I wanna know what your symptoms were! For Boy and/or girl

[BessieBye]

Evening ladies!!

I’m very early in my pregnancy, a little impatient waiting for my booking appt/scan so thought I’d start a little thread off cos ALL I wanna do is talk about my little pip 🥰

Some might think I’m getting ahead of myself, but honestly I don’t care. I want to be excited!

Soooo, for last week or so I’ve been thinking (even tho it’s early, do not bite at me!) wow, what if I’m disappointed if I have a little boy? I always wanted a girl.

However, the past couple of days I have been reading forums on here and looking at little boys things on here and I can honestly say... I am disappointed in myself for even thinking ‘I’d rather have a girl’.

I will be delighted either way and he have decided not to find out the sex 😄 I am looking at it as if I have a baby girl, I will have that mother/daughter bond I have with my Mam which will be amazing... if I have a boy, I get to experience a WHOLE other brand new experience. Both make me sooo excited! I just thought I’d love to my bursting love with someone. Hope that’s ok! 😍

So what I want to know is:

What were your symptoms for your babies sex? Have you had one of each and your symptoms were same/different? Did you have any intuition of what you were having and were you right?

Looking forward to hearing your stories!!

I wanted a girl but then found out I was having
a boy and now I wouldn't change it for the world. In my experience I just got really hairy which is a sign you're having a boy.

@fhhhhhhf do you think a lot of women want a girl because they ‘know what it’s like to be a girl’? That’s what I thought. Plus I’m extremely close to my mam and my sister so the thought of not having the mother/daughter bond was scary. But I think I’m over it already 😁x

Girl I had some morning sickness this time some mild nausea But no sickness and mild heartburn but don’t know the sex.
My friend had very different symptoms with both of hers and had two boys, there’s really no way to tell from symptoms.

For my boy I had bad morning sickness up to 12 weeks with lots of vomiting. Nothing else stands out. For my girl, my morning sickness felt a lot worse and lasted until I was 15 weeks but no vomiting. The hair stopped growing on my legs though! That was the main symptom that really stood out along with not being able to drink tea in the evening, I had to have a glass of milk instead.

All different symptoms for all 3 pregnancies. And all 3 Girls!

First pregnancy with a boy, main side effects were some nausea particularly around week 9/10. Linea nigra all the way up to breasts, lots of new moles and skin tags around neck and breasts, very sore bleeding gums.

Second pregnancy with boy, none of the above apart from the skin tags and moles. Have had no other signs or symptoms of being pregnant. Had to keep wondering when things might change but they never did.

Have a daughter and pregnant with another daughter. First pregnancy just wanted muffins, this one I wanted meat, mustard and beer.
No sickness with either.
Carried much the same, v Low like a wrap around bump.

Only had a girl but was so so sick, this time I'm also really sick but suspect boy. I'm not bothered either way just hate being pregnant

I’m having a boy and always wanted a boy - everyone has assumed it’s a boy too, as they say they can just see me with boys.

Barely any symptoms - no sickness or nausea, a bit more tired than usual, carrying wrap around and high. Food-wise, I’m wanting crunchy things, so lots of carrots, apples and crisps, as well as Fanta/Tango orange and decaf coffee!

I had horrible sickness in all my pregnancies which lasted until around 20 weeks. Not nice, as you can imagine.

All three of mine are boys - and I was wrong about the sex every time good job I wanted boys

With my daughter I had morning ,noon and night sickness😟,craved bacon sandwiches and went off drinking tea(tasted"earthy").
With my boy I retched most mornings but wasn't actually sick and craved iceberg lettuce.
My bump was the same shape for both pregnancies.

@BessieBye That's what it was for me. Also I have three little cousins 2 girls one boy. I found that I connected with the girls better but I suppose you can never know until they're here. They always say mummys boy daddys girl x

Girl - morning sickness all day for 3 months, couldn't keep food down and tired beyond belief.
Boy- same as above.

One of each. Horrendous nausea with both. Dc1 (boy) I craved pickled eggs and with dc2 (girl) haribo. Carried the same based on photos. No heartburn with either.

I'm pregnant with a boy. The first symptom was going off of coffee (which I usually love). It tasted god awful. Then really bad fatigue and nausea until the second trimester. Loads of hair (and I'm quite hairy already!) but then a lot of my head hair was shedding.

I'm pregnant (ftm) with a boy, not many symptoms (bit tired and off food) I always thought I wanted a girl first but I suspected I was having a boy and was so happy when they told me it's a boy!
Good luck with your pregnancy!

I'm having a boy and not a lot of symptoms really, at the start I really lost my appetite & from about 20 weeks I have got really hairy!! 💙

I have two children - a boy my oldest and my daughter.

With my son I had symptoms very early on despite being my first pregnancy I noticed them really earlier (he wasn't planned either so wasn't looking for symptoms). Funny taste and smell senses, tiredness, cramps and sickness very early on. The sickness was extreme with DS. I lost a lot of weight and was very ill. I could hardly eat.

With my daughter it was different. She was planned but symptoms were much later. I felt a bit 'off' a day or two before I took a test but other than that I felt fine. I felt fine up until about 8 weeks when the sickness started but the sickness was a lot milder than with my son. I was so tired with her too but I did have a toddler too which didn't help.

With both of them I went off food. With DS I barely ate. With Dd I ate but could only
Manage small portions. I wish I still only ate small portions now they are 9 & 5 🤣🤷‍♀️

Nausea with both

Ds-craved milk

Dd-leg hairs stopped growing
Every night at around 2am, I would wake up with itchiest fanny you could imagine-almost clawed myself to death for around an hour
Very swollen legs, hands and fanny
