heart rate

Hey ladies, so ive heard a couple wives tales about the heart rate and gender.
but I've heard it go both ways about which gender has the higher heart rate.
just curious as to hear what everyone thinks ill be having.
At my 7 week ultrasound, my baby's heart rate was 165

I know they're not true, I just think they're interesting to hear and see if some of them actually come true.
im hoping its a boy, but I won't find out until May

With my mother in law the boy were in the 140 and girls were 160s. My baby's heart rate is in the 140s and I have a feeling its a boy. But I know its different for everyone.

Mine was also high and having a boy. The myths are not true at all.

They're old wives tales.. they're not true.
You won't know what you're having until you get blood work or an ultrasound done.  
My daughters heartbeat was around that.
At 31 weeks it was 143.

I don't put much faith into any of the old wives tales. They're fun but definitely not a real predictor. So anyway all three of my first kids had heart rates in the 160s. I had two girls and one boy. The baby I'm pregnant with now has a heart rate that ranges from the high 140s to the mid 150s and it's a girl.
