do you get more sickness/nausea with girls than boys?

[lotsofcheese]

This is my theory, for what it's worth - what do you think? Most of my pregnant friends with nausea/vomiting/feeling terrible etc have gone on to have girls. And those who haven't seem to have boys and kept better in general.

Of course this is a bit of a generalisation, but I am curious if other agree (or not!)

That was the case for me!

I did. But I do know mothers of girls who were never sick at all.

I've had both and sickness was exactly the same.

I had other ailments with ds1 such as nose bleeds, heartburn, leg cramps etc and none of these with ds2 or dd.

So I don't seem to fit your theory.

I have 2 boys and now expecting a girl. I had no sickness at all with the boys and quite a bit with this one. So it is true for me.

I hope not cos i was sick several times a day for 7 months with DS and then occasionally sick up to and during the birth...

I have one of each and had no sickness with either of them. I was much more tired with ds but I put that down to having to run round after a 3 year old all day.

sick with both, but it was more predictable with DS than it has been this time. lost a lot more weight with him than this one though.

Puked like a bd with both. They were boys.

Yes, I did. I have a girl and a boy. With the girl pg the nausea was so bad that I couldn't eat and it continued throughout the whole pg (but did ease off after about 20 weeks), with the boy pg the nausea was pretty bad and I came close to throwing up a couple of times, but, oddly, I found that eating cheese ib crakers or crisps only seemed to ease it. It also got better much quicker, at around 14 or so weeks.

Puked for three months with DD

was sick once with DS

I was definitely sicker with my girl pregnancies than my boy one.

Other way round for me, DS I was sick for months! DD I didn't even feel nauseous once. This pregnancy I'm suffering with awful sickness again :-/ but will have to wait another 6 months to find out what the flavour of this one is :-)

Felt sick with both, but actually vomited much more with my girls than my boys.

Both the same with my daughters and son

I wasn't sick at all through my pregnancy - I had a girl! Sorry!

I have 4 ds's and was really sick with all of them now expecting again and hardly any sickness so we'll see??

Sick as a dog pretty much the whole pg. Had the same theory as you and was not at all surprised to be told I was having a girl. Mind you my sis had heartburn and no sickness and also had a girl

Not true for me. But then I never had any sickness with any of them.

I've only had boys - with one I was sick at 6pm every day for the first 6 months, with the other it was irregular, often, and went on the whole pigging time.

With my first it went like this:
Hardly any sickness
Craves sour and salty stuff
... it was a boy

With this one:
3 months of feeling queasy
utter exhaustion
Craves fruit and salad
... and it is another boy!

Goes to show it's all gobbledygook, but I know it's fun trying to guess!
