More nausea with a girl or boy

[3lele]

Hi guys,

i know it’s an old wives tale but for those that have had a boy and a girl, which were you more sick with?

No you’re right I can’t read. Not sure how I can write, but surely they aren’t related.

Well I didn’t say you can’t read lol I said I’m guessing you didn’t read. As I said, though this post was purely out of curiosity, not claiming to be any scientist here 😃

Not sick with either a boy or a girl but horrific heartburn with both, worse with the girl. Terrible pelvic girdle pain both, worse for the boy. Sciatica both.

”Old wives tale” with sweet cravings for a girl and salty for a boy was true for me

Random people used to say I was carrying a girl as well so maybe there’s something to that, they were correct

Strangely I currently don’t crave either sweets or crisps etc. postpartum

Hormones are weird things

This for me too!

Girl 1 my husband has never seen me so sick, lived on bathroom floor.
Girl 2, very rarely got sick

Girl for me

2 boys. V sick with the first, none at all with the second.

DD 1 - no sickness.
DS2 - awful sickness.
DD3 - no sickness.

I knew as soon as I threw up in early pregnancy I was having a boy 🤣

I have a boy and a girl. Exactly the same level of sickness with both- I had nausea but was never actually sick.
It was fractionally worse with my son, but he was my first baby and I handled it better the second time- knew what to eat and avoid etc.

One of each and was sick with both. Son first and had nausea until about week 14. With my daughter, I don't think it ever stopped. In addition to nausea, I was also vomiting as well as being sick from reflux. Omeprazole helped quite a bit but don't think the sickness ever really left me.

2 girls and a boy

Dd1: sick at least 5 x every day until 30 weeks
Dd2: sick several times a day until 20 weeks, then it came back at 32 weeks til the end

DS: nausea for the first 14ish weeks, but only sick about 10 times in entire pregnancy. It was a big difference

My mum was more sick with my brother (nausea for 4 months) than she was with me (nausea for 3 months). I'm on my first pregnancy so I have nothing to compare but my sickness was very intense (at peak I was vomiting 5 times a day) but only lasted for 1 month.

Same with both. Nausea all the way through, not quite as bad after 20 weeks.

Boy - sick 4-6 times per day until 20 weeks
Girl - sick 8+ times per day until 22 weeks, required several admissions
Boy - heavily medicated, sick 4 times per day until 22 weeks

Thanks so much, everyone. Loving reading the responses

DD - not nausea as such but lots of food aversions which turned my stomach.
DS - only felt sick when hungry. No food aversions.

All three of mine are boys. I was horrendously sick until 20 weeks with all three of them.

I can promise you from
personal experiences that it makes no difference.

Sick for most of the pregnancy for both boys.

Barely had any sickness with either, but of what there was I was far sicker with DD than DS.

I've had a boy and a girl. Sick with both pregnancies, but the sickness was stronger, longer and started sooner with my girl.

I felt the same with both, no sickness and a tiny bit of nausea. I don't think its down to the sex of the baby but more to do with biology of the Mum. People were convinced my first was a boy due to how I was carrying, she is very much a girl!

No sickness with boy, nausea with my girls

I felt like Bella from twilight carrying my daughter 😔.

Pretty much the same, 1-3 times a day with DS, more consistently twice a with DD.
