I had "regular" morning sickness with 2 of my boys and HORRIBLE AWFUL TERRIBLE morning sickness with the other 2. I was throwing up all the time with the two of them and had to go on zofran just to keep food down. Not sure why I got so sick with 2 of them but all 4 are most definitely boys!
From what I have learnt, yes there is some correlation between severe morning sickness (hyperemisis) and carrying a girl. However, like anything there are many variables.
Horrible morning sickness every time. Just awful. My two good friends with hyperemesis, one has two boys and the other has three boys and a girl.Quote:

We have looked into this quite a bit through the years and the consensus, both scientifically and anecdotally is, that there is nothing to the idea. Hyperemesis (very severe morning sickness where you cannot keep food down at all and may have to go into the hospital even) is something like 3% more common if you are pregnant with a girl - not terribly significant.
I had NONE with all my three boys. It will be interesting to see if I do ever conceive a girl whether I get any.
My mom had 3 girls and didn't have m/s with us.
And then with me have horrid m/s with 2 of my boys and not-quite-so-bad m/s with the other 2 I honestly think gender might make a difference to some woman and others it won't. Who knows?!
Im sure we can't tell gender from m/s. I only have girls and it was all different.
I had two girls and I had morning sickness with both of them , but not bad. I had no morning sickness at all with my son.
I am exactly the same as glittergal when it comes to ms with DS.
