Heart rate and gender, can you really tell??

Question

just curious,

120 at 5wks 5 days

130 at 6wks 5 days

170 at 10wks

is it higher rates for boys or girls? i have both but i never took notice of heartrates.

Answer 1

You can't tell i knew someone who tried it and it was supposed to be a girl but it was a boy

Answer 2

The first time I heard my baby's heartbeat was at 11 weeks and it was 163 BPM so everyone said it HAS to be a girl. It's in fact a girl and it's fluxuated between 140-170 since. It was 158 last week at 34 weeks. I ruled it out as a coincidence though.  

Answer 3

there is some debate, but essentially heart rate is not an accurate indicator of gender. i think the debate is how accurate it is, as i have read that it is more than 50% accurate but still not a reliable way to determine gender.

Answer 4

old wives tale is that if its higher than 140 its a girl.. mine was higher than 140 every single time and im expecting a boy so i dont go by it lol good luck  

Answer 5

I have an 8 month old and I am 5 months pregnant.  I asked my doctor the very question and the answer was no.  The smaller the baby the faster the heart rate.  As the baby grows the HR will slow a bit.   He said it was just an old wives tale

Answer 6

nope everyone told me girls heart rates are higher,but my little boy who will be entering the world monday was always 150,and up! All babys are diffrent:)

Answer 7

Slower boy

Faster girl

When I was pregnant my daughters was always 150 or above and  I had a girl.

Of course this isn't 100% accurate but I think it holds some truth.

Answer 8

nope, sorry its not. It just seems that more times the heartbeat is slower if it is a boy, but its not always true.
