Is it accurate to identify the gender of the fetus by heart rate?

Being able to give birth to a healthy baby is very important for every family. However, many women are always very cautious during pregnancy, fearing that a moment of negligence will have a certain impact on the fetus. However, we all know that after two months of pregnancy, the fetus will have a certain heartbeat. Many women often choose to use the fetal heart rate to identify the gender of the fetus. In fact, this has no scientific basis at all. As long as the fetus can grow healthily, it is the most important thing. So, is the fetal heart rate accurate in identifying the gender of the baby?

Is it accurate to identify the gender of the fetus by heart rate?

Gynecologists point out that this actually has no scientific basis. Because the content of fetal heart monitoring examination is the curve of the monitoring graph formed by signal tracing the instantaneous changes of fetal heart rate, it is possible to understand the reaction of the fetal heart rate during fetal movement and uterine contraction, so as to infer whether the fetus in the uterus is suffering from hypoxia. The normal fetal heart rate is between 120 beats/minute and 160 beats/minute. If the fetal heart rate remains <120/minute or >160/minute for more than 10 minutes, it indicates that the fetal heart rate is abnormal.

The condition of the pregnant woman herself also affects the changes in the fetal heart rate. For example, if the pregnant woman has a fever, the fetal heart rate will often exceed 160 beats/minute. If the pregnant woman has hyperthyroidism, her own heart rate is very fast and the fetal heart rate will often exceed 160 beats/minute. If the pregnant woman takes certain medications, such as salbutamol taken during premature delivery to preserve the fetus, or atropine, it can cause the mother and child's heart rate to accelerate. A slow fetal heart rate may be caused by fetal hypoxia, but sometimes pregnant women take certain medications, such as propranolol, which act on the fetus through the placenta and cause the fetal heart rate to slow down.

The above is an introduction to whether the fetal heart rate can accurately distinguish the gender of the baby. After understanding it, we know that this is a statement without scientific basis. Female friends should not always worry about the gender of the fetus during pregnancy. They must maintain good living habits and keep a happy mood during this period. In addition, they must have a regular schedule and pay attention to nutritional balance in their diet. As long as the fetus can grow healthily, it is the most critical.
