hi ladies were you really sick with your girls compared to your boys ??

[littlemissnaughty7]

and if so when did it start and for how long ? and if not please say too many thanks,

[NewYorkmom]

I have one daughter and two sons. I felt great during all my pregnancies and never had any morning sickness at all. I actually felt like myself only tired. All of my pregnancies felt pretty much the same. My mom did note that when I was pregnant with my daughter that I was very moody/and had a short temperament. I feel very fortunate especially seeing what some of my friends go through.

I did not have horrible ms with any, but it was definitely worse with my girls. With my DS I was fine as long as I was constantly eating. The minute I became hungry I felt sick. With the girls I felt yucky even when I ate. I never threw up just didn't feel well.

I hesitate to share this because I worry that people will read too much into it. Feeling "sicker" with DS 3 is one of the main reasons I ended up having such bad GD with him.

My mom NEVER had one iota of morning sickness with any pg and she has girls and a boy. She used to think morning sickness was psychological.

I didn't have more sickness with this baby but I have had DIFFERENT sickness.

With all the boys' pg it started at 5-6 weeks and lasted thru 13-14 weeks.

I was terribly sick with DS 1 (threw up every day 1-2 times in the morning but always felt better as the day went on)
Not very sick at all with DS 2 (was queasy in mornings but sucked on Jolly Ranchers and felt better as day went on)
Sick again with DS 3, all day every day and had to eat every hour or two to keep from feeling terrible.
Sick again with DS 4 all day every day and had to eat every hour or two. Also had terrible diarrhea for several weeks during the first tri.

With all the boys I had strong cravings esp. for tomato, and mild aversions to food where something wouldn't sound good but I could eat anything.

Now with this pg:

Overall, I am LESS sick than with the boys.
My sickness started very early, like 3 weeks and it is STILL going on at 20 weeks. If anything, it's getting worse, not better. I threw up last night for the first time in the pg!!!
I was rarely if ever sick in the morning. Instead I often feel sick after eating, with the boys I felt better after eating.
I gag really really super easy so anytime I cough or brush my teeth, I retch (that is what made me throw up last night.)
I have strong food aversions where I really CAN'T eat certain foods, especially garlic.
Tomato stuff is repulsive to me
I have very little appetite and have not gained as much weight as I did with the boys.
I had the same thing I had with DS 4 with the weeks of diarrhea in the first tri but worse. like 6-8 times a day it was awful
My cravings are SERIOUSLY strong and have been almost all for "boy" foods like mustard. Things that seem like "girl" foods like fruit did not taste good.

Oh and my oldest son said he thinks I've been in a way way way better mood with this pg.

hmmmmmmm very interesting, ive only just started feeling sick so i cant really say whats what at the mo, but i went off tomatoe things with my boys but so far so good, ive gone of chicken things tho lol, ive just noticed aswel what i thought were bags under my eyes are actually brown like stains which wont come off its like there tanned on or something !!!!! and my tummy is still flat as a pancake which with both boys i had a def bloated bell by now,

I was way sick all day with DD1 from 5wks till 16wks, and then mildly sick with DD2 from about 6wks until 14wks or so, but I controlled it much better the second time around. I wouldn't read too much into it.....everybody on the planet Earth told me I was probably having a boy because I had much less ms with #2, and I heard millions of stories of ms where gender didn't matter.

Well, I'm one person who hopes the OWT is wrong - for me, at least. This pregnancy I haven't really felt sick at all - only first thing in the morning until I've eaten something. I haven't thrown up at all and hardly ever even gag. I've had no food aversions and eat everything and anything in sight .

My m/s was worst with my twins - I threw up religiously twice a day from about 8 weeks until 13 weeks. With ds3 it wasn't bad at all, but I was a little nauseous from about 6 weeks until 9 weeks. My mw was worried when I told her my m/s had disappeared so early and suddenly, but the little guy was fine.

So, this is definitely the easiest pregnancy so far m/s wise. I'll know next week whether I'm having a boy or girl....

Yes with all my girls started around week 6. This time less than a week of ms around week 7.
