My first was a girl, her heart rate was always around 160-178. This one is a boy and the highest his has been was 150 at 15 weeks. His is usually around 135 now.
With my son at 9 weeks, his HR was 160, and this one at 8 weeks was 160. Both tapered off to around 145 by 12 weeks, and then went down to between 130 and 140 consistently. For this reason alone I figured I was having a boy again, but nope, it's a girl! I didn't realize how much I believed the OWT until I felt disappointed to realize this baby's HR was following the same trends as my sons. I was hoping and feeling like it was a girl, but assumed not based on the HR. The lesson I learned? HR means nothing!
heart rate at 8 weeks was 174, then 157 at 16 weeks and 20 weeks for me. It's a girl, so I guess this owt was in our favor, but with 50/50 odds, it either is, or it isn't!
Old wives tale or not, it turned out to ring true for me all 3 times! We had a lower heartrate for the first ultrasound and each time my babies turned out to be boys!
Opposite for me. My first sonogram the heart rate was high and the doctor said that usually means its a girl... the following ultrasound the heart rate was around the same and it was confirmed to be a boy!! Needless to say, every ultrasound we like to have verbal confirmation that it is still a boy, lol. 34 weeks now and its still a boy!
Re: Heart rate and gender?
I actually followed the myth.
High for my DD=174
Low for my DS=150's..now in the 140's sometimes.
Who know!? But it's fun to play right!?
DS was between 130-145 and this one was 155-165 and it is a girl.

I'm having boy and girl twins.
Boy Heart Rate-145-152
Girl Heart Rate: 158-167

Good luck!
DD1 was consistantly high
DD2 is consistantly low
So 5050 for us
