160 beats per minute

Amy had her doctor's appointment today and the doctor listened to the heartbeat. It was 160 beats per minute. The belief is that if the heart beat exceeds 140 beats per minute, it tends to be a girl because girls have faster heart beats. Boys tend to have 140 beats or lower per minute. However, they also say that women who experience a lot of morning sickness early in their pregnancy tend to have girls. Amy had very little morning sickness with a fetal heart rate of 160 per minute so they both send confusing signs as to what the gender will be. We'll find out soon enough. Stay tuned . . .
