How much do you believe it and was it accurate for you?
At 7 weeks and 2 days Twin A's heart rate was 160 and Twin B's was 156 now we already have 2 DD's and a very missed DS in baby heaven and although I'll be grateful for just healthy bubbas but at the same time I'm going to be absolutely shattered if we have 2 girls, I can cope with one of each but these are our last and I really want a little boy
The HB myth is just that, a myth... There are a couple of studies that have proven it as such.
I hope you have at least one little boy in there :) and I hope they are happy and heathy. If you have a scan at 12 weeks I will be happy to see if I can see any gender clues from any pics that you get.

I know it is a myth, but the heart rate thing has been right for all of my babies.
I don't know the myth.... But ds had a heart rate of 156 bpm at 8 weeks
And he's a boy hahaha ;)
The ring test ( where you swing your wedding ring over your belly) was also RIGHT !!!!!!!
I have been testing this myself with labour CTG traces and guessing and I must say out of approx 30 I have only guessed one wrong based on the HR. I know its just a myth but from my viewing of CTG traces in labour there does seem to be a difference between girls and boys. Also I have noticed boys seem to have more decelerations in their heart rates then girls do. This is looking at term babies during labour however.
Tanya that would be GREAT!!
Mum2romone- how do you do the ring test and what stage of pregnancy although it probably wouldn't work with twins if they are one of each

I know its a myth....but that said so far it's been accurate for my two kids (will let you know in a few weeks if its 'three times a charm') ;).
It's side to side for boy and circles for a girl.
I guess if it did both it would be one of each
I'm interested now to see what it does. We were 17 weeks pregnant so I had a little belly. I had just popped.
who's wedding ring? and how do you do it?
Absolute myth... I have two boys and Brendan's heart rate was always around 165+ BPM and Tristan's was 130-140ish BPM.
Also did the ring test (solid gold ring on a piece of string) was wrong for Brendan but right for Tristan.
I had a bit of a lightbulb moment during my 12 week scan and said that surely the heartrate would go up and down depending on how active the baby had been/was when it was measured, just like ours does... and the dr doing the ultrasound looked at me as if to say, "Well, duh." and nodded.
I guess in the end it's always 50/50 either way, right? I really hope you get at least one boy :)
It's YOUR wedding ring balanced on a dtrand of your hair, and check to see it's the same with your husbands ring ( not hair ) lol
I want to know lol
Im sure its just a myth. But if it helps, DD's was over 175, so abit higher than that.
It was right for all three of mine - but off for this one. Heart rate is 142, and apparently a girl, whereas DS was exactly the same heart rate.... and the girls were higher...
Well, my DD was confused, because by the 'heart rate myth' she was a boy the first time and a girl the second. And I should have a younger brother, not two sisters. ;)
thanks everyone sssoooo from the posts its 50/50ish to whether its been right or not so still every chance i'll see at least 1 doodle!
Hey with the chinesse luna one. It says mothers age at conception. Now we conceived in July & my birthday is in July so do I go by 29 even though I would have been 30 a week later?
:bump:
So what is the myth exactly, girls HR are higher and boys lower....but what are the approx numbers? This bub seems to be in between...maybe its a hermaphrodyte....LOL. It's heart rates have been 146bpm @ 7wks, 157 @ 18wks and 159 @ 29wks. Though 18wk U/S said boy, I still have it in my head that there's a chance it's a girl! Maybe just wishful thinking!
