Pregnancy

anyone had 2 identical pregnancies which turned out to be different sexes?

So am pg with no.3

This pg feels exactly like when I was pg with DD (sick, utterly exhausted, craving sugar, emotional and moody) and nothing like when I was pg with DS (not v. sick, not TOO exhausted, craved meat and salty stuff, mood normal) so I am convincing myself it is a girl. Has anyone has something similar but the pg turn out to be the other sex baby (i.e. in my case I would be having another DS)

I have had 3 utterly different pregnancies, feel, look, symptoms the lot and all of mine are girls so I'm afraid I don't think it is an accurate predictor, good fun thinking about it though

Two identical pregnancies here:-

morning nausea but not sickness
showing at 16/17 weeks
exhaustion up to 14 weeks and then again after 32 weeks
kicking at 22 weeks
bumps at front and low down
water infections
both went overdue
both induced

You name it it was the same.

The result DS and then.......DD

Who knows what the hell that proves but hopefully will satisfy your curiousity

I had 2 different pregnancies, really vomitting but fine inbetween, then textbook pg till the end (incl labour) with DD1, then bearable nausea, cholestasis, small bump, induction with DD2.

Now Number 3 so far has given me really awful nausea and vomitting, major tiredness, I'm already showing a generous pot belly etc..

Will see in a few months if it's blue or pink, won't we?

Both pgs, resulting in ds & dd:
-use to keel over with tiredness at about 6pm in the first trimester
-had powers of supersmell, would feel nauseous but was sick
-late to feel movement & late show
-small at the front bump
-both overdue

MW said the only difference was the speed of the baby's heart-rate, which can indicate the sex.

Two identiacl pregnancies and i'm having my second ds!

I asked the very same question early in my pregnancy to see if was possible that i could be having a girl with same syptoms as ds. It was, but i'm not !

thanks for all your replies - I don't think I will accept that my theory has completely fallen though as no-one has said (yet) that they had 3 pregnancies, first one sex, second completely different and other sex, third same as first but diff sex...

However I must admit I had to fight the desire to nick a sausage off DH's plate yesterday (I am veggie) so maybe this pregnancy is not so identical to my first...
