She says that after doing it for 15 years she has noticed no correlation between gender and heart rate and that the idea girls' heartbeats are higher/faster is simply a wives' tale. She said that the heart rate just depends on whether or not the baby is active or has recently been active, or if it is sleeping/not moving etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149318 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:36:46 +0000 Andrea 149318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: i asked that the last time but she did not want to say. :-P i guess i could have just taken that to mean - girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149317 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:35:49 +0000 chopsuey 149317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: We'll probably wait :T I'm gonna ask my tech if she can guess the gender when we go in for our 12 week ultrasound. haha. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149311 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:32:13 +0000 Andrea 149311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yeah, mine did that too but i read on the boards that people go for those 4D things to find out sooner. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149305 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:31:06 +0000 chopsuey 149305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: My ob does the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. no sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149297 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:19:45 +0000 Andrea 149297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Awesome, are you going to find out before 20 weeks? </p> <p>It has been so fun!! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149291 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:12:39 +0000 Sweet T 149291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 12 weeks, DS's heart rate was in the 170s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149290 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:11:04 +0000 chopsuey 149290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm obviously obsessing over what we're having.

Since they started measuring him on doppler, he's been 140's and 150's (but 150's closer to beginning of second tri). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-ultrasound-heart-rate-and-gender#post-149283 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:04:56 +0000 chopsuey 149283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who have the information. I'm curious if there's a correlation between early heart rate and gender.</p> <p>LO's heart rate at 6 weeks 5 days was: 148/149<br /> Baby #2's heart rate at 6 weeks 5 days was: 139/140</p> <p>I had both first ultrasounds at 6weeks5days! Both were performed on the 4th of the month too. Haha. :) </p>
