I don't go by the heart rate because my sons has been 175 for all appts except my last appt it was 145. My first pregnancy my daughters was always between 120 and 160
I agree, it is an old wives tale! Congrats on the pregnancy, you can get a gender scan (most accurate around 20 weeks I think)

My baby girl was always above 150 but at 20weeks she was 138bpm.. they said she was asleep and very relaxed compared to the other appointments where she was very awake. but at 20 weeks we were both low on oxygen levels and i was sick.
That isn't necessarily true. I had a boy and his hb was 156 and above the whole time
Typically girls are above 150, so I would say girl. I will be having boy#2 and they were never above 150.
