SPD sufferers past and present - link with sex of baby?? Poll time!

[bobsmum]

Was on an antenatal thread today (hello April people) and gemprincess mentioned that a specialist had said something about there being a connection between hormones, SPD and the sex of the baby.

So out of purely non-scientific nosiness, if you've had SPD or have it and know what the sex of your bump is, could you tell me please?

1st pg - no SPD - ds
2nd pg - SPD - dd
3rd pg - twinges, but so far not as bad - ? (19 weeks)

TIA

SPD and it's a girl

Spd and it was a girl.

a friend just had a baby girl after pg with SPD. None the first time with her DS

sorry to muck up the seemingly aparant connection -

DS born April 07 - SPD from 25 weeks - fairly badly.

Most other people I know have had DS's with SPD too.

SPD - girl.

I had it mildly with ds2, and looking back had some indications when pg with ds1 too.

what is spd?

I had it from about 17 ish weeks...off work from 22 weeks with crutches and unable to walk amy distance.. I had a girl

none with first 4 pg's
spd no,5

think its more age/ no of pg's than gender

another bomb dropped on it!
ds1 twinges from 30 weeks
ds2 from 20 weeks
dd from 20 weeks
? from 15 weeks and the worst of the lot

I was in a wheelchair ftom about 17 weeks with ds1 - couldn't walk. Horrific indescribable pain.

With ds2 I had some pain but nothing on the same scale, and was able to walk until the end.

dd1 born 1993 - no SPD
dd2 born 1994 - no SPD
dd3 born 2005 - bad SPD from about 30 weeks
ds born 2007 - bad SPD from about 10 weeks & also a dodgy SI joint - damn near wound up on crutches.

KermitTheFrau I hadn't heard about SPD being linked to hair colour before - I'm a redhead too.

DS1 in 2004 - SPD from 16 weeeks (could not walk weeks 22-24)

Now 16 weeks - sex ? - had pain weeks 10-14 including SI joint this time - I'm resting so not getting worse.

SPD, and pregnancy in general, much worse with my one girl pregnancy. My two boy pregnancies were virtually identical to each other and much easier in every way.

DS1 born dec 2004 - SPD from 25 weeks
DS2 born Sept 2006 - SPD from 15ish weeks

Having SPD and being a cellist is agony

Interesting about the red head thing - I have the ginger gene coursing through my veins.

spd from week 12 - ds 2007
had fantastic osteopath who kept it under control.

2DDs SPD from 15 weeks both times

at the description Kermitthefrau.

I'm not a redhead

Kermit's description is spot on!

Hmmm...so the theory's not really holding up atm?

At a quick perusal so far:

Out of 26 mild and worse SPD pgs:

10 girl pregnancies with SPD
13 boys
3 suprises

That's not exactly conclusive then

SPD and girl for me

I think its rubbish but heres me

DD no spd
DS1 SPD
DS2 SPD

He was a boy, and I had SPD from 11 to 41 weeks.
