is it fast heartbeat = girl or fast heartbeat = boy? can't remember

[allycotownofbethlehem]

can anyone remind me of the heartbeta thingy? is it a fast heartbeat likely to mean a girl, or is it a boy??

What's an average of 150 likely to be in MN's experience??

TIA

My MW said it was an old wives tale.

Either

(Really!)

It means it's a baby.

fast more likely to be a boy & it was definitely true in my case. I've got one of each.

It's definitely.....one or the other.

I was told I was having a boy as the heartbeat was fast.

Dd2 was not a boy.

they reckon the faster it is the more likely it is to be a girl my dd's was always around 160 and my ds was 140 beats so worked for me.

mum recons my one has a fast heart and he's a boy apparently (as per scans) - it's also v strong - will tell u in about 8 weeks thou if it's right!

I was told galloping horses - girl, train chugging - boy. It's all a load of crap, but the midwife did get it right, a few weeks before I had dd, when I didn't actually want to know the sex.

hmmm don't know the bpm but this one's heart certianly sounds more 'mellow' than my other babies did - maybe its a boy??

Slow is a boy. DS1's was 140, so slow the mw wondered if it was mine! (errrr, no)
Thomcat had a very fast heartbeat btw adndlok what she got!
150 is average tho.

my midwife told me it was a girl a couple of weeks before delivery due to the fast heart rate. Everyone else thought I was having another boy but she was the only one who was right .
(and me, I knew I was having a girl).

Fast 'resting bpm' is supposed to be girl, slow is boy - no scientific verification at all but loads of mw swear by it and it was true for me 4 times! 150 is probably a girl but remember it is increased when baby is moving.

In my limited experience-
Over 160 a girl

140 or below a boy - 150 could be either.

Both my girls were around 155. But at my last visit with my gp she listened to little one's heartbeat (around 140) and promptly said "Oh, you've got a little boy in there this time then". I'm going for my 20 weeks scan on Thursday (wish me luck cos the 12 week nuchal scan was not clear) and I'm hoping to find out then.

Ds1 and ds2 both had a heart-rate of about 150.

I am currently pregnant. Heartbeat is consitently 150 and I am having a boy.

my dd2 had whatever it was for a boy consistently - so much so that the Gp asked me if I knew what the old wives tale was - so we both looked it up and at my next antenatal appt checked the heartbeat again - still the same... and babe was a girl.

need to know for friend who has scan today - my bet's a girl!

It's meant to be fast heartbeat is girl and slower is boy. But DS always had a fast heartbeat and DD a slow heartbeat (day before she was born the mw was sure she'd be a boy) and so I don't believe it
