Heart rate vs sex of baby?????

I went to my apt. today and I wanted to know is the tale true or did some of you have a girl with a slow heart rate? My baby's HR was 128 and the Dr. said 'the tale would say your having a boy'. Want some opinions. TIA Sorry for the silly question.

Off the path, but...How far along are you? Last sono my baby's heartbeat was 181! I thought it was so high!

I am 15 weeks PG. I go for my sono in 5 weeks to find out what i am having, I just wanted to know if there have been people with boys with high heart rates and girls with low HR? I don't know what the normal range is either for a baby's HR. I thought mine was low.

My baby boy typically had a higher heart rate (160ish)..so he didn't follow the tale. At times it was low but for the most part he was high.

It just an old wives tale. Normal fetal heart range is about 110's-160's.

Emmas heart rate was 130-140 and Jeremys was 120-130. the only time the heart rates change (lower for boys) is when you are in labor.

I know it sound silly to even ask I just wanted to know how true or false the tale was. Thanks for the input.

My technician was actually talking about how that's a complete myth. My boy's heart rate has been 140 or around there every time.

I had a boy and his heartrate was always in the high 140s

While DH and I do not want to know the sex of the baby - according to the myth we should be expecting a boy. Let's wait and see....

All throughout my PG my baby's heartrate was high 130's to low 140's. I knew it was a boy!

Total tale! I found out Monday I'm having a girl and her heart rate was 135 that day!

I actually asked the doctor if there was any truth to this and he said 'NO' It was just an old wives tale..
For the last 3 doctors visits, my baby's heart rate has been 140's, 150's and the last one 130's.... He said that the heart rate often varies and you'll get a range of numbers.
