Answer 1

if the baby's heart beat is more than 140 than it is a baby girl..

Answer 2

I've had ultrasounds of all three of my kids before they were born and asked everytime what the normal heart rate was for the baby. I was always told an unborn baby's heartrate is normally twice that of an adult (60-100 bmp), which gives a range of 120-200. Also depends on activity level... In my opinion there is no scientific proof that the heart rate can determine the sex of the child, otherwise we would have a lot less surprises in the delivery room and save a lot of money on ultrasounds that determine sex (like I did for all 3 of my kids)... some as early as 16 weeks. Depending on where you live, you could see a radiologist that specializes in ultrasounds to determine the sex for a fee much more affordable than what a hospital charges. I saw the same radiologist all three times, 2 1/2 years ago being the most recent and he only charged $120 for an 45 minute appointment. I left each time with still photos, a video and knowing the sex of the baby. I recently had an ultrasound performed at the hospital, didn't get any photos or videos, but did get a bill before insurance for $900.

Q. I have recently heard that the heart rate of a fetus can usually predict the gender of the baby. For example, if the heart rate is consistently over 140, it's usually a girl; under 140, it's usually a boy. Is this true? My baby has ranged from 150 to 155 beats per minute.

A. This belief is based on the fact that women usually have higher metabolic rates than men and, therefore, have a slightly higher pulse rate.

Actually, there is no correlation between fetal heart rate and gender -- and it has been studied. This is an "old wive's tale" that will not die.

Having said that, it is fun to try to guess gender based on heart rate, and because we have no other ways of doing this (short of amniocentisis and ultrasound), it is harmless enough.

You will find, too, that as gestation advances and your baby's neurological system matures, the heart rate will slow a bit. So, it looks like we all start out female, which genetically happens to be true.

Again, another old wives tale

Answer 4

As many have said, this is a definate borderline. Our son's heartbeat was anything up to around 165 before he was born. My mother is a midwife and listened and took a guess and kept it secret. She wrote down a girl based on the beats per minute but bought a 'it's a boy' balloon because she was so certain it was a boy as a gut instinct despite the heartbeat. He was - and still is just a very active boy and hence he had a higher heartbeat. Also, they tend to get agitated at the ultrasounds, so it could be a boy who's a bit fed up of being poked at!! It's so much fun guessing, and all the way a long the heartbeat indicated a girl but I was still overjoyed when we had a little boy - and the surprise was even greater!!

Answer 5

Normal babies heart rates are around 110 - 160 beats a minute, however this can change with activity. For instance if your baby has a normal rate of for instance 120 beats a minute (caled a base line rate) and the baby is active this rate will rise (called an acceleration) to as much as 170 or 180 just as our heart rate goes up if we exercise. Howver this will settle again to its baseline afterwards. As babies mature their baseline tends to decrease right through to adulthood (children have a faster heart rate than adults but slower than babies). Despite what people tell you heart rate is not gender specific, if it was we would not need to detemine sex by scan. You will always here people tell you that they guessed the sex of their baby by its heart rate howver this is just guess work and has a 50/50 chance of being right. If you had a 50/50 chance of winnig the lottery there is a good chance that you would win.

Answer 6

Both my girls had heartbeats of 130 -135 beats per minute at 36 weeks onward. So, in truth, the only way to know the gender is either, book a private scan ( around £200) or wait until it's born.

Good luck.

Answer 7

When I was expecting one of my babies the nurse said the heartbeat was 150-something (I don't recall exactly). She then volunteered with a somewhat cautious tone, "There's an old wives' tale that says if the heartbeat if over 150 its a girl."

The baby was a girl. It is with the reminder that I was told this was an old wives' tale that I've shared this. I wonder, though, if it has something to do with girls' having higher rates of metabolism than boys may - but again, that's just something I wonder.

Answer 8

The heartbeat method of telling is not very accurate. My baby's heart rates were right around that. The before delivery, I was told by heart rate, I was having a boy. The next day, I have a beautiful baby girl.

However, in my sister's case, they rates we lower, and was told with both pregnancies, she was having girls. She had two boys.

Just be hopeful that you have a healthy baby, no matter what, and be suprised.

Answer 9

normally 140 or less is a boy.. but today in my ultrasound the heartrate was 178 and I am habing a boy. The tech said if they are sleeping, the heartrate can go to 120... so it is not gender thing...
