Comments on: Can Fetal Heart Rate Predict Gender?

My first son had a heart rate at one time at 167bpm and his heart rate always stayed in the 150’s. I do not believe this theory is true because if it was true he would have been a girl. I am pregnant with my 2nd child and we will find out next month if it is a girl or boy. The heart rate has been maintaining around the 150 range. I guess you really dont know until you have a ultrasound because the theory of determining gender by heart rate failed on me the 1st time I was pregnant.

Just the opposite for me. I have 2 girls and 2 boys and the boys were the higher FHR (150-170) and the girls were lower (120-140)!

The last time i was pregnant the heart rate was always high- between 145-150 and I had a girl. We are hoping for a boy this time and the heart rate has been slower being around 125-130 (i am only 10 weeks). I’ll keep my fingers crossed- but will love whatever god gives me:)

My midwife also went by this rule, and also accurately predicted my son was a boy. His heart beat always ranged 125 to 135.
