I think 140 is considered the cut-off, according to what I've read. But it really is just an old wives tale, you know  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Below 140 is a boy, above 140 is a girl. but it's a myth. My babys HB is around the 150-155 mark and it's definately a boy. I also read up on a study that has been done and there is nothing to prove that heartbeat relates to gender in any way shape or form. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My mw thought i was having aboy by the heartbeat but nah, and she said she is usually 70% of the time right!!! But i also dont think it counts until 16-17weeks. -------------

Jake was always 150bp, both my mw thought girl based on the heartbeat and the duty mw while I was in labour also thought girl based on the heartbeat. They were all wrong!
But yeah, 140bp is the cut off. -------------
