I read somewhere that a study shows that the heartrate does not tell gender until you are actually in labor. But anyways it was wrong for the last two, and i wont find out until september 18th with this one.

The wives tale is it's higher for girl,  lower for boy, but it was wrong for me. My boy's heart rate was 175 at first, then 160. Eventually it did go down to 150, but that was after we ready knew it was a boy.

Before I found out the sex of my baby her heart rate was high 160s- low 170s. Doc said all babies heart rates are usually higher when real little. But for the past 6+ months my baby girls heart rate has been 129-140. So according to old wives tales I should be having a boy, but nope.
