I thought boy's hr was supposed to be high and girls lower....which would make more sense when you consider how active they are after they come out - the saying is true that boys are made of "...puppy dog tails" my first hasn't sat still in the 5 years since he's been born!

I have 4 sons currently and all 4 of them had bpm in the 160s throughout my pgs. This time bpm was 176 the first apt and last time was 167 but to early for  me to find out what im haven yet.

Not saying I believe this is always the case. But my baby's heart rate at 10 weeks was 180 and at 14 weeks it was about 156. And it's a girl. So I don't know; it worked that way for me.

You have a 50% chance of it being a girl :-) my boy was over 150 at last scan and girl was under for each of her scans so opposite of the wives tale for us :-) x

My baby's heart rate was 154 so people are saying girl as well but I know waaaaay too many people that it's not been true for. I agree it's hard to not get your hopes up though! I won't find out for a few more weeks.. It's killing me!

That's an old wives tale, I told my Dr that too and she laughed at me!  Lol it's fun to guess though!
