Moms of mixed gender children-what was difference in symptoms between your girl and boy pregnancy

[Mochagirl]

I don't think it's fair to compare my twin pregnancy to my two singleton ones, so I'll leave it out.

My pregnancies with ds3 and dd1 have been very similar: no m/s, the same cravings (lots of fruit and sweets, not too keen on meat)

Some differences with my girl pregnancy: I'm carrying high and my bump seems smaller, and my boobs are huge and still very painful at 22 weeks

I had pretty bad m/s with DS 1, 3, and 4, barely any with DS 2. With this baby, I didn't have morning sickness but I often felt bad after I ate. My stomach would just HURT, not really nauseous. I had diarrhea several times a day for like 6 weeks.

This was the only pg where i have strong food aversions. I don't want meat AT ALL and also am iffy on vegetables and eggs. I can eat meat that I didn't cook or see raw (like fast food and deli meat, not exactly healthy!)

My stomach did take longer to show and I didn't gain as much weight early on as I have with my other pg.

She is the strongest kicker of all.

With my boys I had worse morning sickness and gained more weight. Overall more emotinal. My dd was less weight, less m/s, and just felt better. Im guessing this one is a boy because I feel AWFUL!

Thanks for the replies.
This pregnancy is so different to my boys. Only for my scans I wouldn't even know I'm pregnant. No sickness, tiredness has worn off and I feel really well. Apart from little pimples around the side of my face and a bigger appetite with a lot of food aversions I can't complain. long may it last!

My ds1 and ds2 pregnancies were similar: looked great, fantastic skin, sickness from week 4 to week 40 pretty much. With my dd I broke out in acne and my skin remained awful throughout pregnancy. I wasnt sick once. Exactly the same as this pregnancy which lead me to think it would be another girl... It is most definitely a little boy though. So dont buy into symptoms xx
