just for fun ?

How many people believe you can predict the sex of your baby by heart rate? Has it actually worked for anyone? I am not one that thinks it's is a guarantee but do know a few friends that have multiple kids and it was right for all of them

My hubby and i looked up a bunch of ol wives tales and about 80% of the tales came out on the boy end and that was including the heart rate tale. Of course some of the tales said it was on the girl end. Im 33 wks tomorrow and we r havin a lil Boy. His heart rate has alway been 140-145 sleepin or active. But who knows i guess thats why they r called "ol wives tales" its still fun to test em out though.

I have one boy and one girl and I really have no idea what this baby will be. I'm only two months though, maybe once I show more I may get a better feel. My hubby thinks it's a girl.

Well Im gonna be the one who bursts everyones bubble...
If your baby is sleeping .... it will have a lower heart rate. If your baby is awake and flipping out it will be higher!
So if your baby is an active boy...he can be mistaken for a girl? And so on... lol
My boys heart rate is always 150/160 anyway. Hes always on the move!

Thoae tales are Myths... I thought I was going to have a girl because the heart rate was above 150 and it turns out that I'm having a boy

Yeah I have two boys and think this one will be a boy to we find out next week what we are having. So for fun I have been trying all the old wives tales all say girl but I still think boy lol babies heart rate is 159 which they say is girl. I just think out family makes boys I have two plus three nephews. I am happy either way though.
