According to some people it is an old wives tale but my son's heart rate was nice and slow so we'll see
One thing about the books... They are great and informative and all that, but take everything that you read with a grain of salt. I would have gone CRAZY if I had followed the What To Expect books to the letter! At some point you have to trust your instincts as well
LOl I have never heard that about the heart rate. My mom says it must be a girl because with my brother she said she honestly thought he was going to be still born because he NEVER moved.... and the Drs say that they should kick a certain amount each day and she said she was lucky if he kicked once a day. He was born happy and healthy and was always a very quiet baby. but with me... I was ALWAYS moving.... one of her friends was even going to take her to the hospital one night because I was kicking so much and you could just see her maternity shirt bouncing all over the place. of course my mom was experiencing some major discomfort during this particular kicking frenzy and her friend was SURE she was going into labour LOL.
My mom laughs at me when I say that I don't want to find out. She says that is wonderful... BUT... she knows what i am like at Christmas time waiting to find out what my presents are (I am unbearable.... we actually opened our gifts two days before christmas this year because I just couldn't take it anymore) so she says we will see how long I last not knowing LOL.
this particular book we got from some friends who just had a baby in November (their first child as well) and she said that book was a god send to her. she said it was the only book she read that actually gave her information she could actually use and interpret into real life. it's not so much about how to parent a child properly but more so about how to determine what type of personality your baby has and how to balance out time with your child and time for yourself. It's the only book I have read so far and it's actually an interesting read. But even that book says that you can't take books completely literally because every baby is different... you just have to learn how to incorporate what you read with what kind of baby you have and then go from there.
My peanuts.... we are so pleased with how clear they are... especially this early in the pregnancy. I can't really say my biological clock was really ticking loud enough for me to hear it.... when I found out I was pregnant I was likeI'm not sure i want this to happen right now.... but now I couldn't be more thrilled and excited LOL.
