Hi Girls
I know this is a stuiped question to ask, but this is a pic of my bump at 13 Weeks and 4 Days , i am dieing to know if it's a boy or girl, what does my bump look like it might be ? Ive heard that some bumps sit lower if they are a boy . i am hoping for a girl, i also know that it may not go on what the bump looks like but i just want some closure lol, hard to explain  Im not getting my hopes up just yet

You look great!
No idea whether you're having a girl or a boy though, some people think if you're carrying all out front it's a boy and all round for a girl but it could be the other way around. I have a totally different bump than last time and I've got one boy and another boy on the way. I think my bump is different than last time because Sam sat really low until 37 weeks when he turned breech and this one is sitting really high but is posterior. Not long to wait until your 20 week scan though!

Bubie did you have a 20 week scan? cos they say if the heart rate is 120bpm then its more likely gonna be a boy.........i think thats right from what ive heard
Anyone feel free to correct me |

On your 12 week scan they should have been able to pick up the heart beat, I know this is an old wives tale but it goes something like this, 145bpm or less is more likely to be a boy and 145bpm or more likely to be a girl. At the 12 week scan my bub had a pulse rate of 151 (meaning girl) at the 20 week scan it was confirmed. Upon talking with my sister (she has 2 girls) both her kids showed pulse rates higer than 145bpm, I don't know how reliable the heart beat method is but there could be something in it... Stange thing is I knew long before I had any scans that It was having a girl, I had a different way of working things out. -------------

Generally anything over 140bpm indicates a boy, but in saying that, when my MW puts the doppler on me his heartrate changes dramatically cause babies don't like dopplers much. There have been studies done into whether there is any relation between heartrate and gender and the general consensus is no, there is no relation between gender and heart rate. None of the old wives tales are set in stone either, there is the odd few that conform to the tales, but I would say most babies don't.
Lou - I think it's girls all out front, boys spread out. But then my boy goes out front and round my sides. LOL
Bubie - I'm afraid you're probably going to have to wait for the 20 week scan like everyone else. And unfortunately, even that isn't a gaurantee. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

definitely under 150 for a boy(in theory) ...
i constantly got comments about how he must be a boy.. and the last mw was convinced because his heartbeat was under 150 all the time..and it has been true with this baby too always under 150:) i also get told he must be a boy cause i was carrying low..but now I'm not and still get comments..lol ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

DD had heartrate of 150 or more, this little man has a heartrate of 165 or so.
Also with dd I was all round and bump was rounder and higher This time its all out front ! Although I know a girl who with her boy all round and put on weight everywhere, thenw ith her girl was all out front. |

the heart rate is exactly that an old wives tail - my friend at her 12 week scan baby heart rate was 172 and hes born now and definately a BOY.
My girl at 20 weeks was 155 and my boy was 152. The ring test is spose to be the most accurate Sorry have ni idea on you bump - I am useless at things like that. I know you really want a girl but boys are soooo cool and in the end when you have bubs in your arms it won't matter what ever he or she is. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Based on heart rate both my mw and all the hospital mw during labour thought jake was a girl... nope!
I also carried all around which is supposed to be a girl and nope! Only 2 people thougth I was having a boy by looking at me.... we were a bit suprised when he was born LOL I am not sure based on your bump but my "gut" says boy... cant wait to see if I am right -------------

I carried all out the front with my boy and I'm carrying all out the front again but i'm having a girl this time. Their heart beat s have both been similar too. Oh and i carried low with my boy and am carrying really low already this time. It wasn't till later on with my son that my belly dropped.
I say boy for you. -------------
