Gender + heart rate

CagleBaby · July 2009

As the old wives' tale has it, if your unborn baby's heart rate is higher, above 140 beats per minute, that means you're carrying a girl. A lower heart rate below 140 bpm means you're having a boy.

Has this turned out to be True or False for you?

False for me.

True. Upper 160s and a she.

Stephany Fritz · July 2009

We're having a girl and the heartrate has always been over 150+ since my 20 week u/s...so yeah I guess so.

But it is just an OWT afterall

Mrs. A.J. Martins · July 2009

We've always been between the 170s and 150s (its progressively slowing down a little) and we're no question having a little boy. Its been confirmed by 3 different u/s techs and a perinatologist.

BeanieWeanie · July 2009

False. Little man's hr has always been in the high 150s.

Amigosa · July 2009

False- for both of my boys. Both were/are always in the upper 140s to low 150s

peppermintgirl · July 2009

My little girl's heart rate is usually above 150, though it's been as low as 130 a few times. So, neither and both.

mizrutherford0901 · July 2009

Having a little boy and his rate is in the 130's..so true for us.

false

My LO has been anywhere between 145-155 and he's all boy. In turn, when my mom was pg with me, they told her the entire time I was a boy because I had a slow heartbeat - they were all surprised to find out I was a girl. There is absolutely no correlation between heartbeat and gender.
