Both my kids had heart rates ranging from 150-160 BPM. One is a boy and one is a girl. Nothing about heart rate can determine the sex of your child. Also, the sex-specific differences in skull shape do not come into play until puberty. There is absolutely no difference between a boy and girl infant skull.
There are two ways, and two ways only, that medicine is aware of to determine a child's sex.
1. An ultrasound that is able to pick up images of genitalia and give you sex feedback (this is how we found out we were having a girl)
2. You deliver a baby and the sex is announced at birth.
That's it.
The rest are old wives' tales that don't measure up. By EVERY SINGLE OLD WIVES' TALE IN THE CALENDAR, I was destined to have a boy. Including how "I just felt certain it was a boy".
Nope. Little girl.
I could guess, sure. But that's all it would be. A guess. A literal shot in the dark.

Also a blood test will test for presence of Y chromosome.

And these blood tests should be used to determine genetic issues and chromosomal abnormalities for the fetus.....NOT just because "I can't wait until the anatomy scan, and I need to find out now." these are serious tests and should be taken seriously.
---------------------------- I'm pretty sure she's aware of that (all prenatal tests/examines' main purpose is to check health of baby), she's just pointing out there is another way because it is recognized by medicine and you said there were only two ways.

You won't find any posts from me asking how do I find out how my baby pees. I was, however, clarifying that there are more than the two ways that were listed in the comment I was replying to.

Re: Boy or girl from skull theory and heart rate?? Guesses please
Awwwww are we losing another one to baby center? How disappointing
Did that thread get deleted? I don't remember where it was
Pretty sure she succeeded in deleting her account. Makes me sad because I'm a beginner at giffing and I had a good one. Oh well.

No need to get so hostile.
