has it worked for anyone??

Isnt it if its under 140bpm its a boy and if its over its a girl...?

at the GPs surgery the heart rate at 12+5 was 155 and on my doppler (has a heart rate counter thing) its always between 157 and 162bpm

just wondered it there is any truth in this!!

HR is higher for a boy and less than 140 for a girl, that was what i was told?
