Train tracks or horse galloping?

Question

I saw a video recently on TikTok that if your baby’s heartbeat sounds like a train on the tracks it’s more likely a boy and if it sounds like a horse galloping then it’s more likely a girl..
How true is this? Has anybody else heard this? 
I can’t remember the sounds of my 1st (girl) and 2nd (boy) but currently on my 3rd baby and was told he’s a boy. Defo sounds like train tracks 🤭

Answer

The train tracks sound is placenta or the swooshing of the cord and the galloping sound is the heart beat…. That’s how our midwives always told me they knew what they were listening for

Answer

I don’t think you can accurately predict gender by HB sound. Theoretically, there should be both whooshing and train track sounds in each boy and each girl. My doctor said the whooshing is the placenta and the train track or horse clopping is the HB so the gender thing seems like an old wives tale. There’s also a wives tale that says if the HB is faster it’s a girl and if it’s slower it’s a boy so I thought I was having a girl but my boy has steadily had 155-160bpm
