Hi, i was wondering and wanted to know if there was a difference between carrying a boy and carrying a girl.

Did you feel worse/have more syptoms carrying a girl than a boy or a boy than a girl?

Wanted to see what the outcome is......

No difference. The only difference I felt was when carrying the DTs (girl/boy) and I was rough! Really rough!

jampots · 29/05/2005 12:24

I felt more nauseous and exhausted when carrying dd (first preg) but once I recovered I felt WONDERFUL!!!

When carrying ds (2nd preg) I had no symptoms for several weeks then the nausea hit and I couldnt even look at food. Also that then led on to feeling knackered and irritable and being quite pale etc.

Def first preg was the best by far!

DD1 - no nausea
DD2 - terrible nausea but no vomiting
DS1 - some nausea
DS2 - some nausea and exhausted all the time (but then I was 41 by then)

HTH. (If you are trying to guess what you're having on the basis of how crap you feel I don't think it will work )

i can't really tell,with ds i was so happy i had bags full of energy but it could have been the adrenaline, with dd i was extremely tired for the first 3 months but it could be because i already had ds and he was 2,sorry not much help

WideWebWitch · 29/05/2005 12:30

Hated being pregant with both, no nausea with either! That doesn't help at all, does it?

rodeo1 · 29/05/2005 12:30

Well I've got both a dd then a ds, have to say I don't think there was much difference. I was more achey with ds (maybe because it was pg no 3), sickness was roughly the same, tiredness about the same, my pgs seem to be pretty symptomless though. Although ds was more active.

Pg again and I think it may be a girl as it seems quite calm - it may be just a calm little boy though! (Here's hoping - i'm not sure there's such a thing!)

lou33 · 29/05/2005 12:33

WWW any input is good

No i am not really trying to guess the sex just trying to work out why i feel so so crap.

To be honest i would love to have another boy but if its a girl i am more than happy

dd - nausea all day
ds - no nausea at all

bigdonna · 29/05/2005 12:50

with my ds i had a permanent hangover(felt like it anyway).nausea,vomiting from day 1,until gave birth.my dd i did not have nausea,vomiting.and permanent hangover until 12 weeks it lasted until gave birth.

maddyd · 29/05/2005 12:53

Girl definatley worse. Sick, sick sick, couldnt move for 14 weeks without puking, and the boy was just nauseous

fastasleep · 29/05/2005 13:53

DS I was constantly sick and felt really ill and tired the whole time, I'm pregnant and hopefully find out on Friday whether it's a boy/girl... I was terribly sick at first but it wore off really nicely this time, I feel really tired and dizzy a lot but no sickness yay! Probably just another boy though!

SenoraPostrophe · 29/05/2005 13:55

I felt the same for both. I was slightly more uncomfortable with ds, but I think that was to do with the fact that he had more space to kick and with general stress levels. No morning sickness at all with either.

elibelly · 29/05/2005 13:57

I have one of each and both my pregnancies were the same, I had horrid 24 hours a day ms with both till about 6 months - hated being pg glad I never have to do it again.

hunkermunker · 29/05/2005 13:58

Hi ACU - sorry you're feeling so rotten

I'm at the same stage as you and have been feeling far sicker and more tired than with DS - people have said to me that it's a girl then, but I have no idea (or preference!) - won't be finding out at the scan either Will have to wait until January to discover whether there's any truth in the old wives' tales for me

With DS, I went off sweet things, totally. Even the word biscuit made me feel very queasy. This time, no such "problem"!

bluestar · 01/06/2005 20:11

Have a ds aged 4 and his pregnancy was a dream, no nausea, sickness, etc. Currently pg with a dd, felt sick from 8 wks to 23 wks, then extreme tiredness, then heartburn, then restless legs and generally feel crap most of the time. You could say I have had 2 very different pregnancies!!

Magscat · 01/06/2005 20:12

Much worse with ds but he was first so maybe my body was just more used to it/reacted less 2nd time around.

aloha · 01/06/2005 20:13

no difference

Miranda5 · 01/06/2005 20:47

I have had three boys and one girl ( ds,dd,ds,ds)
I knew that the last two were boys well before they were born simply because I was so much sicker with the girl. Old wives tale maybe but true for me!

pepsi · 01/06/2005 21:01

Was sick in beginning with both. Physically sick more with ds but felt sick all the time at the beginning of pg and was really tired, perhaps because I had a 2 yr old to look after. With ds I felt sick again at end of pregnancy.

pepsi · 01/06/2005 21:01

sorry meant that I felt sick all the time with carrying ds at beginning.

Frizbe · 01/06/2005 21:09

Girl, was fine right the way thru re sickness, although had horrible trapped nerve thingy in hip/leg from 5 mths onwards!

Bozza · 01/06/2005 21:18

1 of each and both pregnancies nausea and one day of sickness at about 11/12 weeks. Absolute exhaustion in first trimester (compounded in second pg by having toddler). Then rest not much different. Piles came on earlier in first than second bizarrely. WAs bigger with first (boy) than second and had bigger baby (9 10 as opposed to 8 12).

mummyhill · 02/06/2005 11:32

Pregnancy with dd was a dream this time round i feel lousey have been sick from day 1 am now 26 weeks and still being sick, this baby is much more active than dd was as well heartburn has kicked in with a vengance, i have no energy to do anything most of my friends are convinced it's a boy will find out in september!! Economically a girl would be lovely as we kept all of dd's stuff however it would be quite nice to have one of each. Am deffinatley not having anymore after the way this pregnancy has made me feel.
