    Hi girls

    I have finally made it to the third trimester. I had the midwife appointment today and she said that from the hearbeat it is a "so called boy"....BUT....she considered this to be a myth! What do you think out there? I am 27 weeks so I don't know if I am here too soon - some say 27, some say 28 weeks!! Anyway - good to be here! Hope time goes fast until birth...

    Hello and welcome!

    I to have just made it to the third trimester and am very excited!!!

    They say a high heartbeat is girl and a lower heartbeat is a boy. It is true in my case, heartbeat is always in the 150's and ultrasound confirmed we are having a girl! I hope you enjoy the last part of the journey!

    Good Luck!

    xoxo Ree

    Damiens heart rate was on the border line or 140bmp normally. Under this is a boy, over is a girl. sometimes it was 145bmp and sometimes 135bmp baselines.

    It didn't work for me. I was so convinced I was having a little girl (even packed pink babygro in hospital bag), because heartrate alway high between 145 - 157. Out popped a little boy!!! Shocked, but delighted!!

    Thanks for your responses, girls!

    I have also heard that if you are carrying low it is a boy, if it is all front it is a girl - any truth in these myths?

    Does the last 12 weeks go quickly or do they dddrrraaaaggggg?

    I am definately more 'Up front' - everyone comments on it and I am having a girl! I have hardly put weight on anywhere else

    I did the chinese charts and all those other silly prediction things and they all said I was having a girl!!!!!...strange but true!!!!......

    I thought from the beginning i was having a girl as I read a list of 'symptons' of having a girl and I had all of them (honnestly not making this up!)
