I know this is an old wives' tale and it's been done before, but what's the answer?

Only two ex utero and they are lovely but saw a woman on holiday with a string of five (all in matching baseball caps) and could see how it happened...

I had all day "morning" sickness and had a DD

Twiglett · 12/09/2005 17:24

virtually no m/s with DS

puked for england for 4 months with DD

I think its true

(also have a theory that no libido = boy / much libido = girl .. but that seems to be just me)

RosiePosie · 12/09/2005 17:30

MS worse with dd than with ds. This time it hasn't been too bad, so I'm convinced this one's another boy.
