Is a slow fetal heart rate a boy or a girl?

When pregnant women are at home, they often use some instruments to monitor the fetal heartbeat. This is completely fine, but if you want to know the true value of the fetal heart rate, the best way is to go to the hospital for fetal heart monitoring, which will give more accurate results. In practice, pregnant women often have a slow fetal heart rate when they go for a check-up. So how can you understand the gender of the fetus based on the slow fetal heart rate?

Is a slow fetal heart rate a boy or a girl?

Fetal heart rate refers to the heart beat of the fetus. Many pregnant women like to monitor their fetal heart rate after they become pregnant. Hearing the baby's heartbeat makes them feel very happy. Many people like to judge the gender of the baby by the fetal heart rate. So is a fetal heart rate of 160 a boy or a girl? If you want to know, please read this.

Many people say that the faster the fetal heart rate, the greater the chance of being a girl, but this is not certain. There is no necessary connection between the speed of the fetal heart rate and whether it is a boy or a girl, and there is no basis for this statement.

Some people have conducted experiments on distinguishing the gender of the fetus by listening to the fetal heartbeat. Generally speaking, the average value of more than 5 times is the best. If the average value is above 146, the probability of it being a girl is relatively high. If the average value is below 140, the probability of it being a boy is relatively high. However, it is not very accurate, as the fetus's sleep and exercise can affect the accuracy of the data.

Fetal heart monitoring records instantaneous fetal heart rate changes through signal scanning, thus forming a monitoring graph curve. Through the changes in the curve, we can understand the fetal heart rate response during fetal movement and uterine contraction, and infer whether the fetus in the uterus is suffering from hypoxia. The fetal heart rate is mainly used to determine whether the baby is lacking oxygen and is a way of judging the baby's life.

The normal fetal heart rate is 120 to 160 beats/minute. If the fetal heart rate is above 160 beats/minute or lasts for 100 beats/minute, it indicates intrauterine fetal hypoxia and should be treated promptly. The strength and rhythm of the fetal heart rate are related to the state of the fetus. If the fetus is awake or active, the fetal heart rate will be fast and strong. If the fetus is quiet or sleeping, the fetal heart rate may be slow and slightly weak.

Through the introduction in this article, we can know that there is no scientific basis for judging the gender of the baby based on the fetal heart rate. If you are a pregnant woman, it is best to learn how to monitor your fetal heart rate scientifically. Once you find that the fetal heart rate is relatively fast and reaches a relatively high level, it indicates that the baby may be suffering from intrauterine hypoxia and you need to take timely measures.
