INFO:

I often notice couples asking me for the exact heart rate when I check them and winking and smiling at each other😊 It’s a common notion that fetal heart rate (FHR) can indicate whether you're having a boy or a girl. Some believe that a high FHR above 140 beats per minute points to a female fetus, while a lower rate suggests a male. However, extensive research tells a different story. What the Studies Reveal: 👉 A comprehensive 2018 study in the Journal of Maternal-Fetal u0026 Neonatal Medicine analyzed data from over 1,000 pregnancies and found no significant differences in FHR based on fetal sex. 👉 The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published findings from a 2015 review of over 500 pregnancies, concluding that FHR is not a reliable predictor of fetal sex. 👉 A 2012 study in the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine echoed these findings with data from more than 200 pregnancies, showing no correlation between FHR and gender. So, as long as it’s just good fun to guess your baby's sex through heart rate monitoring, it’s fine😊 but just know this idea lacks scientific backing. What truly matters is focusing on your health and your baby's well-being during this precious time. Your doctor will guide you in monitoring your baby's heart rate and overall health – so relax! You'll discover your baby's sex soon enough, and it will be an exciting surprise no matter what! #Debunkmyth #fetalheartrate #babyhealth #pregnancy #motherhealth #enjoypregnancy #gynecology #drasthadayal
