morning sickness and gender

Just thought I'd put this in the general for more replies from people who have had 2 or more kids!

Have you found that you've been sicker carrying your girl babies rather than your boys or vice vs, or the same?

Im not sure what this one is yet (will find out in four weeks!) but with DD I had morning sickness every day from week 7 till week 20. With this bubs its been from 7 or 8 weeks and seems to have stopped at 15 weeks! friends of mine also seemed sicker carrying girls rather than boys and thought maybe it has to do with the female hormone or something... or not lol.

So what have you found?

Hmmm I vomited in the morning & started feeling better around 11am with my girl but had 24 hour nausea with my boy. Both from 7-14 weeks. Boy I had nausea again at the end.

I was quite ill with DS from 6 weeks, used to get the worst car sickness every time I was a passenger and was ill up until 20ish weeks with a break until 28 ish weeks and then I started getting bad MS and vomiting in the mornings until the end.

With DD I had bad MS from 6-16 ish weeks and that was it

Both my girls I threw up,especially with my second girl,was the hand over mouth running to bathroom type throwing up,and it went from 7weeks till about 17.

with my son I all day nausea and only was sick a couple of times

So in my case throwing up meant girl

3 boys and the middle one was completely different, I was tired and grumpy and feeling pretty blah right from day of conception, I had gone to the docs to find out what was wrong with me only to discover i was 4 weeks preg........and I had pretty nasty MS and exhaustion through the whole pregnancy....I was under a bit more stress though living in a Different country.   Where as my first I got MS from 7 weeks, just pretty average sea sickness feeling MS, but not too bad, I was only 18yrs old and my last boy who is coming up 18months I got no symptoms even though I knew I was preg at 3.5weeks, but my MS kicked in exactly 6weeks to the day, but with the aid of ginger tablets was only annoyingly bad for a few weeks, I never had any time off work, so wasnt that bad, and I felt the healthiest through this pregnancy (if you dont count the small stroke I had)

So 3 boys, 3 different.....and only my first was to a different Dad.

I've only had one bub but had horrid MS from 6wks - 18wks. Was more like 'all day sickness'. Couldn't even think about food without vomitting, so basically lived on lemonade popsicles for first little while! Even spewed on myself whilst driving to work (on the motorway so couldn't stop). That was pretty awesome lol. Hoping that next time round I don't get it quite so bad. Made it VERY difficult to hide the pregnancy from work colleagues as I was running to the loo every 20mins.

Two boys here.

Had mild/moderate MS with J (mostly nausea with the occasional spew).

No MS at all with W (was still BF though, which I've heard helps?)

My sister had quite bad MS with both of her girls and was much better with her DS :) She was only really sick for the first trimester rather than the whole pregnancy. I only have one DS and the MS was not too bad with him, just the first trimester too :)

My sister was nauseas with her first but only threw up a couple of times. Her second she was really sick, threw up heaps and it lasted a lot longer - both are boys.

I have 2 boys.

First one, I had no morning sickness at all.
Second one, I had morning sickness from about 6 weeks until 18/20 weeks.

2 completely different pregnancys but the same gender in the end.
