1 Can you tell if a baby is male or female by their heartbeat?
Figuring out if your baby is male or female is something that many soon-to-be parents are curious about, and there are plenty of rumored ways to go about doing so. You’ve probably already heard about some of these signs of having a boy or a girl, even if these stories can get a little confusing. We’ll walk you through some of these "old wives' tales" starting with one of the most famous: using your baby’s heartbeat to figure out its sex.
It’s a nice legend, but a baby’s heartbeat is not enough to determine its sex.
It’s popularly believed that in the womb, boys have a heart rate of 120-140 beats per minute, and girls have a heart rate of 140-160 beats per minute. In reality, a fetus’ heart rate ranges anywhere from 120-160 beats per minute and changes depending on what they’re doing. A baby’s heartbeat slows down when they’re asleep, and gets faster while they’re awake.
The fact is, male and female babies have identical heart rates.
A study of a group of first-trimester babies calculated that the baby boys had an average heart rate of 154.9 beats per minute, and girls had an average heart rate of 151.7 bpm. But since both boys’ and girls’ heart rates could be anywhere within around 23 bpm of that rate, it’s impossible to determine the baby’s sex from only knowing their heart rate. [2]
Some say that nausea during pregnancy means it’s a boy.
But others insist it means you’re having a girl. This story in particular gets told both ways, and in truth, feeling nauseous or vomiting during pregnancy is normal no matter the sex of your baby.
Some studies link hyperemesis gravidarum, or severe vomiting and nausea during pregnancy, with having a girl. Hyperemesis gravidarum goes beyond normal nausea and vomiting, and if you find yourself unable to stand up without feeling faint or dizzy, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Girls cause you to crave sweets, and boys create cravings for salt and spice.
While there’s no evidence that the kinds of cravings you have can predict the sex of your baby, there are some studies that show pregnant moms tend to eat more when they have boys instead of girls.
A forward-protruding baby bump means it’s a boy.
Feeling eager to find out the sex of your baby is normal.
Some feelings of anxiety are also typical for expecting mothers and fathers, especially if you’d really hoping for the baby to be a certain gender. Keep in mind, however, that even though many parents are disappointed when their baby isn’t the sex they’d hoped for, over time these feelings will go away as you enjoy the special individual that your child is.
If anxiety over your baby’s sex, or disappointment once you find out what your baby’s sex is, turns into something that affects your mental health, talk to a counselor. They can help you work through your feelings so that you can return to feeling excited about parenthood.
An ultrasound is your best bet to find out the sex of your baby.
