How to determine sex of baby by heartbeat

Now that we have ultrasound, every expectant mother already knows who she's having – boy or girl. This is the most accurate to date method that is available to all and can be used starting from the 18th week of pregnancy. In fairness it should be noted that doctors have no problem to find out the sex during a routine ultrasound, their goal is quite different – to find out whether normally developing fetus.

In addition to ultrasound, there are other methods, ancient and more modern. One of them is determining the sex of baby by heartbeat.

  • fetal hypoxia;
  • malformations of the vessels and the heart;
  • intrauterine infection;
  • disease pregnant women.

Another reason for the discrepancy in the heart rate with the norm – receiving mother some medicines.

In the later stages of pregnancy (from 34 weeks) can reveal abnormalities of the future baby for heart rate using cardiotocography.

The rhythm of the heart

Heart rate of the unborn child is fully dependent on the functioning of the main body, and has nothing to do with gender. If the fetus is developing normally, then the heart will be pounding smoothly and quietly, regardless of whether the boy or girl. If the rhythm goes astray, the cause is most likely in malformations of the heart, not in the fact that the mother bears a daughter.

The position of the baby

In the first and second trimester, the fetus is actively moving in the amniotic fluid and can take any position. Starting with 32 weeks of such opportunities he has less, he is pressed to the right or left side, but it's the place the fruit is not related to gender.

The heartbeat of the mother

Heart rhythm and heart rate of pregnant women can change for different reasons. This usually occurs on the background of some of the diseases from which it suffers. But there is no connection between baby's heartbeat and the heartbeat of the mother is not, and changes in heart rhythm and heart rate women the sex of the baby is not affected.
