As the old wives' tale has it, if your unborn baby's heart rate is higher, above 140 beats per minute, that means you're carryingenCommunityServer 2007.1 (Debug Build: 20917.1142)http://www.in-gender.com/cs/blogs/gender_selection_news/archive/2006/01/07/5031.aspx#5360Fri, 13 Jan 2006 22:44:20 GMT98f8303f-e5ee-4260-b4ef-b1490162acf4:5360momoftwoboysA coworker of mine is expecting twins in May. Everyone kept telling her that she was having b/g twins because one heartbeat was faster than the other heartbeat. Well, she found out via ultrasound that she is having twin boys! So much for that heartbeat theory!<img src="http://www.in-gender.com/cs/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5360" width="1" height="1">http://www.in-gender.com/cs/blogs/gender_selection_news/archive/2006/01/07/5031.aspx#5039Sat, 07 Jan 2006 23:00:15 GMT98f8303f-e5ee-4260-b4ef-b1490162acf4:5039Nan01I was 27 weeks at my last appointment, and my doctor asked if I knew what I was having. When I told him &quot;boy,&quot; he said that was his guess, based on the heart rate. When I told him that I thought that was an old wive's tale, he said that he can often tell at this stage of pregnancy or later. However, it does not work in early pregnancy. (And that's when we all want to know!) <img src="http://www.in-gender.com/cs/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5039" width="1" height="1">http://www.in-gender.com/cs/blogs/gender_selection_news/archive/2006/01/07/5031.aspx#5033Sat, 07 Jan 2006 18:19:37 GMT98f8303f-e5ee-4260-b4ef-b1490162acf4:5033happymomYou know what is weird is that I always thought that it was an old wive's tale, however I was at my last appointment and the nurse said she thought the baby was a girl based on the heart rate. I laughed thinking she was kidding and she said &quot;don't paint the nursery but she really has seen that trend.&quot; I then mentioned this to my friend and she had the same experience except it was her doctor that had made reference to her baby's heart rate and its' gender. <img src="http://www.in-gender.com/cs/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5033" width="1" height="1">
