So I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow .. and i went in for an ultrasound earlier this week to see how far i am... when they did the ultrasound we got to hear the heart beat. And the babys heart beat was 147...
my mom says it s a girl but im curious what you guys think?
If its high is it a girl? Chances of being a boy?lol. My fiance wants a boy! :)

  • I actually think that's on the lower side of the normal range for 8 weeks. We had our second Ultrasound today (8w2d) and ours was at 168. I've heard the high heartbeat = girl theory, but who knows if it's true.

  • Doctor said it was good at 8 weeks. Just curious what everyone thinks.
  • Yep! That is good for 8 weeks. Congratulations!!! :)
  • That's just wives tale. I have four, two of each, and it's been the same for all four.

  • My little ones heartbeat was 164 and he/she was 7w, 5d. Whether or not it's just a wives tale, I still want a little girl. (: I want a "mini me". <3
