lol see there was a woman on here that swore in school she did a study on this and anything above 165 was a boy and below was a girl... i just googled it and first page i went to was above 140 girl, under a boy, the next says above 150 boy, below girl... so it depends where you go...

My daughters was always 150...this one is 166 but time will tell :)

Sorry I don't think that is an accurate way to tell.  when my sister was pregnant the heart beat was always between 145 & 155.. and 150 is that magical cut off. She had a girl.  At my appointments it's always been between 145 & 160 and it's a boy.  

2 more weeks and you should be able to find out for sure in an u/s.  Good luck!
