I’m only 13 weeks pregnant, but thought it would be interesting to ask people a bit further on than me (i.e about 20 weeks) this: They say that if baby’s heartbeat is lower than 140bpm you are more likely to be having a boy. And if the heartbeat is faster than 140bpm you are more likely to be having a girl.
