 Topic: Boys/girls and morning sickness
Posted: 24 July 2006 at 5:26pm |

Hi,
I just wonder how true this is - my gradma is insisting that because I'm not suffering from morning sickness, the baby is a boy. Yet mum says it makes no difference - a collegue of hers was really sick and ended up having twin boys.
So what do you ladies think? Can one tell by the "severity" of morning sickness if baby is boy or girl? I'm just bursting to find out - but we won't be able to for quite a few weeks yet....

Hi 
I wondered about this when i was pregnant with my son but after much investigation i discovered that it didnt seem plausable because i spoke to so many people like for example my SIL had a girl first and she was extremely sick!!! then she had a boy and she only had mild MS and now she is having another girl and she wasnt sick at all, a friend of mine had 3 boys and she had mild MS with the first, no sickness with the 2nd and severe MS with the 3rd , my mum had 2 girls and she never had MS st all. That was just a few but as you can see there wasnt a pattern so i didnt really beleive it.
Hope this helps

A lot of people predicted that I was having a boy too as I hardly had any morning sickness and it turns out they are right as I am having a boy but I am not sure if this is true for all situations. My sister had morning sickness with both her pregnancies and she had two girls. Another friend hardly had any morning sickness and she had twin boys. Will be interesting to see what you end up with ah?

I was chronically ill with Jacob, amd am even sicker this time, and I am convinced this baby is a girl... Personally, I think it is more genetics, if your mum was sick, you can expect to be. This is one old wives tale I Phooey at.

Sometimes Morning sickness doesn't kick in till a couple of weeks later...and if like me it stopped for a while at 12 weeks and then came back at 20 weeks. Everyones different

With Bailey I had morning sickness bad in the first and third trimester.
With this pregnancy I have had any *YET* so am thinking (as well as everyone else) that it is a girl
Fingers crossed it is a girl

I had no morning sickness... well a couple of weeks of feeling "off" but not enough to make me think that I might be pregnant!! and I had a girl.

Id love to have a girl and make our family complete, but having another boy would be cool too... then we will have another one
Maybe we will just have another one anyway

I have a friend with two boys, she had morning sickness for the first and none for the second! My mum had 4 girls and 6 boys and no morning sickness for any of them. So I'd agree that it's an old wives' fable.
I sympathise with you though, it seems like so long to find out! I'm hoping to find out next Friday... can't wait!

Two boys for me, 1st boy I got hyperemesis, so terrible preggy sickness particularly in the 1st & third trimester but I was sick all the way through. 2nd boy I had bad preggy sickness until around the 20 week mark & then it eased off to just mild sickness. I was told that its just a hormonal & mineral thing, the more the pregnany upsets your hormone balance the worse the preggy sickness. Seemed that way for me anyway as it wasn't as bad for my 2nd boy & I was breastfeeding so the hormone change wasn't so huge.

Both of my pregnancies have been really similar in terms of m/s... and I think this one is a girl? But no guarantees on that one, guess I'll have to wait and see?

I had horrible all day sickness instead of morning sickness and I am having a girl (or so they tell me?!?!)...
but my mother was insistant that I was having a boy cos I craved savoury foods and didnt want sugary stuff - I think all those old wives tales are the same -only right in 50% of the cases cos you have a 50/50 chance of guessing the sex anyway?!?!

I had no morning sickness and I have a beautiful little girl. I think it depends on the person who is pregnant and not which gender she is having.....thats just what I think!

I had no MS with Andrew, infact I had a great pregnancy with no problems until 36 weeks. This one I have had all day sickness, which is now starting to settle down to just the morning and evening. My MW thinks this one is a girl or i'm carrying 2 of them.
