Can you tell the baby's gender from the fetal heart rate?

Many young couples, out of curiosity, want to know whether they are carrying a boy or a girl after they become pregnant. However, due to legal requirements, we cannot be informed in advance, so we have no way to ask the doctor to tell us. There are some traditional names in daily life to distinguish between men and women. So, is it accurate to tell the gender of the baby from the fetal heart rate?

Is it accurate to determine the gender of the fetus from its heart rate?

Fetal heart rate is a common indicator. There has always been a saying in folk customs that fetal heart rate can determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl. The method is relatively simple. However, many people said that they had never heard of this term. So, how to tell the gender of the fetus by its heart rate?

Many people have heard that fetal heart rate can determine whether the fetus is a boy or a girl, but there are also many people who question this method. So, is the fetal heart rate accurate in determining the gender of a baby?

In fact, it is not reasonable to determine the gender of the fetus based on its heart rate. The saying that "a high fetal heart rate means a girl" is just a matter of probability. Generally speaking, a girl's fetal heart rate will be higher than that of a boy, but it is not certain. Therefore, the frequency of the fetal heart rate cannot be used to determine the gender of the fetus. The content of fetal heart rate monitoring is to record the changes of fetal heartbeat in an instant based on the data signal to produce a monitoring graph curve. It can grasp the reaction of fetal heartbeat when the baby moves and the uterus contracts, so as to infer the condition of the fetus in the uterus, such as whether there is oxygen deficiency. Moreover, the fetal heartbeat will change as the pregnancy progresses, so the fetal heartbeat will be different at different stages of pregnancy. The normal heart rate of a fetus is between 120 beats/minute and 160 beats/minute. If the fetal heart rate is lower than 120 beats/minute or higher than 160 beats/minute for more than 10 minutes, it means that the fetal heart rate is abnormal.

Therefore, the method of determining the gender of the fetus based on the fetal heart rate has no scientific basis and is not reliable. In fact, the identification of fetal gender requires professional testing equipment or technology to obtain more accurate identification.

Fetal heart rate measurement is prohibited for both men and women

Is fetal heart rate monitoring accurate in determining the gender of a baby? Many friends hope to get an accurate answer to this question, but unfortunately, there is still no scientific evidence to prove the accuracy of fetal heart rate monitoring in determining the gender of a baby.

However, many relevant experts still emphasize that the claim of using fetal heart rate monitoring to determine the gender of a baby has no scientific basis, and people should not blindly believe in it. The function of fetal heart rate monitoring is not to detect the gender of the baby. Its content is to record the monitoring graph curve generated by the instantaneous changes of the fetal heartbeat based on the data signal, and to grasp the response of the fetal heartbeat when the baby moves and the uterus contracts, in order to infer whether the baby in the uterus is hypoxic. The normal fetal heart rate range is 120-160 beats/minute. Therefore, the heart rate baseline below 140 is a boy, and above 140 is a girl. This statement is unreliable.

In addition, the condition of the pregnant woman herself also affects the changes in the fetal heartbeat. For example, if the pregnant woman has a fever, the fetal heartbeat will often exceed 160 beats/minute; if the pregnant woman has a relatively hyperactive thyroid hormone, her own heartbeat will be rapid, and the fetal heartbeat will also often exceed 160 beats/minute. Therefore, expectant parents are reminded not to be too obsessed with the method of fetal heart rate monitoring to determine the gender of the baby.
