Testing the heart rate old wives tale

MKang20 · July 2012

I thought it would be fun to test the heart rate theory for those that already know the gender of their baby.

If you know the gender of your baby, please list the gender and the heart rate from your latest check up below.

I realize it's just an old wives tale and it depends on the activity of the baby, so this is just for fun!

6w5d: 125

10w (or somewhere around there): 158

1) We've had at least a dozen posts on the heart rate owt.

2) There is a spreadsheet that was made regarding the owt's and actual a/s results.

Good try though.

Eek, didn't mean to anger you. As an occasional visitor of this group, I thought the results would be interesting. Please forgive me, I didn't realize this was an exclusive group that doesn't allow repeat posts.

I figured rational people would just ignore it if they didn't want to participate.

My bad.

Which is exactly what they should do. No one is forcing anyone to open a post or even reply. They can just get over it.

We never find out when I'm pregnant but with both my kids they had the same heart rate throughout my pregnancy and during labor. I have 1 boy and 1 girl.

Well I"m an occasional visitor too, so I will post.

DS his heart rate was 140s - high 150s

I don't know the sex yet for LO #2 but the first heart rate was 176 and today it was 141. So how's that for messing with the numbers.

MKang20 · July 2012

This was intended to be a fun/simple question. Why kick up unnecessary drama?

maestra816 · July 2012

15wk 154-------BOY:)

MrsM2008 · July 2012

Yikes punchy lot! DD was in the 150's.

blowfish11 · July 2012

Even though I've seen a million posts like this, I'll play.

With DD: Always over 150

DS: 140, every time

Baby #3: 196 at 9 weeks, 156 at 13 weeks, 146 at 17 weeks. Baby is a girl.

rockinmommy · July 2012

DD was always over 150

This baby, 141 @ 8 weeks, 140 @ 12 weeeks, 146 @ 16 weeks, and it's a BOY!

ckkgb2001 · July 2012

How is everyone supposed to know how/when various topics have been posted?

It's not like everyone looks through the 75 pages of posts before they post a new topic just to be sure no one has talked about their topic before. Geeze.

Pretty sure no one here has seen and read EVERY post - even yourself.

In fact, for me, this is the first post I've read about this topic - I've seen them once or twice (not the dozen you claim) I've never really read them.

I have yet to hear of this spreadsheet - and why is the spreadsheet not available to everyone? I would consider myself a regular on this board and feel everyone should have access to it, I would like to see it.

ndolehan · July 2012

Our past two appointments BPM was in the 150's. Before that the two appointments were in the 160's and 170's.

We don't find out gender until the 23rd!

LaceAndLilies · July 2012

I'm game :-)

My LO's heart beat was 104 at 5 wks, 5 days, 156 at 16 wks, 4 days, and 145 at 17 wks, 2 days. We're having a little girl!

BLuvsE · July 2012

I heard about the spreadsheet once...but where is it?? On the blog maybe?

8 weeks - 150/155 (one on doppler, one on U/S)

12 weeks - 120 (sleeping per MW)

16 weeks - 145

GIRL - the 12 week on threw me off a lot. I was so sure we were having a boy.

dacohan · July 2012

Just found out today that we are having a BOY! And his heart rate today was 156. Every other appt. it has been a lot higher, 190's, 180's and last ultrasound on June 13 was 170.

Baby is a boy This is one of 4-ish OWT that pointed to girl rather than boy. The other 7 or so pointed to boy!

This. I'm fairly regular to this board and have only seen a couple of these posts, none with a spreadsheet ? Its fun to read, if you're not interested, keep scrolling.....
Our baby's heart rate has been in the mid 160's all 3 appointments...a/s next week!!!
