Those who aleady have children (pregnancy symptoms)

LonghornNAggie

My first pregnancy with my daughter was pretty rough, morning sickness as soon as I lifted my head in the morning, lots of barfing, lasted through most of the pregnancy, etc.

This pregnancy I still have m/s (though it is more in the afternoon/evening/night, and more significant nausea more so than actual barfing).I still get m/s in the morning off and on--so its not like it is completely different in terms of m/s from the last pregnancy.

Because the m/s is different, everyone keeps telling me that it must be a boy. I'm just interested in whether other people who already have a child have insight on this? Did anyone have one gender and then have different m/s symptoms but have another one of the same gender? Or vice versa...

Obviously I know nothing is for sure, I'm just interested.

Each pregnancy is different and it doesn't really tell much about the sex.  I had a girl with my first and this one is also a girl.  My morning sickness was different with both and I also am carrying this baby very low while my second was very high.

My pregnancies were totally different, and I have one of each. I had three days of m/s with DS, felt great the whole time, but had high blood pressure at the end. With DD, I had m/s from 10 weeks to 22 weeks, felt like poo (but that might be due to chasing a toddler lol) but my blood pressure stayed low. GL!

I didn't have morning sickness with DD, had a little morning sickness here and there with DS and then no morning sickness again this time and its a girl.

My first pregnancy was rough.  Morning sickness the whole way through (I was on medication), every other symptom under the sun.  I was miserable. 

This time, I feel great!  No symptoms.

Both of my kids are boys.

Not quite 3rd tri yet but I wanted to answer since I'm on baby #4 With My 2 girls I was as sick as a dog for most of my pregnancy. WIth my boy I only had 2 weeks of morning sickness. I was able to eat more but was more tired. This baby I won't be finding out the sex until birth day but I can say that my pregnancy symptoms are more like that of being preggo with a boy. 

 THis is just my experience and  I agree that every pregnancy can be different. I would in fact though be very surprised if this one came out to be a little girl.

Usually it doesn't say anything about the sex... but in my family it does.

My mom had 3 boys and 2 girls. Nausea with the girls, not with the boys.

My sister had 2 girls and 1 boy. Nausea with the girls, not with the boys.

I have a girl and I am expecting a boy. Nausea with the girl, not with the boy.

I have two girls, and this baby is also a girl. All three pregnancies were very different from each other. #1, no nausea or sickness at all. #2, a bit of nausea but not bad. #3, terrible, unrelenting nausea and all-day sickness for the first 3.5 months.

My pregnancies have been different in terms of nausea, etc and I'm having a 2nd boy.

First one I had really bad morning sickness til about 16 weeks.  This one the morning was very manageable.  They are both boys.

Aside from differences in my heartburn, my two pregnancies have been almost identical.  I had a girl last time and I'm having a boy this time.

When I was pregnant with my son, the morning sickness started later in the pregnancy, but was more intense.  A lot more vomiting and food aversions and it lasted until I was about 20 weeks.  The food aversions lingered until I gave birth.

With this pregnancy, I'm having a girl.  The morning sickness started earlier and wasn't quite as bad.  More just feeling queasy and only occasional vomiting.  It ended around 20 weeks again, but I didn't have so many aversions this time.

I've been pregnant 3 times: I had hyperemesis (severe nausea, vomiting and weight loss) with both my pregnancies where I was having a BOY. I had very mild, short-lived m/s when I was preg with DD.

Both of my pregnancies I have felt great. The only thing that is different is that I would get occasional nausea with DD. This time around I haven't had any at all.

I am/was very fortunate in that I never had morning sickness. In both pregnancies I was nauseous early on, and very smell-sensitive, but never threw up.

My second PG was so similar to my first that I pretty much convinced myself that I was having another boy, but nope, this one is a girl!

So I have to conclude that sex of the baby makes no difference for my body, it's just how I "do" pregnancy.

I carried this one much higher in the beginning. That's about the only difference. I was sick a couple weeks sooner, but it went away around the same time with both, and it was all-day-sickness with both. I was more tired with this one, but I have a toddler to keep up with this time, so I think it's more that. I guess another difference is also that I was incredibly emotional with this one...like stupid stuff would make me cry, especially at the beginning.

My m/s got worse/lasted longer with each pregnancy. I have girl, boy, girl. If anything, it is age for me...or my body is telling me not to be a Duggar mom.

My m/s was the same for all 9mo with my first 2 and I had a girl and a boy.  I think m/s has nothing to do with gender.

There is research that indicates that it can be worse with girls, because you have more of the hormone that causes m/s when you are having a girl. You can probably google it. There is science behind it.

Every pregnancy is different.

However, while I felt constantly nauseated for the first several weeks with both my pregnancies, I've never actually thrown up, which I guess means I had mild morning sickness. Both pregnancies were/are boys.

mrs_kelly1014

With DS, I had m/s until 28 weeks but rarely puked. I was just nauseous. With this one (girl), I have been puking since 7 weeks and it still hasn't let up despite taking Zofran daily. So, while I had m/s with both, they were completely different types of m/s. I was also MUCH more tired this pregnancy than with DS, but otherwise have felt better (less pain) then when I was pregnant with DS. So, they really are pretty opposite for me.
