A member asked:

Can you tel with the fetus heartbeat if it is a boy of a girl? this morning i went for ultrasound the heartbeat was 148. i am 9 weeks pregnant

No: Only an ultrasound can help with that information, and it would have to be done in the second trimester.

No: None of the myths about heart rate , kicking activity or similar features are predictive of anything.
