Abit of a random question....

[MamaBones]

Please excuse if this doesnt make much sense... I have crazy pregnant brain at the moment, but have a question I'd like to ask!


With my first pregnancy, I had terrible MS and was constantly tired and cranky... I had a girl.

With my this pregnancy (I know its only early days!), but I have experienced VERY little MS or nauseas feeling, do not feel tired and am actually quiet NON-emotional...

My DP, and father of the child I am carrying, is not the father of my daughter. Do you think, that its possible to have completely different pregnancies, yet have the same sex baby? (I've just heard so much about people having different pregnancies and having different sex babies...)

Could the hormones/genetics from my DP effect me in a different way to what my Ex's did?

I'd just love to have another little girl... Ultimately, it doesnt matter what we have, but I'm hoping we are in with a chance for a girl. (He has 2 sons to his Ex-Wife... and seems to think he only makes boys. LOL)

Are there any Mamas on here who have had a child to one man, then had a child to another man (with a completely different prengnancy) but had the same sex ??



Haha... did that make sense?

I personally dont think m/s and other pg symptoms play any role in the sex of the baby.

I have two boys(same father) and had two VERY different pregnancies.

[Visitor7]

I'm the same as Sally. I had completely different pregnancies, and have had 2 girls.

Definately, I have 2 boys with DS1 I had M/S for a couple of months but nothing too bad and with DS2 I wasn't sick at all.

As for the different father factor I'm not sure but have wondered that myself.
DS1and2 have the same father but I'm now repartnered and pg with #3 and I have only just recovered from the HORRENDOUS morning sickness, I was bedridden for 9 weeks with a bucket much sicker than I was with DS1, permanent headache and vision problems and low blood pressure.
I did wonder if the different hormones from having a different dad could influence it.

As for the sex of this one well I don't know and I'm not going to find out, I want the surprise so I'l have to let you know in about 4and a half months

See, I'm different... My pregnancies with my girls were pretty much the same. Severe ms til around 4.5 months, then eased off til around 7 months.
With DS ms was very minimal. I went from throwing up around 20 times a day some days with the girls, to maybe twice a day with DS. With DS I had SPD, but didn't with the girls.
All have the same father though.
I think it all just comes down to you & your body TBH

This is what I had with my DD! I was terrified of being pregnant again, as I thought it would be the same.

We are going to find out what we are having, so I will know soon enough...

Still, cant help wondering!

[Jewel]

My pregnancies were total opposites, and I had 2 boys.
We actually thought DS2 would be a girl because his pregnancy was so so different to DS1.

Good luck with your pregnancy.

ah it's early days yet.
I had two mirror image pregs and got one of each.

You're very brave going for #2!! I think this is def the last for me, we didn't really have plans for more than one but after this pregnancy so far I think I'm closing up shop.

Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly I'm keen to hear what you're having when you find out

[[M]umma[M]ia]

its a myth.. fairy tales.. old wives tale.

Why Thankyou, my friend!!
With the vision problems you had, did you have complete vision loss at any time? I was monitored in hospital and sent to eye doctors etc, but no-one could tell me anything about this bloody vision problem. I would wake up and I would be completely blind, and it would last generally between 4-8hrs at a time. Happened at least once a week.
Am hoping and praying it doesnt happen again this time!

[Lisa]

With my DS1 I had loads of morning sickness... I would get to work and go straight to the toilet and vomit, it was terrible... this lasted the entire duration of my pregnancy with him.
With my DD, I had little to no vomitting or nausea. Both kids to the same father.

Then I met my DH and fell pregnant with a boy. I was sick all over again like I was with my DS1, and would get nausea when not vomitting and was constantly dizzy and just felt yuck in general.
With our second son together I had nausea only, no vomitting but still the same light headed dizziness, especially in shopping centres.
I have the same symptoms this time around (nausea only, dizziness etc) but have no idea what I am carrying.

Hi and congrats!
I have had 2 boys and had absolutly no morning sickness at all, I am now pregnant with number 3 ( they all have the same father) and I was ssssssooooooooooooo sick, I couldnt believe it and I have been told that this one is a boy aswell Its a bit hard to miss it haha. I dont think IMO that if it is different pregnancys its a different sex baby. hope the pregnancy goes well

[Taurean]

Congrats on your pregnancy!

There are other threads similar to this on BB and it's amazing how many BB girls have had very, VERY different pregnancies each time and they were to the same father.

Also, the odds of a boy or a girl are about 51/49% - in favour of boys. You pregnancy symptoms are no indication of what you are baking, it really is just luck of the draw!

Excuse my ignorance if this is a stupid question I'm blond as well as pregnant

So is that in relation to M/S?

Hmm... I just googled this as I was sure that women are the majority when it comes to World Population.... Most of the sites said the same thing, that its 51% female, 49% male...


DP & I were out walking this morning and as we were walking, I turned to him and said 'I think we are going to have a girl.' So, fingers crossed the feeling I had, was right!

I'm a google queen too Nine Months said the following: "In Australia figures show that 106 boys are born for every 100 girls"

And this is from the Baby Centre website: "Keep in mind that Mother Nature has already tipped the odds a bit in favour of boys in the sex-selection game. According to data released in 2006 from the Office for National Statistics, approximately 1,052 boys are born for every 1,000 girls."

Maybe Australia is different to the rest of the world but then again, it's only 1%! 50/50 sounds like a fair call I reckon! I hope you get your little girl, I'm secretly hoping for a daughter too (although a healthy baby boy would be wonderful as well!!)

He he! Nope, just the odds of having a boy or a girl. I'm a research girl (in both my work and personal life) and have read so much about gender stats, pregnancy symptoms (to determine if you're carrying a boy or a girl), etc and there are plenty of websites that will tell us preggy women 'what we want to hear' (ie if we're hoping for a particular sex, we tend to only believe and remember the sites that tell us what we want to hear!) but the reality is, the gender of our babies really is random. I even read an article just this weekend which said that the sex of your siblings and your partners siblings provide no indication of the sex of your children, even if you come from a family of five girls!
