Any major differences between pregnancies, just a feeling, any boy/girl signs you had???

First time I secretly wanted a girl and being a negetive person I convinced myself it would be a boy for this reason. He was!
This time I don't care as I know now that boys rock!!
I think for this reason I don't think about the sex now so I have no 'feelings' this time.
I think IMHO that when someone has 'that feeling' it's actually your deep conscious thoughts driving you to think a particular way depending if you think positive or negative and if you do have a preference IYKWIM!

I 'knew' with all 3 of mine - and was right in each case.

Totally positive I was having a boy with DS1. Even the thought I might have a girl inside me made me feel queasy. Pink clothes made me nauseous. I hadn't had a strong preference either way before I was pregnant, so not sure why I was so averse to a girl with him!

Didn't have a clue what I was having second time round, didn't care either way, totally different pregnancy (never felt more well with DS1, never felt more ill with DS2!) - another boy.

So its true then! Doesn't matter how different the second pregnancy (in my case super sick and in hospital this time) its not an indictaion of gender!
