could I be having a boy?!?

Am 17weeks today this is my 3rd pregnancy and am really enjoying this time around! Not big at all not like I was when pregnant with my daughters! This time my baby is low and heart beat is 119 I find out jan 2 if its a boy/girl. Am waiting to know how many of the mothers out there who had/having boys are carrying them low? I've heard if you're carring high its a girl if low its a boy is this true?

All these things are old wives tales..even the heartbeat thing. I carried low with my daughter and carrying high with my.sonevery pregnancy is different regardless of gender. Dont get your hopes up just wait until your gender scan :)

I am carrying low with both of my pregnancies but the heart rate did work for me. My daughter was 150-160 my son is 119-130 so the heart rate works for me to.

Sorry I'm carrying low and it's definitely a girl. The way you carry depends on the individuals tummy muscles.

Lol Im only going by hb because its never failed me yet lol. My boys were in the 140s and my daughter the 150s-160s. Another reason why Im thinking girl this time cause first hb was in the 160s and second was high 150s xD Still trying to not get my hopes up though cause I know the us will be my only certainty.

lol my boy's heartbeat was always in the 150's, and I'm carrying pretty low. But I have a friend who is carrying REALLY high and perky and she's also having a boy. I wouldn't bank on the way you're carrying or a heart rate, although it is fun to play around with.

The hb being 119 though is a good indicator of a boy. Girls usually run higher. But again - not gonna say youre having a boy just on that just in case :-)

Ive heard the opposite but really not an exact thing lol. Only way to find out for sure is a gender scan. My pregnancies with boys were difficult ones. This one is surprisingly easy and Im praying for a girl as I have a 7yr old daughter.
