Heart Rate - Old wives tale or is there any turth?

[Ems]

So I just had my very late 16 week check up. Im now 20 weeks but anyhow, The babys heart rate is 132 so has any of you ladies had boys or girls with fas or slow heart rates. Not sure how much truth there is to this but its just a bit of fun curiosity!!!

No personal experience but from what I've read it's an old wives tale x

Think it's an old wives tale! My SIL was told a boy as babies heart was slower and had a girl!
