Something to Ponder During Work...

So, I started thinking about this today and was wondering what anyone thought about this.

My SIL and I are both pregnant (her first, my second). Both of us are on Team Green, which is cool.

I think she is having a girl, and I think I'm having a boy (I have a DD already). She thinks she's having a boy.

If we want to use an old wives tale (why not, it's fun) her baby's HB at 30 weeks is 130 and mine at 25 weeks (since I am a few weeks behind) was 160.

Any guesses??! Has anyone had a DD with a lower hb since the wives tale would say that a 130 is a boy?!

Curious to know what you've seen with your own babies (if you are Team Blue or Team Pink or if you have a DS/DD already)!

My baby's HB is around 140-150 every visit. I'm having a boy!

Having a boy, his HB is around 150 almost always

I'm having a girl and at my last ultrasound her HB was 130. Usually its between 140 and 150.

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with genetics than with gender. My midwife has said that mine sounds like a boy b/c it is slow. I didn't bother to mention that both my dad and I have a very slow resting heartrate, usually less than 50 bpm.

Sorry, I'm such an OWT party pooper!!

HB this time is always between 150 and 160 at my last 2 appointments (30 and 32 weeks) my DD's HB was around 13--140 at this point, so the OWT's are not right for me. Now, they carrying high= girl and carrying low= boy OWT is true for me.

Our little guy's heart rate is usually around 140. It was higher at the beginning, but it has been consistent at my last 2 appointments.

I'm having a boy - HB is always 140-150.

My SIL and I are both pregnant at the same time as well. Our first ultrasound was at 7 weeks and my baby's heartbeat was 173. My SIL's first ultrasound was 173 as well. Since my 2nd trimester, the baby's heartbeat has been 150-130. Lately it's been more in the 130's. My SIL has been about the same. We are both having little girls!

We carry very differently though. I carry high and she carries low. I don't think heartbeat or how someone carries tells you though, sorry. I know a lot of people who had boys with faster heartbeats.

DD's heartbeat hangs around 150. One of my friends also had a son whose hearbeat hung around 150 the whole time. According to every old wives tail (except heart beat and ring trick) I should be having a boy but two ultrasounds have both shown girl.
