Is it true that having MS can indicate a boy?

**Tash*n*bub** · July 6th, 2009, 12:00 AM

Hi all,

This is my 4th Pregnancy and I am a 29 year old married mum of 3 girls so I don't know much about boys I'm afraid!!

I feel as though I am experiencing my first pregnancy as it has been 4 years since I was pregnant last and when you think that your pregnancy days are over you forget a lot!!

I hear a lot of people comparing their pregnancies.... whether they had morning sickness or not and if they carried girls they didn't have morning sickness and if they carried boys they did????

Now I seem to recall having the odd vomit once or twice with my girls but nothing like what I am experiencing now...I simply cannot even contemplate eating or looking at food now without a wave of nausea rushing over me. I am 12 weeks this coming week and have had this for the past 2-3 weeks and am really really tired ( Another thing that I cannot remember, oh and have tender breasts to which I did not have with the girls)

So basically what I am wanting to know is there anything it these stories that I hear or is it simply a wives tale, so far my 3 pregnancies have felt pretty much the same except my 3rd as she was posterior. And I feel completely different this time round....anyone have any stories or suggestions for me, I would love to hear them as I am not finding out the sex until the 18 week scan (Another 6 weeks away!)

Cheers
Tash

Hmmm I had more intense ms with DS (week 5-14 = hideous vomitting - lost over 10kg, mostly went away and then reared again at around 32 wks)

DD - mainly nausea ALL Day and maybe throw up once a day but went on for the entire pregnancy.

???? I don't think that helps at all :-) Good luck with the research

I have 3 boys and the only MS I got with those pregnancies was very mild nausea in the first few weeks.. While pregnant with my DD I actually threw up for the first time

while you may not mind what you have... I will send you some blue vibes

Boys are pretty awesome

I had 2 girls with no MS and had it with DS ! Although I only vomited once I felt really nauseous 24 hrs a day for weeks.
I have found having a boy after 2 girls a wild ride but great fun!

If morning sickness = boy and no morning sickness = girl, then I'm a boy and my son is a girl.

Looking at that, I'd say there's no truth in that rumour.

Also, Mum's pregnancies with me and my sister were very different, so you can't really go on that. Unless I am really a boy in disguise... very good disguise given how well it has fooled the world to date.

I had shocking ms with DD1 and no ms with DD2.

**Indadhanu** · July 6th, 2009, 07:44 AM

Nup, I had disgusting all-day sickness, and a girl.

**~Trish~** · July 6th, 2009, 08:03 AM

I had m/s with both my boy pregnancies and none with this one which is a girl. My mum and sister also had m/s with boys and none with girls, weird! Maybe some of us react to the different hormones in a certain way?

That being said, my SIL has two girls and was sick 24/7 throughout her entire pregnancies with them, the poor thing.

WOw all pregnancies are so different aren't they?

DD1 I had all day sickness & vomitting until around 23 weeks. I lost 7kg in the first trimester.

DD2 I had 1 week of nausea and I think I only vomited once.

**maz** · July 6th, 2009, 08:30 AM

I had m/s with all 4 of my pgs and found it got worse with each one

Nikolaus was all day sickness no real throwing up
Wilhelm as the same
Vyolett,.....OMG I htought I was giong to die! I even threw up int he meat section shopping in coles
Mateauz was digusting, I use to throw up in the shower evertime I had one

Pg #1 Was horrid, bad MS from week 6-22 - Girl
Pg #2 Not as bad, but bad enough, MS from week 9-17 - Girl
Pg #3 slight nausea for first 13 weeks, no vomitting - Boy

**MrsB26** · July 6th, 2009, 08:51 AM

I had absolutely no morning sickness and had a boy. My best friend also had no m/s and she had a boy also.

**Mum2SweetCs** · July 6th, 2009, 08:54 AM

I had severe MS with DD for 14weeks. She is a bit of a tomboy though =)

**MantaRay** · July 6th, 2009, 01:08 PM

Yep, MS can be a sign of having a boy. It can be a sign of having a girl too

**bon** · July 6th, 2009, 01:24 PM

Tash - I found with each pregnancy, the MS got progressively worse each time, with this time being the worst. Thankfully it didn't last too long. This baby is a girl too, so I don't think there is a lot of truth to that theory! Maybe like me your MS is worse this time because it is your fourth pg? Sending you lots of blue vibes though!
