Just for fun. Old wives' tales and folk charts are not medically accurate and cannot determine your baby's sex. For a real answer, ask your healthcare provider about an anatomy ultrasound or genetic testing. This tool stores nothing.
Enter a heart rate or select a craving to see what the old wives' tales say.
What is the heart-rate gender myth?
The old wives' tale says a fetal heart rate above 140 bpm means a girl, while below 140 bpm means a boy. There is no scientific support for this: fetal heart rates naturally vary with gestational age and baby activity, not with chromosomal sex. This tool uses that folklore purely for entertainment.
What about cravings?
Another piece of folklore: salty or savoury cravings supposedly predict a boy, while sweet cravings predict a girl. Again, no clinical research supports this. Pregnancy cravings are influenced by nutrition, hormones, and many other factors unrelated to the baby's sex.
