I had my first ultrasound yesterday (9w5d), and the heartrate was 176. Does this mean it is more of a chance of being a girl vs. boy. I heard if it is a faster rate it is more of a chance of a girl. Just curious if anyone with a boy had a fast heartrate. I'll be happy with what ever it is, but it's always fun to guess and wonder : )

i see the other question, and she was mentioning the opposite... faster is boy. Anyway, i was just curious to know if anyone had a boy with a fast heartrate.

Heart rate does not suggest sex in a fetus!! In fact a normal heartrate for a fetus jumps all over the place. One month it can be 176 while the next month it can be 140.

As everyone has said (I believe) it is fiction. Though I've heard that if the babies heartbeat is fast, the baby has a greater chance of being a girl. My daughter's heartrate has gone from 140 to 154 (the highest it's been) and goes back and forth. That's not exactly what I'd call high so ... out goes the old wives tale.
20 weeks ultrasound (the anatomy one) will possibly tell you the gender. Other than that, it's best guesses. heh even with ultrasounds it's sometimes just best guesses.

At my first u/s (9 weeks), my baby's heartrate was 169. I was always told that faster heartrates were girls. And it turns out that I'm having a girl! So that was correct for me. Thinking back to all my friends, it's been the same way. Slower for boys and faster for girls. If I had to guess, I'd say girl.
Good luck!

My girls heartrate last month was 136, and I remember all 3 of my boys were around the same. It doesnt mean anything.

Hi VC24!!
Im not sure as my sister had 3 boy's and ALL 3 were different. I would be excited either way (boy or girl) think of all the fun! A girl...doing her hair/cooking/dancing lessons! And a boy...football,t-ball,cuts and bruises! lol
Congrat's!! Cant wait to see the video of yesterday's ultrasound!!!

The nurses kept telling me my son was going to be a girl because he had a fast heartbeat. Even after the ultrasound, they refused to believe I was going to have a boy. On his first doctor's visit, one nurse was shocked when I walked in with a baby boy. She claimed she had never seen a boy with such a fast heartbeat.
Congratulations! And best wishes!

for me all that is bs and pure fiction.......when I went for my first us at 9 weeks the heart rate of my baby was 176 too. On my 22nd week I found out I was having a girl.

The higher it is the more chances of it being a girl!!!!
Lower then it may be a boy...
