I've heard several people tell me that you can try and guess what the baby is going to be by how high the heartbeat is... but I can't remember if it's a girl that has a high heart beat or if it's a boy that has a high heart beat...anyone know (granted yes I know that it's just an old wives tale, but I'm just curious! )
We had our second visit today and everything look great! I've only gained 2 lbs and the Dr. said I was right on target. (then why do my jeans feel like i've gained 10lbs?!!!) The heartbeat was at 170. The Dr. told us not to freak out if he couldn't find it right away but he nailed it as soon as he put the machine to my belly!
Re: what is the saying about heartbeats???
It depends on the time of day, who you are talking to, and whether they hate women or men at the time.
According to my mom and others, a high hb means a boy. According to other people, it means a girl. It all comes back to the same thing: I'm either having a boy...or a girl
over 140 a girl and under a boy. I went Monday and mine was 168 bpm and as soon as he put the doppler on me we heard the hb too.
As pp said, <140 = boy, >140 = girl.
BUT my first baby's was in the mid-150s the whole time and he is very much a boy. This baby is in the low-160s so I'm curious...
