Question??

I am having me first full term pregnancy and I am excited but the obgyn said that it was going to be a good pregnancy I have been in and out of the hospital for hypermesis which means where I get overly sick for no apparently reason. They sound everything is fine the baby but that the heartbeat is 179 beats;two questions is that normal and does that mean I am having a girl or a boy.

You can't determine the gender with heart rate,  it's a myth. Goodluck with everything though

You can't tell gender by heart rate, but 179 is normal.

Heart rate doesn't determine gender, it's just an old wives tale unfortunately. My baby is a boy and his heart rate ranged from 140-170!
