Hello!!! I’m currently in my second pregnancy. First one i had very little to none morning sickness, only craving those fatty savoury foods, it was such a easy 9 months, of course besides sleeping positions, and how tired i used to get 😅, based on wives tales was a boy, and it was correct. Now im only 8 weeks along, but i feel completely the same! no side symptoms only a bit tired but with a toddler and work it’s completely normal. i would love another little boy and if it was facts and based on it i would probably have another one as i feel exactly the same as before, plus my skin got so much better since. i know it’s only a luck based saying and it’s not scientifically proven, but it’s just for fun 😊 were the old wives tales right for you?

They weren't for me actually 😄

I craved beef and spicy food and was pleasantly surprised to find out i was having a girl instead of the boy everyone predicted! My dd loves meat and curries now

I felt the same in both of my pregnancies and was convinced that my second child was also a boy which I was really excited about. And then at my 20 week scan I was told she was a girl. What a shock! She's awesome though.
