Is this too high?

Question

I’m 8 weeks and went to the doctor and the babies heart rate was 178... Does this mean it’s a girl then? Can’t really make much out of the ultrasound it’s blurry lol but I looked online and it said the normal is up to 160.

Answer

Heart rate isn't an indication of gender

Answer

If it was too high and your dr was worried they would have said something and it’s definitely not a girl just because the heart beat is high
