Can you predict gender by pregnancy symptoms?

[keepthefaith]

Hoping the answer is no to this as I pretty much feel the same this time as I did with two boys and even two m/c prior to them ending!

Just wondered! Thanks

I just found out I'm having a girl and I feel exactly the same as I did with my 2 boys :)

In a word, no.

My friend has 5 girls and said all of her pregnancies were different from no symptoms whatsoever to food craving, pica on another and horrible all day morning sickness for half of her pregnancy for her last.

NO! My girl and DS 2 pregnancies were the most similar. The other three were all over the map. Like bunny mentions I had pica with one, threw up every day with one, terribly sleepy with another one - no rhyme or reason to it, all boys.

I truly think it depends on the individual person. Right now, personally, yes I noticed differences. Perhaps my next pregnancy will teach me that it was all a coincidence:) But just on my experience up to date, yes there were differences.

Mommymachine- what were your differences? I've had 2 girl pregnancies and this one is very different.

No, I don't think so. I've known heaps of girl mums with no symptoms at all and heaps of boy mums that were as sick as a dog. I really don't put much stock into this. I've only had one pregnancy so have nothing to compare, but I was pretty sick with it and emotional, which I think is meant to signal a girl? Anyway, I had a boy :)

So far all my pregnancies and their symptoms have been different! In fact each pregnancy has felt worse each time. dS1 nausea and heart burn. Ds2 sick everyday till 17 weeks and migraine headaches every evening but no heart burn. This time I have had all the other symptoms combined. No pattern and don't believe in the old wives tales (fell for that with DS2, he was all boy at my scan!!!)

My boys felt different than my girl, right from week 1. I felt great with my boys but was sick the whole pregnancy with my girl. Could be coincidence, hard to say!

Sick for much longer with my girls than I was with my boys (with DS2 and 3 I was barely sick at all). This is the main difference. I also had heartburn with them but not with the boys.

I suppose for some people it might be significant. I won't know as we are team green, but my pregnancies with the girls were carbon copies, and I had much much less nausea (as long as I snacked I was feeling great). With the girls, if I had a chance to get zofran, I would have done it in a heartbeat because I was so desperate.

My first pregnancy was a girl and that was horrible had to be put on medication, both ds's were similar just a bit of dizziness and dd2 while i was a little more sick than with the boys still wasnt as bad as dd1 so i wouldnt guess based on symptoms. I also have a cousin that threw up 9 months with her ds1 and not once with ds2 so you never know.
