On my dd i kept a note of babs heartbeat it was always above 140 even when she was asleep. I had read somewhere that you can tell sex of baby by heartbeat if its under 140 its a boy and above 140 its a girl. My friend was preg exact same time as me and her babs heartbeat was always below 130 and she had a boy.
So just wondering if any of you had noticed this on your last baby and if it worked out to the above theory, i am going to keep a note this time to see if im right .

When I was brought into be induced there was another girl with me and we had monitors on and my babs heartbeat was under 140, hers was over and she was telling me I was defo going to have a boy and she a girl and it was the other way around!!!!

Sorry I'm another one to blow that theory away. I was told at my 17 week scan it was definately a girl. However a doctor told me a few weeks ago it was a boy and have had loads of scans since and sonographer told me def a boy even showed us his little boy bits so no mistake. I've been on the monitor all week and always his heartbeat is ranging from 145-160. Very rarely goes under and if it does its only for a few secs.

I asked my doctor about it and she said it's an old wives' tale
