Clicky poll: Moms - did heartbeat predict gender?

yjahrling · October 2010

I posted this on my regular May 2011 board too, but 1st Tri tends to get more traffic, so here we go! Smile

I've heard that heartbeat above 150 generally indicates a girl, and below is a boy. Just trying to figure out from our 2nd (or 3rd....or 4th...) time moms if there's any truth in this or if it's just an old wives tale!

HB correlation is an OWT, I've linked to an article that I really like on this topic: https://www.obgyn.net/medical.asp?page=/english/pubs/features/dubose/ehr-age

Even if there was a shred of truth, a 1st tri hb would not be a helpful gauge since the hb starts slowly, really gears up, then settles a bit. That said, here you go...

HB=110 6w
HB=135 7w
HB=165 9w
HB=158 12w
HB with home doppler= 136-160 14w+

We are having a boy.
