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? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I had no ms whatsoever with my DD, was one of those glowy mum-to-bes... but not so glowy with this PG! to say the least, only thrown up once but have felt sickly on and off 24/7 since easter, with just a few days reprieve and symptoms started sooo much earlier too, really exhausted! Not sure yet what this littly is, but lots of people suggest a boy because of the difference, but don't think that rings true after reading a bit about it. Who knows ------------- http://daisypath.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

With DD I think I had worse MS and vomitted once. With this one (a boy) I have't vomitted at all, but still felt nauseous.
Overall, probably worse with DD than this one. -------------

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. -------------

I had 24 hour nausea ond the odd vomit with both pregnancies so both very similar and had a boy and then a girl. only difference was I had it until 17weeks with DS and only had it until 12ish weeks with DD.
My mum had 2 totally different pregnancies and had 2 girls so hard to tell lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

With DS I was sick with bad nausea from 6 weeks until about 13 weeks(that was gagging, watery mouth and vomited 2 times) with DD I had mild to moderate nausea from 7ish weeks until 12 ish weeks, no vomiting or watery mouth.
This one I started feeling really sick at 4 weeks, so started on maxalon anti nausea pills, which helps heaps, but now it seems to be slowly going away, I have sick patches rather than feeling sick all day long, but the patches can be quite bad, like yesterday i felt really sick
I think this one might be a boy, but wont find out until its born!  (found out at the scans with the other two)------------- |

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 :) ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

max 2 days of nausea with both girls, general feeling of unwell more so with the second but not morning sickness with either so to speak. Hopefully next time I cant comment on boy pregnancy - but I doubt it! ------------- http://lilypie.com]

I have heard people tend to be more sick with girls.
But I had nausea (no throwing up) with both of mine (boy and girl) from as soon as I conceived til about 10wks. I went off more food with DS, but basically pretty similar. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

I Had it bad with both, but with my boy it stopped around 20 weeks, for my daughter I was sikck for thw whole 42 weeks
My obstetrician said she thought i was having a girl as the extra oestrogen makes some women sicker - and I already have topo mayg hormones with PCOS so yeah *blerk* ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

My MS was much worse with my daughter. It started at 4 weeks and lasted till around 13 weeks. I only threw up once (with both pregnancies) but i had the worst nausea 24/7. With my son i think it started quite a bit later and i don't remember it being as bad. Funny thing is though i totally lost my appetite with him and lost 3kg in the first trimester whereas with my daughter i was STARVING all the time and didn't take me long to gain weight. Hehe. -------------

With DD I had nausea from about 6-12wks and that was it, only vomited while in labour with her. With DS the nausea was the same, and then I vomited twice around 20wks (and again an hour after he was born lol). ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I had hyperemisis with both my girls (hospitalised aswell) and just had mild case with my son tho was still very poorly. When pregnant with my angel twins I suffered the least! And now that I am pregnant again it's heading in the direction of what I had with my girls. ------------- Proud & busy mama of four earth walkers & two angels. About to get even busier!

| Severe hyperemesis with DS1 then just nasty MS through first and last trimester with DS2 so 2 quite different pregs (very different in a few ways) but both boys. |
