I'm pregnant and have a fetal doppler to listen to my babys heartbeat.
I've let a few family and friends listens and no less than 7 people (including my midwife) have told me that my baby's heartbeat sounds "so strong that it must be a boy".
When I had terrible morning sickness early on I was frequently told that I must be having a girl because "boys don't make you feel sick".
So a female fetus is poisonous to a pregnant woman and male ones are noticeably strong?
Why in 2013 do people still spout such nonsense? I'm pregnant and hormonal but it really pisses me off.
