youre right,it is fun to sit around and guess..but until i saw the ultrasound when the tech said"there is the outdoor plumbing",it was anyones guess lol
Thanks for all of your replies.. I dont' really believe the myth too much, its just kinda fun to sit around and guess a little lol... either way I'll be thrilled..
Cant always determine sex by heartrate..Im expecting a boy and at his highest,it was 172.Yesterday was 158..So yes thats normal,but high compared to the myth of boys rate being slower.I had always had the gut feeling it was a boy even though others kept telling me about the whole fast/girl slow/boy..Not sure what affects heartrate though.Im sure whatever the mother is doing affects it.Or when the ultrasound was being done it went up a lil because I think my lil guy was bothered by the poking around lol.. Hes a very active one,so Im not surprised.Well good luck to you!

Hi,
I have 33 months old boy. When I was pregnant always asking my OB about the heartbeat rate. His heartbeat rate always was 120-135 not more than that. I think is depends on the persons.
Best regards,
Sue
I have four boys and am now pregnant with a girl. I always thought the rate of girls was higher than that of a boy but for me it is opposite. My boys were always 150-160 and this one is always about 140-145. I think everyone is different.
I am not sure about the factors that affect the rate, other than the mothers exercise or anxieties, that is what I have heard anyway.
My baby's heart rate in the first trimester was always 167.7 The second trimester I had a couple of readings that were 155.. then this last rate on January 17th was 161. My u/s sound revealed that we are having a girl. Though, my nephews heart rate was just as high as my baby's rate in his mommy's tummy AND they also told her she was having a girl and he popped out with a little tally wacker... lol.. that is what my Grandaddy called it. =)
