bpm- beats per minute.

At my first ultrasound today, (12 weeks) my baby's heart rate measured 160bpm. I've had two boys and when I was pregnant with them I had a steady 140 with them. I wonder if it's a girl this time. Can anyone tell me if it's true about the heart rate indicating a boy or girl, please?

Best wishes to everyone.

My toddler, girl was always 150 hb. My current pregnancy is the same and this one is a boy so i don't believe that. I DO however believe in the ring test, i stand by it 100%, it's been right with my babies and friends. Hold a ring on a necklace over your belly, if it goes in circles girl, back and forth boy.

Old wives tale!! My first was a girl  always 140's! Pregnant with my second & is also around 140!!

My son's heart rate was so consistently 164 that we called him "Little 164" for  months.

My baby has been at 140 every appointment and it's a girl. The bbm is just an old wives tale.

Its just an old wives tail. Sometimes girls will have a higher heart rate, sometimes boys will have a higher heart rate. All three of mine (2 boys 1 girl) had hearts that stayed around 140.
