Heartbeat - Old wives tales????

[Mrsctobe]

also the tale if you have bad sickness its a girl is also rubbish lol x

My little guy's heartbeat has always been above 140 usually in the 150's, so I don't believe this old wives tales. I also had bad morning sickness which people kept telling me meant I was having a girl but the ultrasound at 20 weeks showed him to be a boy!

At 9 weeks the hb was 179 and at 12 weeks it was 169. That things about higher = more often in Ds babies freaks me out cause mine has always seemed so high to me.

Aw I posted something a few weeks ago, as I heard my babies heartbeat on Xmas eve and it was considerably slower than I remember my three girls being. I was convinced I was having a boy.....gender scan two weeks ago showed another girl! So I don't believe in these any more

Also, I had no morning sickness/nausea with my first two, moderate (both) with my third and bad nausea but no actual vomiting, with my fourth little girl, so far.....

I've heard the same, over 140 girl, under 140 boy ... Although, I'm having a boy and the only time his HB was under 140 was at 7 weeks right after the heart had formed so of course it was not quite as strong and it came back at 125. Since then, it's been around 142-145.

Had my gender scan yesterday, it's a girl.

no morning sickness = boy = WRONG

over 140 BPM = girl = RIGHT, my baby's HB is 153 BPM

My babies hb was about 160 today. I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow. Does that sound too high? Should I be worried?

Nah, that's very normal.

My first was below 140 and he was a boy..this time around my LO's HB is a whopping 165 and we had a boy guess so we shall see if it's right or not!!

Mine was 168bpm and has been over 150 since the first time and its definitely a boy !
