although with this one, I always thought boys had higher heartrates?

xxx

150ish and it is a boy!

Mine was 136bpm @ 20 weeks & 133bmp @ 28 weeks & I am def having a girl!

daughter 1 was 155
daughter 2 was 160
daughter 3 was 160
son on way always been 160

good luck!

Don't know what this baby is. But with my son his HR was in the 150-155's the whole time.
