Whats your babies heart rates been your enitre pregnancy
I will be 12 weeks next tuesday ..Next friday I go in for NT scan and possible gender if they can tell... My lo Heart rate my so far has been 150 to 160 I really really really Want a girl this is my last child and I have two boys already .. I know you cant really go by heart rate for gender but what has your babies heart rates been through out your pregnancy and what are you having ??
With my last one his heart rate started out in the 160-170's but with time he slowed down to the 130-140's about midway thru preg. I know my daughters was always in the 160-170's and can't remember the middle boys in the beginning but i know by the end he settled into the 130-140's. Good luck on getting a little girl.....i know it seems to be raining boys here of late.....it would be nice to start evening things up...lol.

My son's heart rate was in the 150's around 12 weeks and slowed down to the 140's for a long time, and at the very end was in the 120's to 130's. It's normal for baby's heart rates to slow down as they grow. One of my OB's partners that I saw once said she doesn't ever tell people the heart rate because they are always trying to guess gender by it and its just not possible and is just an old wive's tale.
I have also heard that genitals aren't distinguishable until at least 15-16 weeks gestation. They start out looking very similar. He is a website that shows the stages of genitals: http://www.baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.html
That being said, I know there are people that will disagree and say they knew the gender very early on. So you never know! Good luck getting your girl :)
Very cool gender website....It makes sense why you can't tell if the baby is at the 12 week mark...I always wonder if the reason some can tell at this point is that they are really further along...I mean due dates can be based on LP, but like with me, I can tell you the day I conceived only due to cir****tances, and I am really about 4 days short of the actual due date they give me. Dr. says if it's within 10 days they use your last period...ten days can make someone much further along in this development than others....
Again, very interesting...
