Were you bigger all over carrying a girl and 'neater' carrying a boy?

I neater with my daughter than I was with my son.

macherie · 15/09/2009 21:12

Yes!

pinkmagic1 · 15/09/2009 21:12

Much bigger with my son.

I had a huge bump up front, but put on no other weight - could hardly tell from the back that I was pg, apart from my waddle. I was convinced it was a boy, as was everyone who saw me... Imagine our surprise when out popped a girl

Nope, got fat with DD, got fatter with DS (now working hard to lose a LOT of fat!).

Actually, having said that, carried DD pretty high and DS a lot lower and more out front, if thats what you mean.

I was so not neat when carrying DS.

lal123 · 15/09/2009 21:13

big all over with first dd, much neater (but bigger out front) if that makes sense withdd2

CrystalQueen · 15/09/2009 21:17

Nope, everyone kept telling me how neat my bump was (kind of annoying when I felt like a whale) and then DD was born.

I was small and neat when carrying DD1, gained very little weight.

I was the size of a house second time around, grew a huge arse, thunder thighs and a big wobbley belly, not sure what DD2 did to make that happen?

Does that blow the theory out of the water?

Big with both DD and DS - carried them the same. SO much so that I was convinced DS was a girl as the pregnancy/bump/weight distribution wasn't any different. He was a real surprise!

Oh god it must be the ammount I'm eating!!!!

I have been sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick this time, in and out of hospital, now its easing I can't stop eating!!

I had no sickess with my DS and was neat, I now look like a green whale!

With DD had nausea 7-14 weeks had to eat constantly to keep it at bay so put on a stone in trimester 1. With DS no nausea didn't put on any weight trimester 1 so was thinner / neater because of that.

Now this time have nausea am 8.5 weeks am putting on weight, hoping this means its a girl!

blinder · 15/09/2009 22:32

neater by far with DD

weegiemum · 15/09/2009 22:34

No difference whatsoever!

I was huge with all 3 of them (2 girls and a boy)

Everyone said with dd1 (1st baby) that she was a boy cos I wasn't "neat"

Or maybe thats cos she was 9lb12oz?

Claire2009 · 15/09/2009 22:35

HUGE with DD, carried everywhere. Didn't get a bump till I was 5mths. Then went enormous!
Neat with DS. Bump at 3-4mths, everyone thought I was having twins.

BeckyBendyLegs · 16/09/2009 08:20

My first two were very neat, up-front, bowling ball bellies and both came out boys. This one is the same so convinced it is a third boy but who knows! Perhaps some people just carry pregnancies like this: stick legs and arms and big round tummies!
