1st Trimester

Heart Rate 176 at 12 weeks 3 days

We just had the 12 week US and the heart rate was 176.  My mom claims that this means its a girl.  Does anyone have experience with predicting gender based on heart rate or is this an old wives tale?

  • My LO had a very high heart rate the first time we saw HER at 6 weeks so it's possible!  But it's not a given.  I wouldn't go painting the nursery just yet Wink

  • My mom thought the same thing. She is convinced that if the HB is higher than 140 then it's a girl.  I don't know that there is much truth to this but for us it actuallly turned out to be right.  Meh 50/50 chance right!  And either way guessing is kind of fun:)

  • There has been research to prove that it's bogus. It's just an OWT. It could go either way.

  • Definitely OWT. My (obvious) baby boy has had a HB at 170 this entire pregnancy.

    OWT.  There's a 50% chance it's a girl.
