Hi Leo,

I am now just trying to guess my baby's gender through a couple of mid wives tales as we couldn't predict it when I had my level II ultrasound. So I am simply testing the guessing games:) What is the usual range of heart-beat of your baby when you go for your regular doctor appointments? What was it when you had your level II ultrasound.
I heard if the usual heart beat range is above 140, its a girl and if it is below 140 its a boy. Is this true in your case? Lemme know..!!

Everything else is fine and hope the same from you :)

i am a silent member of this board, but i make it a point to read all msgs.try chineese calenders it works for most. depending on baby heartbeat we cannot predict(my feeling).i have seen in many cases it was wrong. so try for another ultra sound

Even I heard this that if the usual heart beat range is above 140, its a girl and if it is below 140 its a boy. But it is wrong in my case.

I heard the baby's HB first time at 8 wks at it was 162. At my other doc visits HB (using doppler) was 152 and at my Level II u/s it was 150. It was always in the range of 150 and above so I think it is hard to predict. I am maintaing a pregnancy journal so have the record of HB correctly.

Is ur doc planning another u/s at 32-34 wks? This is generally done to see the amount of amniotic fluid, baby position/growth etc, if yes then u cud see the gender. My doc has advised one more u/s at 32-34wks as I have low lying placenta.

Good luck with ur guessing and ask ur OB if u r scheduled for one more u/s.

Take Care and love o ur little one,
Leo
