Hey,
Just a curious post really (as I know this is more of an old wives tale type of thing), but if you've had both a boy and girl, did you experience any differences?
I've had 2 boys (pregnant with 3rd, unknown sex). For my first son, I just felt mildly hungover from around week 7. Craved lots of junk food, but overall I felt fine. For my second son, I had basically no symptoms and felt mostly normal. The only thing I craved was fresh tomatoes. It was pretty great really.
This time round, from week 5 I have felt mild-moderately sick, most food in general is unappealing (yet I still find enough to constantly snack lol), and I have had no significant cravings. There have been a handful of times I thought I was going to spew, but didnt.
Anyway, it did get me slightly hopeful it could be a girl. But I'm 9 weeks and 3 days today, and I feel like the symptoms are easing up and disappearing, so now I'm back to thinking boy again haha.
I'll find out in a few weeks, and its fine either way, but thought it'd be interesting to hear peoples experiences in the meantime!
One thing I did find interesting actually, is that before each of my boys, I had quite vivid dreams of having a baby boy (I can still picture one of the dreams in my head over 6 years later).
This time round, I had a vivid dream of having a baby girl (it was the same morning I decided to test and got a BFP).
I kinda of think its probably more coincidence, but it would be kind of cool if it then was a girl!
