#2 and off to a "sickly" start :(

We found out yday that we were preggers with #2, our first being a boy. I was never sick once. Wore the sea bands a few weeks in the first trimester but that was it. I was terribly nauseous and sick on my stomach yesterday which is why i knew that it was time...i was going to get a positive result and I did.

Today has been the same way! Im thirsty all day, crampy painful stomach and a very sensitive stomach with terrible diarrhea where I can barley make it to the bathroom.

I am wearing my sea bands and making my first dr appt tomorrow.

Im not use to feeling this way. And its already off to a rough start!

Any suggestions to helping with the diarrhea and sensitive stomach??

And is it true what they say.....sickness means a "GIRL"???? hehee

I would suggest Immodium D for the upset stomach, which is perfectly safe during pregnancy (it's on my OB approved list of medications). I don't know about sickness indicating a girl. I was pretty sick during my first trimester when I was pregnant with my son. Although I don't remember getting sick until about 8 or 9 weeks along and this time I've been sick almost since the beginning. I think every pregnancy is just different and doesn't have anything to do with whether it's a boy or a girl.

I was incredibly sick my first pregnancy and I have a boy! FWIW, I think the wives tale is sick=girl but it's not one I hold any weight too!

With DS, I started getting nauseated at 5 weeks and threw up from 6 - 16/17 weeks.... ><

I think there is some research to back up being more sick with a girl, but I know a few people who were terribly sick (had to be hospitalized they threw up so much) and had boys.
