    Sad Face Morning sickness and gender questions

    Hi all, preg with third and so confused....swayed like crazy for a baby girl to complete our family. While I was so so sick with my two boys (hospitalise with first and moderately ill with second) I am now seven weeks and despite a couple of days of slight queasiness nothing really....so confused as the studies say that most occurrences of bad ms come from girl pregnancies.....please help me shed some light on this....of course I am so happy not to be sick just surprised and perplexed!

    I wouldn't bank on it being a boy yet! I was also pretty sick with each of my boys and a lot of my friends who had boys first were too. A few of them that are having/ had girls have all had hardly any sickness! So, I think you can never tell. Fingers crossed x

    Sadly you can't tell with MS - I felt just the same with my DD as I did with my three boys (luckily no MS) Good luck though xx

    I've have no morning sickness with this pregnancy at all and am expecting a boy. Several of my friends have had horrible MS and also had boys. I hope you get your little pink bundle x

    The studies DO NOT say that "most instances of bad ms come from girl pregnancies". That's totally untrue. There is a slightly higher rate of hyperemesis in girl pregnancies but it's only like 1-3% higher (sorry I just moved and haven't brought my studies from my old house or I'd give you the exact number). I know TONS of women who had hyperemesis with their boy pregnancies.

    Regular morning sickness tells nothing about gender and that has been proven in studies too. It's only the miniscule difference in rates of hyperemesis.

    I had the least amount of MS with my girl and one of my boys. My other three boys I was much sicker. I also know several people who were not sick with their girls.

    I was very sick with my boys. DS1 felt sick until 6 months. With DS2 I got fluids several times and was puking until 7 months. MS has been much better with the girls. I puked a few times with DD1 and with this one haven't puked at all and MS got much better at 10 weeks with this one. With both my girls the MS has been practically nonexistent by 15 weeks.

    The girls bad morning sickness thing I think is just a wives tale. It was one of the many wives tale reasons I really thought DS2 was a girl and had really bad GD.

    THANK YOU GENDER DREAMING!!!!!

    No one read too much into this, but so many of us boy mamas seem to get girls finally and have less morning sickness than we did with our boys, I have to admit I"m honestly wondering if this old wives tale could even be bass-ackwards!

    Two others who had little to no MS with girls after having it with their boys are Snips and snails and Meeks32.

    I was sooooo sick with both boys (vomiting so forcefully I'd pee all over at the same time!!!!!) With DS2 I was sick till the 26 week mark! My best friend has 2 boys as well and had bad m/s with both. I have 3 best friends with 2 girls each and none of them had very much m/s. Maybe some queasiness or dry heaving, but no throwing up at all.

    Hoping if I get pregnant with a girl I'll have much less m/s!
