Hey ladies, its been awhile since Ive been on. I found out I was PG in april and I'm now 3 months along. Ive gone to 3 doctor appointments and have heard my baby's heart beat twice. It is beating at about 160 beats a minute. My fiance and I dont want to find out what the sex is until its born. Everyone i know is telling me that I'm going to have a girl because the heart beat is so fast, and boys are so slow, is that true? Thats the question I need some advice on.
Let me know when you can!! Congrats to all the ladies got a BFP since Ive been on!!!!

Thanks
Mi'chelle

Hey Lucky

Great to hear from you and really glad you and bub are doing well. I have heard that girls heart rate is higher than boys but I dont know at what range it is, so not sure looking at your babies heart rate if its a girl or boy. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and I hope you have a wonderful birth and healthy baby whatever it is. Any names picked out yet?

Hi Lucky

My sister just had a baby boy in March and the heartrate always ran high during the pregnancy. So no, it's not a sure way to see if its a boy or girl. I think it's just a fun thing to track and see what happens!

God bless your pregnancy and hope you have a healthy baby!

Hi lucky23!

I think a lot of that "how to predict" stuff is just fun folklore. That being said, I just knew that I was going to have a boy, even when my first ultrasound tech said that it was a girl. (Apparently a penis can look like labia in utero!).

Anyway. Congratulations. I also recommend joining the pregnancy board of this site. I practically lived there while I was pregnant.

I have also heard that girls heartrate is usually faster than boys; however, I had a boy and his heartrate was usually around 150 or 160 too, which made me think I was having a girl the whole time I ws pg! Then he was born & was a boy, so it was a big surprise! I think it's just different for every baby.
