Curious about the gender of the tiny tenant who's been
subletting your uterus for the past nine months? I believe you are here seeking
for the answer, tips and guides. Guess what? You're not alone my friend. Since
the beginning of time, expectant parents have tried to guess whether the baby
they are carrying is a boy or a girl. Here's the scoop on seven of the most
prevalent myths about predicting the gender of your baby together with the fact
of each myth.
HEARTBEAT
Myth
It is believed that if the heartbeat of the baby is less
than 140 then it will be a baby boy and if the heartbeat exceeds 140, it will
be a baby girl.
Fact
Although this particular myth has been kicking around for
decades, there's only one study on the books that supports it: a 1993 study at
the University of Kentucky that concluded that the fetal heartbeat could be
used to correctly predict the gender of 91% of male fetuses and 74% of female
fetuses. Heart rate will keep varying with pregnancy stages. Keep a check that
it must not go out of the range (normal foetal heart rate is between 110 and
160 beats per minute)
