Here's just a quick survey.
Some people say morning sickness is worse if you're expeting a girl.
Is this true I wonder?
How about we all say what baby we had and if we had morning sickness or not and then in a few days I'll work the percentages out and post them on here- or shall I say in a week or so.
If we all list like this to make it easy for me to do the calsulations:

Dd- Bad morning sickness

WELL- the moment you've all been waiting for... drum roll... the results of the MN survey... drums please...

71% of women who had girls had morning sickness.
53% of women who had boys had morning sickness.

So yes if you have morning sickness you're more likely to have a girl BUT there's more than a 50% chance that it's a boy as well so not really conclusive- but fun-

According to MN mothers anyway.
There was a sample of 170 pregnancies included in the survey
