    I think if it's over 150bpm it's a boy and under is girl or something along those lines but it really just depends on how long ago the heart started beating and whether there active or resting

    The heart rate myth was correct for my kids too.

    I had terrible heartburn with all 3 pregnancies and all 3 head heaps of hair.

    My babies got smaller, not bigger

    My labour times halved each time

    My 3rd baby was very quiet in utero and was a very calm, quiet baby. She's 11 now and is still pretty cruisy.

    My symptoms weren't that different, i had really really horrible morning sickness with my 3rd & i thought for sure she was going to be a boy but nope she was a she.

    All my babies have gotten bigger but DS was a prem so he was smaller but he would of been bigger had he baked till he was full term.

    My 3rd was my worst labour, it was horrible & i was so scared of going through that again but my 4th labour was fantastic(except for the fact he was early & had to be taken to the SCN right away)

    My labours have gotten shorter each time, 6hrs, 2 & half hours, 82mins & 57mins.

    My DS was pretty quiet in utero & now he's out he is still a super easy little guy. He rarely cries & is always smiling, laughing & chatting away.

    Heart-rate was wrong for 2 of my pregnancies.

    I had shocking reflux & all 4 were born with a full head of hair.
