estimating sex by baby's heart rate
i am very intrigued by this theory and have read all pros and cons, but i don't want to read medical studies i want to hear from real mums.
this lo is baby number 4 and my other 3 were all correctly estimated on heart rate by the midwife. then later confirmed by scan (except my daughter, midwife estimated girl and evryone else estimated boy)
so between 12 and 20 weeks what was your baby's heart rate and do you know what your having???
the midwifes said the theory is this:
heart rate above 140 bpm is said to be a girl
heart rate below 140 bpm is said to be a boy
but this theory is only accurate up until 20 weeks supposedly!!!!
everyones input welcome as i am 6 weeks off my anomaly scan and midwife has estimated girl from heart rate of 156 bpm

one of my friends midwifes, told her at 13 weeks that she was having a boy because of the heart rate which i thought was quite unorthodox as it is just a theory, a later scan did comfirm a boy.
This is true for me as before 12 weeks my babys hb was over 170, then up until 28 weeks was always higher than 155 but recently his generally about 125-130 and we are definately having a boy!

my baby heart beet is 147 in 20 weeks, Boy or Girl, pls tell me correct one. Raj
Anyone pls response soon
Its a load of rubbish just an old wives take, baby's heart rate can vary at different times of the day. According to my baby's heart rate I'm having a boy but I'm not it's another little girl.
I jus had my first ultrasound. I thought I was 10weeks exactly but 3d ultrasound actually measured 11weeks 3days..I have to gorgeous boys n non of them was above 150..always ranged between 130-148. To top it all up I had severe morning sickness with both from 4 to around 15-16weeks.
This one seems to be quite different iv not had any MS, had to do two pregnancy tests to confirm if u was still preggos coz I feel so fine n eating jus about everything though craving lots of fruits, milkshakes n junk food..
Baby's HR was at 156. Iv done almost all the gender predictors n all are pointing to one sex. I do another ultrasound at 18 weeks jus to confirm.
May God bless u all during this joyous journey! Due 13th Nov,15..
My first OB appointment I was 8 weeks. The baby’s Heartbeat was 155
Liesssss.
Our baby's heart rate is 135, and it's a girl.
Like none of my symptoms match with the typical girl symptoms, except for the acne which isn't even that prevalent.
