What is the heart rate old wives tale?
I know it's been asked but I don't feel like searching.

Re: What is the heart rate old wives tale?
I've read that
>140 = girl
<140 = boy
My little  was
162bpm at 10wks
148bpm at 12wks
145bpm at 14wks
145bpm at 16wks

My baby's heart rate was exactly 140. Does that make it a he/she?

Re: What is the heart rate old wives tale?
I think in the 140's are questionable....as per the *theory*. 150+ they say definitely girl and 140- they say definitely boy.
I had a girl the first time around and her HB was always 145+. This time around the HB has been about the same....we'll know in about 5-6 weeks if it's a girl.

Re: What is the heart rate old wives tale?
for me her heartbeat has been all over the map - so i don't think it has anything to do with gender....
early readings were all in the 150's or 160's, but as of late, 140's are her average...

Re: What is the heart rate old wives tale?
When I went for my last check up my baby's heart rate was 162! I was only 13 weeks then. I wish I could find out already! Must wait until April!

Re: What is the heart rate old wives tale?
Basically if its high its a girl, low its a boy. If your at 140...you still have to wait....
Have you tried one of those gender predictor tests online, they go by the old wives tales. When i did it it said congratulation you have a 50% change of having a boy.
I was like duhhh.....
But they do ask you questions and explain all of the old wives tales. It's cute!

does it depend on how far along you are too?

When I was PG the heart rate was always low, so we thought we were having a
But... we had a little so the wives tale did not work for us!

Re: What is the heart rate old wives tale?
When I was pregnant with Luke he always had a HB in the 160s and they kept saying it was a girl. So I don't believe this at all.

HR's are usually higher in early pregnancy
