Is the fetal heart rate of 144 a boy or a girl?

Many parents are particularly interested in knowing the gender of the fetus, especially in some rural areas. People attach great importance to whether they have a boy or a girl. For example, many people hope to have a son, so during pregnancy, they will judge the gender of the baby based on the fetal heart rate. Here I would like to make it clear to everyone that no matter how fast or slow the fetal heart rate is, it is inaccurate to judge the gender in this way. There is no scientific basis at all. If the fetal heart rate is 144, it only means that the fetal heart rate is within the normal range.

Is the fetal heart rate of 144 a boy or a girl?

Ever since a woman becomes pregnant, there are many people who want to know in advance whether it is a boy or a girl. Many people have summed up many methods to determine whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl, such as judging the gender of the baby by the fetal heart rate. So is a fetal heart rate of 144 a boy or a girl?

Not necessarily. The normal fetal heart rate is strong and powerful, at 120-160 beats/minute, with a regular rhythm and moderate strength, like the "ticking of a clock". The fetal heart rate can increase by 10-20 beats per minute when the fetus moves. If the heart rate is continuously higher than 160 times/minute or lower than 110 times/minute, it is abnormal.

If the expectant mother is nervous or tired, it may cause a faster fetal heart rate. At this time, lying on the left side can alleviate the phenomenon of a fast fetal heart rate. If it is still too fast, you should consider whether the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia. It is best to consult a doctor for advice.

After 10 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women can hear the fetal heartbeat. In clinical practice, ultrasonic Doppler fetal heart rate monitor is commonly used to listen to the fetal heart rate, and electronic fetal heart rate monitor is used to continuously monitor the fetal heart rate. If you are at home, you can use a home-use ultrasonic Doppler fetal heart monitor to listen to the fetal heart rate; if there is a professional at home, you can also use a stethoscope or fetal heart rate stethoscope to listen to the fetal heart rate. As long as you can hear clearly, it's fine.

So when should we start fetal heart rate monitoring? Generally speaking, there is no need for self-monitoring using ultrasonic Doppler fetal heart rate monitor before 15 weeks of pregnancy. For pregnant women between 15 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is safe to measure three times a day for one minute each time. For pregnant women after 28 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is fully differentiated and the time and frequency of monitoring can be extended. For high-risk pregnant women after 35 weeks of pregnancy, they should be hospitalized and use a fetal heart rate monitor to continuously monitor the fetal heart rate. If necessary, continuous monitoring can be carried out for a long time.

From this introduction, we can know that a fetal heart rate of 144 cannot determine whether it is a boy or a girl. The fetal heart rate has little to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. It is best not to judge the gender of the baby based on the fetal heart rate. In fact, there is no difference in the fetal heart rate of boys and girls. It is best to refer to this article carefully.
