With my dd, I was very very sick from 7 till 17 weeks. Only thing I could eat was cheese and onion crisps Confused. Lost about a st in weight through this! Small bump (still in normal jeans a week before I gave birth Wink). Boobs same size

kittykatskumkwat · 11/10/2012 08:13

No sickness
No sweet cravings
Less then 2stone weight gain and a very low out front bump
No heartburn ( lots of hair!!)
Was in the same bra all the way through although boobs fuller but hardly much gain
And a girl! As you can see by reading non of it makes any difference abd everyone will have a different pregnancy, sorry

Yes to all, and I'm supposed to be having a girl (but I won't believe it til he/ she comes out!).

The main thing is that I bloated out straight away, all over, and also had very severe morning sickness for 5 months. The majority of women I know who were sick like this had girls.

I'm having a a girl and the only thing on the list I've done is crave sweet things.
No morning sickness, boobs not much bigger, heart rate fine throughout and no weight gain on hips. I was kind of hoping to get some curves but I look the same aside from having a football up my top!

What's the theory with leg hair? Haven't heard that one? Hmm

I have 2 ds' and with ds1 I ate a pack if haribo a day! With ds2 I craved crisps.

I had a totally different pregnancy with ds2 so thought it was a girl but it wasn't.

WhispersOfWickedness · 11/10/2012 09:49

I have a boy and girl. Both pregnancies were identical apart from the hair thing! With DS, I had the same amount of body hair as usual, with DD, it was much reduced, I only had to shave my legs once the entire summer Grin

TheFlumpsHaveEyes · 11/10/2012 09:50

Only two differences for me when I had DD to when I had my DSs -

  1. Heart rate was over 140 with DD (mwife said she would also 'guess' a girl as it sounded more like a galloping horse, rather than a steam train (for boys))

  2. My spooky friend predicted a girl when holding her swingy crystal over my bump - she also correctly predicted my DSs.

LexiLoganberry · 11/10/2012 09:54

I had a girl and had no symptoms except stronger sence of smell until the heartburn started at around 7 months.

stowsettler · 11/10/2012 10:42

I'm expecting a girl, I've had:-

  • sweet cravings
  • very little or no MS
  • non-existent sex drive
  • was on low-calorie diet before conception
  • much less hairy
  • gained lots of weight in first 10 weeks, barely 5lb since (now 22 wks)
  • ravenously hungry in first 10 weeks (see above point!!)
  • bump is a bit 'all over' IYSWIM
  • baby's HR was 135bpm on Tuesday.

Judging from other's replies, there's not much store to be set by the old wives' tales!!

MrsAmaretto · 11/10/2012 16:18

I had all those symptoms and had a large bouncing boy!

mrsbugsywugsy · 11/10/2012 21:31

- crave sweet things - up to about 20 weeks I craved savoury and pickled things, since about 20 weeks I have craved sweets and cakes
- lots of morning sickness no, just mild nausea
- boobs much bigger - yes, and right is bigger than left
- heart rate over 140 Bpm yes
