    I had nothing with my DS, full of energy too and the days flew by.... This time round though... OMG!!! As soon as I wake up in the morning, I felt a wave come over me and was sick from then until I fell asleep at night even woke up occaisionally during the night to have a spew! (thankfully gone now though) Tired all day and sleeping whenever I sit still for more than a few minutes, and the sore boobies are so intence. Completely different this time round... Don't know what I'm having YET but I really hope it's a girl!
    I just put the difference down to being alot older this pregnancy considering there will be 14years between my DS and this baby by the time he/she is born. But still hoping the difference in symptoms means it's a girl! maybe my symptoms would have gradually gotten worse if I had more pregnancies in between but I'm still praying it's because it's a girl!!!

    Did I mention I'm really hopping for a girl???

    I had hyperemesis for 40 weeks with both of my pregnancies and I have a girl and a boy. My girl was slightly worse and I was on more drips with her.

    I had my worst MS with DD, not too bad with DS1 , threw up once or twice with DS2 and nothing at all this time. So for me it's gradually gotten less & less regardless of gender.

    I was thinking the same as Trish, that maybe we all react differently to the hormones? It looks like a girl for us this time & my PG overall has been much like DD's - (with the exception of mornign sickness) - the most horrible mood swings

    I had no morning sickness at all with DS.
    This time around I've had all day sickness with some vomiting from 8 weeks until just last week, we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet, will get back to you on that one

    I think morning sickness is a good sign that you're pregnant

    Sorry, I'm just so over all the old wives tales. I seem to cop them daily as everyone is trying to tell me what our bubs is purely by looking at my belly shape, it's position, the size of my bum, the type of food I like, the baby's heart rate, whether I was sick or not...and the list goes on.

    From what I've heard (and believe), every pregnany is different and the only sure way to know what you're having is to wait until d-day

    Congrats by the way!

    Ah tash. I had Hyperemesis with all 6. So chronic vomiting no matter what the gender.

    One of my older sisters though just had her 5th boy (also has 3 girls) and has never suffered morning sickness ... Seems I made it up for the both of us anyway, lol.

    I have four boys and with each pregnancy it was worse.
    Nothing with number one, slight nausea with number two, nausea and I think I vommited three times with number three and number four was full on all day nausea and vommiting every morning.
    So I believe that it is as you get older you tend to suffer more. Good luck on a blue bundle though fingers crossed for you.

    I've got only one child so cant compare pregnancies... but I had horendous morning sickness from about 5 weeks till 15 weeks. I was so sick, throwing up several times a day, I couldnt even look at food, and I lost weight. I have a daughter.

    Hi,

    I had little to no MS with DS.

    I think that it's your body coping with changes in hormones, I don't have clue what I'm having this time, & it's too early for MS to sink in so I really can't say if different sex means ms for me or not.

    I have 3 girls too....and just had my 4th....a boy.

    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
    ....

    If you were to ask my out of my 4 pregnancies, which one would i have thought i was having the different sex, it would have been pregnancy #3 - but she was a girl. I had awful m/s in the first trimester with this pregnancy...

    My other 3 pregnancies (including the boy one....) were all pretty much non eventful and very similar.

    TBH, i think its a complete wives tale and pure coincidence re: boys and m/s.......
