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
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.
