I am sure this topic has been brought up
already but I am curious to know if it is
true.
I am 11 1/2 weeks and heard the heartbeat
yesterday. So neat! Anyways, it was in
the 160's and people are telling me that
means it is a boy?? Or is it opposite?
Share your experiences!

I recently had an ultrasound and the the
doctor said that to me also - but he said
the slower heartbeat was a boy, and the
faster was a girl.
He said he wasn't aware of any medical
evidence to support it, he just found that
around 90% of the time he was correct.

Whenever I heard that I asked my doctor
about it and she said that she totally
doesnt believe any of the myths...She said
that most of them make no sence ..So I
really wouldnt go by them if I were you
...But people are different and believe
different things so ..Im not the one who
will tell you what to think... :wink:

It worked with my granbaby's. Even
though I know it is a wives tale. The
girl much faster, and the boy much slower.
I believe that is how it was. They
told us a range and neither ever crossed
that range either, except in labor.

It has always held true for people I have
known. My doc says it is about 90%
accurate. Boy-under 140, girl-over 140.
My son was always in the 120's.

Sorry my son's heart beat is always pretty
high. Last time it was 156 and the time
before that he was 168.

Thanks for the replies! Sounds about as
accurate as the chinese gender predictor.
