    Its very inaccurate.....universities and doctors have done studies that proved that gender and heartbeat have no relation.


    But they are fun!
  • Mine never got under 150 and my doc told me it meant a girl. He said he's usually right when he goes by it and I am in fact having a girl.

  • My midwife swore I was having a boy because of hb.....nope, I had a girl. This time I'm waiting for the scan lol x
  • I'm having a boy. These were his heart rates for last 4 visits. 154/ 161/ 140/ 120
  • My lil ones heart rate was 158 to 160 they said its a girl and I'm having a girl. I'm really excited I wanted another girl I have 1 boy and that's enough for me
  • I'm having a girl and my first appt her heartbeat was 160-something, 2nd her hb was 150-something and at my 3rd her hb was 139...I don't think the heartbeat has anything to do with it

    My girls heartbeat has been anywhere from 120bpm - 187bpm. How high or low the heartbeat is depends on if you catch them sleeping or being active, definitely has nothing to do with gender. All the old wives tales lied to me lol oh well all in good fun :)
  • My husbands aunt is pregnant with her 4th and said it was the complete opposite with her from what the wives tale said for each of her pregnancies! she has 2 girls and 1boy (1 boy on way)
  • @laurenmarie7291 My BF would love for it to be opposite for me too.... he wants a boy... we both have 2 girls (mine are 14 & 11...his are 11 & 9) he also has an 18 year old son..... even though i already have my girls.. i sooooooo want another girl... all my friends want me to have a boy... (because i already have girls) and my daughters are insisting its a boy.... im happy with whatever i get... but these wives tales are ticking me off.. LOL
  • @rockinmomma Im a jumble of wives tales... LOL I can only eat meat and potatoes and salty spicy foods..

LOL
  • My Heartbeat Was High && I Got A Girl
  • Mine was in 160s at first then 150s second time and its a boy. Doc didn't tell me this time
  • It's not true... my baby is a girl and her HR has always been 140
  • yall got me thinking im having a boy :( my baby hb was 140-145 but next week we will know :p
