    How different was your morning sickness for each pregnancy?

    I can't believe I'm going to ask this. I should, I DO know better but hey, it's kind of fun - speculating that is

    I had awful morning sickness (24/7 nausea) until 14 weeks with DD and finally felt human again at 16 weeks. This pregnancy I felt the same, maybe a bit worse (I took Maxolon daily for a few weeks), but my MS started earlier at 5 wks and began easing off last week - 10 weeks. I still feel nauseous at times but it's so much more manageable. I'm definitely on the mend Of course some of those who know I'm pregnant have already started saying it must be a boy but it did make me wonder how other women have felt for different pregnancies and what sex the babies were.

    So please, entertain me! How different was your MS? Or was it the same? Did you have the opposite sex or same sex? Did worse MS mean a girl or a boy?

    My pregnancies were exactly the same. No morning sickness, just a little queasy if I hadn't eaten for a while. I had a girl then a boy

    mine have all been the constant all day sickness - the vomitting has increased with the last two but I think some of that is because I've become a bit more relaxed about it and just let it happen rather than trying to stop it with #3 I vomitted every day or two, with this one I've vomitted more than once a day. My first went to 12 weeks, my second 15 and my third 17 and beyond. With this one I had it up until wk 12 and had a major stomach bug in wk 12 and then it was gone (other than the occassional gag on phlem Sorry for TMI). Mine have all been boys.

    Both my pregnancies have been boys and my MS has been very different. First time it was really severe and lasted till 28 weeks (almost hospitalised, on Zofran, off work for 6 weeks, no housework). And this pregnancy I was pleasantly suprised - it was still pretty bad till 14 weeks, but since then I've been fine! My theory is that my body was more used to the hormones 2nd time round and also I think not working was a great help. So I don't subscribe to the gender/MS myth. : )

    With both boys I had hg, vomiting until I had to be admitted to hospital. Countless medications. Lasted until 20 weeks. But with dd, only mild nausea, occasional vomit, no medications, no hospital. Ended at 12 weeks. It was so different.

    With DD1 i didn't really get it - I was nausea's a few times, and I threw up if I ate Pizza...

    But with DD2 I was sooo soooo sick for the whole nine months! I was trying to take the kids to school each morning and there is 4 traffic lights from home to school - I stopped and threw up at ever red light. I was on maxalon and this is part of the reason I am scared about going for another.

    Two girls here and two very different experiences with MS.
    DD1 I felt a bit off and would get sudden burst of feeling like throwing up. I loved meat and when I started showing I was very high straight away. My face and hair were the best they have been in years too.

    DD2 I was constantly sick and vomited a few times. I could not stand to cook and the thought of meat turned me green. When I started showing I was low and stayed low the whole pregnancy. My hair felt horrible all the time and I got pimples. Everyone was convinced I was going to be told boy because they were so opposite.

    DD1 - no MS, not even a bit of nausea.

    DS - Queasy if I hadn't eaten for a while, otherwise all good.

    DD2 - horrid all-day nausea from the moment of conception till about 14 weeks. Reappeared around 30 weeks but not as bad as earlier in the pg.

    Everyone was convinced that I was having a boy this time because I was much sicker this pregnancy. Im having another girl

    Hmmmm...

    DD - was pretty well fine up until about 9-10 weeks then got hit with huge amounts of throwing up, threatened hospitalisation which then settled a little at about 20 weeks into chucking once or twice a week throughout the whole pregnancy.

    Penguin - again pretty well fine, a bit of mild nausea until about 12-13 weeks but getting progressively worse, to where I'm now throwing up a couple of times a day most days. Worse if I get too hungry and then try to eat. Not sure how long it's going to last.....hoping it goes away soon! Oh and found out the other day we're having a boy this time

    Wow! It's so interesting!! Thanks girls!

    I have to say, although I do find this fun, I don't buy into the gender myths either but it would appear SO many people around me do! I can't believe the 'oh it must be a....' has started already!

    These stories are great, I have some ammo if required now I was so over everyone telling me I was having a boy last time, because of all my signs and symptoms and the way I carried, that I wanted to put our PA on the 5pm news as our baby was in fact a girl! I'd have been more than happy with either sex but man are all those 'it must be...' comments annoying and I was so sick of the boy ones!

    With my first I got m/s till about 12wks. With my second I didn't get it at all. I felt a little off here and there sometimes in the first 12wks but that was all. I've got 2 boys.

    I was hoping the no m/s meant I was having a girl the second time around but it wasn't to be.

    My first pregnancy ms started at 6 weeks with vomit in the morning and at night, but felt fine during the day, that lasted until 20 weeks and I had a lil girl

    2nd Pregnancy started around 7 weeks with really horrible vomiting and all day sickness and was in hospital twice on a drip, that again lasted till about 20 weeks, and had a few bouts of it up until I gave birth to my lil man.

    This pregnancy it started around 6 weeks with nausea, and about 7-8 weeks with vommiting, normally once or twice a day I visit the toilet, some days was 3 or 4 times, and then I had a weeks break when i got to 14 weeks, well the past 4 days its been back, so weird! Don't know yet what we are having... will be interesting!
