what was your baby's HR during pregnancy??

[ubba82]

OK so its getting towards the end of my pregnancy and of course I am just about going crazy wondering if Im having a girl or a boy. Just to get a feel for the 'old wives tale', was your baby's HR above or under 140 and what did you have??

[Tinks]

My 1st was about 140 (can't remember the exact rate) and was a boy

The other 2 were 155 ish and both were girls.

[Twin Sister]

It was around 130 and we had a boy.

[GabberQueeN]

mine is 140 and it's a boy.

[Arimeh]

I think DS was around 140. DD was around 150/145 something like that.

This one is around 141/143 - and I'm DYING to know what it is!!!!! I'll have to wait and see like you too!

ETA - but when I asked my OB what she thought about the old wives tale - she reassured me that its a pile of crap cos if its slower its just that the baby is resting, and if its faster, they're dancing

Ah ha mel, i thought Mia was having a party in there!!

Mine was 176 @ 12 weeks and only went as low as 155 ish. And we have a girl. that was until she was in distress in labour and went from 170 down to 85

so the old wives tale was right for me.

DD1 was about 154bpm at 12 weeks but I do not remember later in my pregnancy.

DD2 was about 156bpm at 12 weeks and has been hovering around 142bpm since about 20 weeks.

DS was always 130-140 by memory...

Can't remember my first two, but this one is as follows -
7 wk scan - 156
12 wk scan - 155
17wk scan - 145
19 wk scan - 133

The last two scans confirm i'm having a boy.

My first 3 had heart rates under 140bpm and all were boys.. Our 4th had a heart rate above 150bpm and we had a girl

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

At my very first scan with DD (8 weeks) it was 182bpm and then for the rest of the pregnancy the lowest it went was 148bpm

[*TripleJ*]

mine were late in preg but
31w 135bpm
34w 146bpm
36w5d 120 bpm
37w1d 142 bpm
but i do remeber at the first scan it was 135 and 125 at the second scan
so old wives tale some wat true here 2 for a boy

[Nai]

Both girls were over 150bpm

[HollyC]

I think DD was always in the 150s.

[rustygirl]

my boy's was between 140-145
