Heart rate myth or no myth??

Question

So I went to my 12 wk 5 day appt today..baby had a strong heartbeat of 146!! I have three little boys who had heart rates of 165+...but Ive always heard that girls have a higher heart rate and boys have a lower heart rate!! I said to the Dr." Oh it's gonna be a boy and he said no,no,no that's just a myth!" Lol please give me your stories!!! And what do you think this little one might be?

Answer

I was thought to be a boy up until the day I was born because I had a low heartbeat which is associated with boys, this was before mom's got ultrasounds unless there was a medical problem, I was born in 87. But I am for sure a girl.  Nothing is ever 100% fool proof

Answer

Both mine were high they are a boy and girl. Idk this one yet

Answer

I have one boy, 2 girls, and due in 2 weeks with another boy and the heartbeat myth has never rang true for me. It's really just an old myth.
