Heart beat

So i heard the baby heart beat. And it was 151. People say it a boy so idk  and it look like it  but some say it could be. A girl  does the heart beat really  tell the sex of the baby

No you can't determine gender based on heart rate, or any other symptoms for that matter.

My first was a girl and hers was between 160 and 188. Now I'm pregnant with a boy and his also started out at 188 and is now in the 160s. So no it doesn't tell the sex lol.

There's no backing to the heartbeat denoting gender. Both of my babies have been close in range. First was a boy and this is a girl.

I am pregnant with #3 and all my babies have had varying heartbeats. Hasnt mattered on gender. I think that's an old wives tale

My obgyn tol me that it's in the 3rd trimester when your body is preparing for delivery that the heart rate of the baby tells the gender.the reason being is she said for boys its changes. I asked her about this my previous pregnancy.

My 1st boy was always around 120 to 130.  My second boy was a steady 163 at every appointment. The difference between the two is that my first was a toddler who could sit still and cuddle.  My second is always on the go.

Idk I've always believed that lol it was true with both my other kids. My daughter's was always 160-170s and my son's was always between 140-150 & at one point was as low as 136. I just found out I'm pregnant with my 3rd so I'm excited to finally go to my first apt and hear the heartbeat

Well idk if it's true but with my pregnancies the first two boys it was in the 130s and with my daughter it was always in 148 to 160s. This is my fourth baby with a boy and it's always in the 130s.. so it might be right for me..
