my nurse told me that the girls heart rates are usually high, but if a boy is active when you check it, then it can be as high as a girls....So u never know!

Jays heart rate was on average 144 bpm.
When she was overly active it would go up to 160 bpm
abd when she were asleep, it was only 120 bpm.

All my family and friends thought I were having a boy, we were all suprised when I found out I was having a girl.
