Does anyone believe that pregnancies differ depending on the sex of the baby or is it a myth?

Hi,

I am 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd. I have two DS's. I have had two good pregnancies with both and never suffered any morning sickness with either of them. I never had any mad 'cravings' but became partial to Ginger Beer and went off coffee (nothing unusual) I had small ish football style bumps with both (although my second got a lot bigger very early on).
So far I have no sickness again and apart from the tiredness, feel as I normally would. I have noticed how my tummy has swollen dramatically in the last couple of weeks and hasn't yet gone down!
I'm wondering if anyone who has had both boys and girls had had very different pregnacies and whether anyone has experienced a similar pregnancy and had a different sex.
I know people come out with all sorts, it's the size of the bump, if you get sick and weren't before etc etc. Wondering whether most is an old wives tale or not!

Pressed send too soon.

At 12 weeks this time I was told it's s boy. I've been very, very nauseated. Worse that DD1 but not as bad as DD2. Already put on loads of weight like I did with DD1 but not DD2. So basically I say no pattern.

Myth

I also think its a myth.

Im 28weeks pregnant with DD2 this pregnancy is different.

I'm still being sick now, still cant drink coffee. I also vomit terribly if I drink or eat anything with milk in it.

With DD1 I used to drink pints of milk, I never vomited after 18weeks and loved coffee. I was also in and out of hospital eith bleeding.

Myth but in a different way.

My DS was born yesterday afternoon (hence why I'm awake at 2am). I had a slightly different pg than with my DD BUT have been much sicker with him. I think the old wives tales would have put him as being a girl...

I have 2dd and 2ds with the girls I had morning sickness, extreme fatigue, breakouts and was huge, but with the boys I had energy, no morning sickness, looked radiant and had tiny bumps. I struggle to carry boys as my placenta gives up, and we are very lucky to have them both, ds2 spent two weeks in scbu and ds1 was in hospital 6 days!

Now expecting dc5, and feel so rough :( so watch this space if the theory is right lol x
