2nd Trimester

Back from the Doctors

I just got back from my doctors appointment. I got to hear the heart beat but was very disapointed because I thought I was going to get a u/s. I have been waiting to see my baby again. The heart rate was between 155-165. My friend told me the wives tale that if its in the 140s its a girl and about 150s its a boy....but then my doctor told me he heard it the other way. So what is it? I find out the sex June 4th on my birthday. The best gift could ask for!

  • wives tale = girls have higher, boys are lower

    ours was 165-170 on Friday and doc said, sounds like a girl!!

  • OWT are for the birds.  My little guy had readings of: 139 bpm, 165 bpm, and 155 bpm.  Wish it was an indicator, but it's not!

  • My little ones hearbeat has been between the 140s and 150s and we are having a boy.
  • The old wives tail is that Under 140 = Boy, Over 140 = Girl

    It was right for my kids, but I've heard that it's not for many others.  I think if there is any truth to it, it would also depend on the activity level of the baby at the time the HB was taken.  :  So, who knows :)

  • If the heart rate thing was true, doctors could tell you without an u/s what you are having. Theres proof that even though it might prove right for some, it can prove wrong for others just the same.
