I am having a girl....the chinese chart said boy for me, so I wouldn't say its very accurate.

Have you been to the doctor's yet to hear the heartbeat? I know this one is an old wives tale also, but they say a high heartbeat is usually a girl, a low hearbeat a boy. It worked for me and for several other people I know. My girl's heartbeat was always in the 160 and 170s which is pretty high.

When I was really early in the pregnancy (I'm about 7 months now) I was like you and desperate to know what the sex was. But as the time got closer, I became more laidback about it and really didn't care. Its great to know, I feel much more bonded with her, plus I get to shop!

Good luck!

hello!! honestly, its a 50-50 shot, honey!! ive heard the way youre carrying (high=girl, low=boy-i carried my oldest low and my youngest high-both girls), whether or not youre sick (more morning sickness=girl-i had none with each-lol), and the way the heart rate is-the higher the more likely it is that its a girl...but each pregnancy is different and each woman is different-so theres no sure fire way to tell you!! SORRY!! TAKE CARE!

Well I have 2 girls and a boy and the best way I could tell what I was having was by my leg hair. I needed to shave twice as often when pg with my DS and the growth slowed way down with my DDs.

All the other signs, heartbeat, Chinese gender chart etc were off, but this one worked for me.

With my first, a boy, I felt like I knew the moment I was pregnant that he was a he.

Heart rate not only was lower, but was consistent -- always 145-147.
I hated sweets, loved peanut butter.
Carried low and out front.

This time I have no clue. I was sick in the beginning, but also had triplets at the time. I want meat, but also will have a cookie. Heart rate has been all over, from 140s to 170s, but so has mine due to the stress of everything that's happened so far.

The only way to know for sure -- give birth.

Chinese chart said I was having a boy.... but I looked up my Daughter born in 2005 and it said she would be a boy!
WRONG!!
