morning sickness boy or girl?

ericamanuela · April 2012

I'm curious about an old wives tale. I know it's an old wives tale that girls give you morning sickness but boys don't but it seems true for everyone I know, including myself. I have a boy and haven't got sick once. Just curious as to what other people experience.

I was horribly sick my whole first trimester, and we're having a boy Smile

Linds1027 · April 2012

I am having a girl, and was nauseous for 3 months straight but never threw up. Not sure if that counts! loL!

yale · April 2012

Opposite for me. DS I was pretty sick, this one, DD, not nearly as sick.

Ditto

Chelsey68 · April 2012

1st pregnancy not sick at all - boy

2nd pregnancy I have been sick the whole time - boy

megann831 · April 2012

I got sick several times with DD, not at all with this one, a boy

theseaword · April 2012

No MS. Just some heartburn. Boy!

Hkaye · April 2012

I was sick with both and they are both girls but my best friend has two boys and was sick with them so definitely an old wives tale.

Draba123 · April 2012

I've had zero morning sickness with either of my pregnancies - the first was a boy the second is a girl.

pinkcallalily · April 2012

With my son, I was sick at the same time everyday and vomited multiple times during those hours every single day from 6-15 weeks.

With my last pregnancy (a girl) I was nauseous all day every day, but didn't throw up everyday. This last from about 5 weeks until around the time we lost her at almost 16 weeks.

With this pregnancy (also a girl), it was pretty similar to the last girl. I still get nauseous at times, but not that often anymore.

So basically, I've been very sick with both boy & girls, but it was different kind of sickness with each.

ericamanuela · April 2012

I wonder why some people get so sick and others don't. Is it just luck?

Smootchy · April 2012

With my son I had zero sickness. Awsome pregnancy.

DD, this time around = bad m/s. Bad everything. I hate this pregnancy.

katcarls · April 2012

I didn't have m/s with either pregnancy. My first was a boy and this one is a girl.

kissmeimjess · April 2012

I am still having really bad morning sickness, and we are having a little boy. So I think it is just that, an old tale

SpankylovesSparky · April 2012

This was not at all the case with me and my cousin. For example, I, who am expecting a boy, was sick throughout almost the entire pregnancy. While my cousin who is expecting a girl, hasn't gotten sick once! In my experience, wives tales are just that...tales.

YaMrWhite · April 2012

Having a girl, never had morning sickness.

False. I never once had morning sickness and I'm having a girl.

I didn't feel great during first tri, but only actually threw up a couple of times. I had more nausea and food aversions.

same here, and I'm having a girl. I had mild nausea and terrible food aversions, but I only threw up twice. One time was because I gagged on some toothpaste and the other was because my blood sugar dropped too low, so I'm not even sure they count.

mrs+harlow · April 2012

Definite old wives tale....I'm Team Green but had no morning sickness in first trimester. A bit into 3rd trimester I had waves of nausea.

Per my OB morning sickness has to do with your body's ability to handle the fluctuating hormones and has zero to do with the sex of the baby.

amarier0911 · April 2012

We hare having a boy and I have been nausous and sick for most of my pregnancy. It has totally sucked.

bellablue2 · April 2012

I had a very severe form of morning sickness, called hyperemesis in which I was on IV's, hospitalized and fed through a picc line. This happened with my first child and with this baby. My first was a boy and this baby is a girl. I did not experience this with my second child and he was a boy. I think its an old wives tale.

kjg5445 · April 2012

two boys - very sick both tims. in fact, i was sick for 16+ weeks with DS2!

hoping4sticky · April 2012

Happened to be true for me. DD - sick in first tri, this time with a DS not sick.

I also fit the stereotypes/OWT for the way I carried. High and gained weight all over with DD, low and way more out front with DS.

katrod · April 2012

I was really sick my whole first trimester ...lost about 15 lbs because I couldn't even smell food without feeling sick. We are having a girl! A friend of mine said she never experienced much morning sickness, and she had a boy. Interesting!

PurpleSnapDragons · April 2012

My mom had 4 girls and never even got nauseous...

Thanks, that's good to know. I wasn't sure why. But I know, it is just an old wives tale, I was just curious what other people experience.

toniannV · April 2012

I'm team green, so I am not going to be helpful- but my SIL was crazy sick her first trimester and she had a boy.

EmilyXLC · April 2012

LOL! Everyone can get morning sickness... that's the dumbest wives' tale I've ever heard.

I was throwing up like mad all through my first trimester & a bit into the second & it's been spotty in the third... I am having a boy.

Tink522 · April 2012

1st threw up 1x = boy

2nd threw up morning, noon, and night for 9 months = boy

3rd was throwing up before the second line showed up on the pregnancy test, but it stopped after 1st trimester = boy

this one bad morning sickness until about weeek 24, now occassional nausea and vomiting still = No idea, umbilical cord was firmly between the legs at us.

hass2001 · April 2012

No morning sickness and I'm having a girl.

wheelsonthebus · April 2012

I was sick with both my pregnancies. However, I will say I was WAAAAAY sicker with this pregnancy. (A girl) I have had no appetite with this pregnancy. I haven't been able to sleep well and had terrible morning sickness up until at least 20 weeks.

firstbabylees · April 2012

I threw up for 3 weeks, but was nauseous for the first 22 weeks and I'm having a girl- so I guess it was true for me

Ok, ok. I was just seeing what others went through. Sorry.

dam0ne4 · April 2012

I only felt slightly nauseous at times in the 1st tri and we're having a girl. One of my good friends had terrible morning sickness and she had a boy.

LEIGHLOVE09 · April 2012

I had all day sickness until 15 weeks and I'm having a girl. It was awful!

Crazijewel · April 2012

I was very very sick and am having a boy. It's been confirmed through multiple ultrasounds.

AprilAngie · April 2012

Boys x3 - had m/s 1st rrimester-and felt great

Girl- still sick and almost 22 weeks.

BarefootRI · April 2012

With DD, the puking started at 7 weeks and didn't let up until about 25+ weeks. I threw up all day, every day for months and lost a bunch of weight. It was brutal! Even after 25 weeks, I would still take my Zofran here and there and throw up maybe once or twice a week.

We are Team Green this time so I don't know what we're having, but I was throwing up pretty much daily (although not to the extreme of last time) until about 16 weeks this time. I've been feeling great since then.

laurennkeith · April 2012

For me true (mostly) not really sick, just didn't have an appetite felt slightly queasy. Did get sick one time.

For my friend totally wrong - she was really really sick (like couldn't work almost her entire pregnancy sick) and she had a boy

MRSR08 · April 2012

I had nausea and food aversions starting at week 5 and went until about week 15 or 16. I only threw up a few times, but hardly ate anything. We are having a boy.
