Does it feel different being pregnant with a girl ?

random question but my first baby was a boy and I am pregnant again and wondering if it feels different to be pregnant with a girl. Its early days for me yet but I seem to have the worst PMT ever and I don't remember feeling like this with my son. I am also feeling far more sickly earlier. Might just be that each pregnancy is different ?
Those who have one or more of each were there any differences in how your pregnancy was ?

My first was a boy, then a girl. I felt appalling with both of them (hyperemesis etc) but actually I was sicker with DD (I didn't think it was actually possible to be any worse than I was with DS, but it was!). It might be that each pregnancy is different, but it might be a girl, you can never tell!

I felt much worse with my second pregnancy, much sicker and more exhausted. I was convinced I was having a girl - but I had another little boy. There is no way of knowing except to find out at a scan or on the day.

I have 2 girls and both pregnancy were very different. Sickness for the first, none for the second, liver problems with the second, none with the first, I was also carrying differently. Had 2 girls though!

Pregnant with number 3 at the mo, and the sickness is awful, I'm very dizzy, much worse than I was with Number 1, so Dp jokes it 'll be twin girls. Eeeek!

i was very sick with my son right throughout pregnancy. currently 32 weeks pregnant and this is a little girl. i was sick for good 20 weeks but nowhere near as bad. had far more niggly things with this one though like bad back, anaemia etc.
