Hi ladies,

Just thought it would be interesting to hear people's experiences in the differences between when you've been pregnant with a girl Vs when you were pregnant with a boy? In terms of symptoms, did you have completely different pregnancys or very similar pregnancys?

Reason I ask is Ive had one son and I had absolutely zero symptoms with him pretty much my whole pregnancy.. pregnant again with baby #2 and again absolutely zero symptoms.. makes me wonder whether it may be another boy?

Ds1 - horrific nausea for first 12 weeks. Horrible food aversions to just about everything for first 12 weeks and then meat for the whole pregnancy. Lived on toast and banana for first 12 weeks. PGP was really bad. 9lb 11oz 41+1

DS2 - exactly the same as DS1 but I couldn’t even tolerate the banana so lived on dry crumpets. PGP was so bad I had crutches. 8lb 11oz 40+1

DD1 - mild nausea for first 12 weeks but could eat. Food aversions to lumps of meat only (minced meat was fine). PGP again. 5lb 6oz 35+1

DD2- currently 29w pregnant. No nausea or food aversions other than to battered food and coffee (and ironically I got Campylobacter from mishandling raw chicken 8 weeks ago for the first time in my life.). PGP is very mild so far (only when turning in bed). Have had severe reflux since 10DPO, which is a first for me. I’ll be induced at 37w and she’s another big baby (estimated to be 98th centile according to bump measurements and growth scans).

All the best with DD2.

How accurate were your other growth scans?

My DD 2 measured off the chart. She was actually 25th centile when born but really long (98th for length). Her abdo measurements were always huge so I was expecting a little potbelly baby.... I got so skinny nobody else would change her nappy worrying they would snap her 😬

Have a little boy already, and currently 25 weeks pregnant with a girl. My pregnancy has been so so so different!

Boy pregnancy - straight forward, bad queasiness and lack of energy, couldn’t stand husband to touch me, sore boobs, dairy made me sick but loved chocolate and orange flavoured stuff

Girl pregnancy - already had double the scans that I did for boy due to various being awkward reasons 😅 Sick a lot, lack of energy, very emotional, can’t get enough of husband, boobs same, gone off sweet stuff… and I’ve craved cheese 🤣
