OK- so yes I know that this is supposed to be a myth and that it is scientifically disproven, but I was curious anyways. I have my big u/s check next Thursday and was wondering if any of you ladies had any truths or myths to the old saying that is the heart rate is above 140 it is a girl and below 140 is a boy. I have a fetal doppler and use it a lot and since I got it (14 weeks) the heart rate has been 135-140, occasionally getting to the upper 140's while the baby is moving but nothing ever higher than that. So based on the prediction, I have a boy. Of course I will hopefully know next Thursday (3/20) but just thought it might be fun to see if any of you had any input. I am sure there are a lot of you here that have found out already! Thanks to anyone who wants to give me thier story!

Well with my first daughter her rate was always 150-165. Only below that once. and I am pregnant again We are pretty positive it is a another girl and her rate has also been in the same range, a little lower 145-155.
So you never know, but it has been true for me so far :)

It's a total wives tale. My dd had a low heart rate and my ds has been really high so far...so...you just never know. My dr thought for sure I was having a boy the first time based on that. :) I knew it was a girl so I laughed when I was right.

hi...ok, every single wives tale trick or symptom said i was having a girl....including the heart rate myth. i had an ultrasound on tuesday and it is very definately a boy. his legs were spread and it was very obvious. those myths may be fun, but in the end they are only 50percent right. good luck.

i think the thing with old wives tales is that a lot of women believe them if they tell them what they secretly want to hear i.e. this means you are having a boy, hence saramcg has 'feelings' she has a boy possibly due to hearing this old wives tale and wanting it to be true. the only truth is that we can't believe what these tales tell us, you can only believe the facts of an ultrasound in reality.

I am pregnant with a girl. At 13 weeks her heartrate was 169, then at 17 weeks and afterwards it has been in the high 130's. Last week, at my 38 week appointment, her heartrate was 125 before she got woken up and it shot up into the 130's.

I don't know if it is true or not but our baby's heart beat is 153 and it is a BOY!!!!! so the myth in my case would be off.

My daughter (she's 22 months now) was anywhere between 117 and 135, which I thought was really low for either a boy or a girl - but she's perfectly healthy. I'm now expecting another girl and during the 2 checks I've had her heart rates were 140 and 141. So I can confirm it's just an old wive's tale.

its a wives tale BUT held tue with my dd she always had a high hr...which they say is a sign of a girl...and my sils son held true as well...he always had a low hr! so yeah its not a guarentee but sometimes it does match lol

My baby's heartbeat is uaually around 150 and she is indeed a girl but I dont believe heartrate can determine the s_x at all
