Certain symptoms, Certain genders?

[Jess&Jay]

Most of my friends are saying I'm having a boy. Just because I'm not sick to my stomatch.....myth?

Most friends with girls say they had extreme morning sickness and couldnt keep anything down. Friends that had baby boys, had a smooth pregnancy.

Fact or Myth?

That would mean I'm having a girl - I feel awful!

 

[Mrs-C]

Well, I felt ok until the last week. Now I feel awful.
What does that mean I'm having?!

 

[welshmummy2be]

could be possible...i have an instic that im carrying a boy and besides the worry i have had an fairly easy pregnancy x x x

 

[Jess&Jay]

Awful that your having a girl? haha kidding.
Ah. I'm sorry you feel awful, I felt that way with my first pregnancy. Once I was 5-6weeks, I threw up all the time! Now, I have the minor symptoms. boobs, cramping, pooping issues and cravings.

 

[Jess&Jay]

If this is true, then I must be having a boy. I've been more focused on boy names anyway. I have no idea what to name a girl if I had one. So maybe that's another sign haha

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I think it could be considered fact hon......I believe its one of those old wives tales that often pan out to be true!

ME - plain sailing with DS.....right now sick as a dog, feeling really ill and feeling really about it all, I have a feeling I am having a girl also

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

hon about names funny with DS could only agree on a girls name and my agreement to find out babys gender with DH was that we must have a name for him or her or no-go! Right up to night before scan we were still debating this time I have the perfect boys name but can decide on a girls typical

Noooooooooooooooooooo Please don't let this be true!! I had no sickness with 2 pregnancies and had 2 boys. & I want a girl SOOOO bad and am still not sick with this pregnancy. I am praying I just am not prone to getting sick period. LOL. But If I'm blessed with a healthy baby that's all that matters, girl or boy.

With my 6yo Daughter I was in the bathroom for the first 4 1/2 months solid. I survived on Grapefruit, Grilled cheese and gingerale.

This time, I'm not throwing up much, but the nausea is there, and I have big gaps of three or four days without symptoms at all. (And I seem to crave apple pie, salt and vinegar chips and nectarines...)

If it is a boy for me this round, I'd still say coincidence, but it's a cool thing to think about.

 

[poppymist]

Myth I had morning sickness severly with all of my boys was hospitailized with the last one as couldn't keep any thing down they are all boys x

 

[Twinminator]

The more I read about it, the more I think there's some truth to the myth!
It seems to be panning out that way for most people doesn't it?
I've got twin girls, DH has got a 16yr old daughter from first marriage, and it has been joked that he is a girl-breeder LOL! I've had awful MS this time (I was so exhausted when pg with twins, I can't rightly remember much about my first tri, but I know there were certain foods I could/couldn't eat) and I'm just convinced I'm having a girl again.

Another little tip I've been given recently is that if you're having a girl, you crave acidic things, like orange juice. For boys it's more sweet stuff like chocolate milk.... (I THINK that's the right way round!!!)

 

[Twinminator]

Except poppymist who must've been typing same time as me

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I am craving orange juice, lemon and can only stomach bland foods like mash and fish My husbands family are boy-producers DH is one of 6 boys and only us and one bro have children both boys (our ds and our nephew!) I am one of three girls and my sister has a dd.......I have this feeling I am having a princess this time too Could be wrong I suppose then I would be with poppymist....you poor luv!

My cravings are sweet haha, like fried oreos, cotton candy ice cream. ah. it will be great to have a little boy!

 

[Mea]

I had a very smooth pregnancy with my DS and all i wanted to eat was chocolate, this time i feel sick tired and cant face eating or drinking anything sweet. Everyone keeps telling me there must be at least one girl in there!

 

[gemm]

MYTH!!!! I've had two boys and had severe morning sickness!!

Think of things this way.... there's ALWAYS a 50/50 chance of everything with gender, plus if people have all of one sex there's not much to compare to... all their pregnancies could be the same b or g!!! you're always going to get 50% say one thing and 50% the other!!!

The only link there seems to be is that if you had ms with one and not another theres a chance it could be a different sex... my betting is still just 50/50 though!

 

[lynzlogan]

Myth imo!

When carrying Leo i had horrid morning sickness till around 5 months!! (only mornings though)

this time my sickness is worse though and can at times last all day
My cravings are different this time round!

A fact that will prove this a myth.....

90% of pregnant women experience ms BUT 90% of all babies born aren't
