Had 1st OB appt today :)
Got to hear the heartbeat (saw it before on our sono, but didnt get to hear it) for the first time! It was 170ish at 8 weeks for our sono, and it was 160s today at the OB. Is there any truth at all about girls having higher heart rates? I have two boys...so a little pink would be thrilling in my life!

YAY!
I think everyone will think differently. That OWT was the opposite for me and didn't work. Many thought I was having the opposite due to the hb, but much to our surprise they were wrong (we were team green).
I think it varies but Ava's was always high like that and she is a girl.
How far along are you? Are you going to find out?
My son's heartbeat was above 160 the first two times I heard it. I was convinced it was a girl. Turns out I was wrong
DS was consistently in the high 150s - low 160s at every.single.appointment. There were lots of guesses that he was a girl b/c of that (we were team green). My best friend said that her mom told her that her heartrates were always very low, which led to lots of guesses that she was a boy... clearly not.
I don't know - I don't put much stock in OWTs, b/c they're true for some; not true for others (FWIW, my mom said my brother's heartrates were always low and my heartrates were always high, so it was true for her).
... every single day of forever.
