Previous pregnancies and heart rate

[brittany12]

So this is my 3rd pregnancy 2nd Baby. I'm curious to see how many people had the "old wives tales" of heart rate being correct.

My DD heartbeat was always in the 150's so couldn't tell much with her

This pregnancy at 7 weeks was 127bpm and at 9 weeks 167 bpm.. I'm leaning towards this being a boy but I am so not sure anymore!


What about you?

I'm currently pregnant with my first and he is very much boy. Heart rate has never been below 160.

My son always had a high heart rate, in the 160s from the beginning.

My DD was always 160s and up. My son always 130s

My two boys never got above 146. This one is 173 and I'm definitely thinking girl based on a ton of other details.

I don't think heart rate is a predictor at all. My first daughter's heart rate was in the 150's, my second daughter's in the 140's and now this pregnancy is another girl and she's been steadily in the 160's.

My sons' heart rates were 145, 160 and 180. My daughters' were 160 and 150.

Both of my girls were 140-150 bpm. Only a couple of times did they get 160 but never any higher. Both of my boys were always 160-180 bpm. They rarely fell below that so for me the old wives tales were opposite.

This bun has always hung around 135-145 and he's a boy . But as you see from my sig he was very much boy for more tales. I joke it's because SO takes pride in being a "man's man" so he takes after him lol
