Same as far as the huge, sore boobs. Definitely more nausea but not extreme comparatively, same exhaustion, same emotions.Quote:

And I did not have this acne or frequent headaches with my son! Weight gain has been excessive in 1st trimester as it was with my son (almost 15 lbs!) Starting weight was less then 110 lbs so it's a lot on me.

I have talked to 123,456,789 people by now it feels like and I can assure you there is NO reliably difference between boy and girl symptoms. In early pregnancy, the Y chromosome is dormant and not even making testosterone till 10 weeks so all those early pregnancy symptoms are not gender-specific.Quote:

I don't even want to say how much I've gained and I'm only 11 weeks. I knew I was going to gain a lot weight because I started eating breakfast again and I was having to snack to keep the nausea away. I have a slow metabolism as well I've done a lot of crash diets over the years and have completely messed myself up. But I think you've done very well with your weight gain! I wish I could be like that!!Quote:

So....I just had a complete meltdown at my desk in front of my co-workers!!! I can't even explain why! They were teasing me about being snappy when asked who was getting breakfast and all of a sudden I just broke out in tears. Everyone was apologizing but I kept telling them they didn't do anything wrong because we always joke around with each other and that I'm just super emotional!! Saturday I cried because DS2 was stung by a bee and was inconsolable. And I cried again on Saturday because my mom wasn't at home...smh! This crying is getting ridiculous!!! HELP!! lol!
I know what you mean. I teared up reading this post. OMG! This is so not like me. I am out of control!!! :DQuote:

I mean its really sad! Not to mention embarrassing because I never act like that! Hopefully my emotions will simmer down some...hopefully!
I felt far more terrible this pregnancy than I had the other two (boys) I felt so nauseous and actually sick and very tired.
I've gained 10ibs at 17 weeks which I don't think is too bad as I had to eat so much bread and. BUtter at the start because of how I felt to keep me awake & alive!
Hoping it slows down now Although I am not doing much exercise and eating quite a bit of chocolate ! Whoops xx

For 100% sure my girl pregnancies I want to unzip my skin and crawl the hell out, at the start. I'm SO irrationally uncomfortable and irritable and nauseous. Way way worse than my boys. Could be chance but the feeling is flat out uncanny. So maybe it's higher progesterone, higher hcg levels, who knows... but I really really have a rough start with the girls I have carried.
This one is totally different...so tired all the time..spots.hairs falling out and looks crap.and much more emotional..ive noticed a huge difference from my boys x
I too have noticed a difference. The biggest for me is having no change in appetite. With all of my boys I was ravenous from the beginning. Like keeping track of the time so I could eat again, haha! Also, being SO emotional! I cry now at unpredictable times over anything!

All of my friends and family swear huge differences when carrying a different sex .. I know for some in can be the same but It's interesting to see here on this forum that so many of you also have noticed big differences!

I'm not that emotional at all ... might get teary eyed if a sad song comes on the radio or overcome by emotion if someone does something nice for me but also find that I get really pissed off and angry at people more so then emotional. That's why I think I may be carrying a baby boy

My third bub was a little girl and I remember that I couldnt eat any meat it made me feel really sick and I craved oranges all the time - apparently so did my mum when she was pregnant with me .Quote:

I had a meat aversion with DS1 and 2 and could barely eat chicken if I was not the one to cook it. :) Hamburger cooking was horrible for me. With DS3 I could not eat any meat. It made me super super sick like a lead ball in the pit of my stomach. I had to get protein in creative ways. DS4 I could eat some meat, but not a lot. With him I started drinking protein shakes to help. This time, I have had no problems with meat at all so far. We shall see what the second trimester brings.
That's exactly how've I've been with both pregnancies. One boy, this one a girl.Quote:

So I'm 15 weeks today and my belly has grown significantly in the past week and a half! Anybody else? I feel like I did when I was well over 20 weeks with my other two. Is this a 3rd baby thing? Does the baby grow a lot during the 13th and 14th weeks? I haven't changed my diet at all and my exercise routine is the same. I've gained maybe 3-4 lbs so far but this belly is huge!

We just scheduled our anatomy scan for June 2nd! I'm so excited yet so terrified. I have felt like this has been a boy from the beginning. However, when I think about the scan I instantly am terrified of hearing girl. I'm trying to decide if we find out or go team green. Ladies who have already found out. Were your momma instincts right? Were you, too, nervous to hear? I feel like I've heard girl twice, that's probably what I would hear again. How could I have a son? Anyone else feel this way about their DG? It's silly I'm sure...
On a happy note, we got to hear the baby's heartbeat. Midwife found it right away and the baby was kicking the Doppler like crazy lol

Well my gut feeling was right with DS1. I never even considered that he might not be a boy. I didn't really have a feeling either way with DS2.
Hi everyone :)
So just my input regarding different symptoms with opposite sexes (I have two boys and am now having a girl)
* 10 times more nausea with a girl, hardly any with the boys
* Lots of headaches with girl and almost none with the boys
* Carrying higher up with the girl, lower with the boys
* Feel like I have put on more weight on my back and hips with the girl as opposed to mainly just a belly with the boys
* Hair on my legs growing fast with the girl (actually can't remember if it was fast or slow with the boys though)
Also, I had a strong feeling each pregnancy. I knew I was having boys and then this time I had a strong feeling it was girl. But like someone mentioned, I didn't want to let myself believe it and thought maybe I was just hoping so hard that I imagined the strong feeling? I was extremely nervous to find out. When they lady called me with my results my heart was pounding so hard I felt like I almost couldn't hear her. Even now at 23 weeks I feel like it's too good to be true and can't believe my luck. I think I really hard convinced myself I would have 3 boys and so now it still just feels so surreal.
Attachment 36169 here she is ladies... is that the nub showing? And would you agree its a girl? Well shes measuring bigger so im exactly 13 weeks and due 16th november..i already think shes so pretty ���� xx
She is SO pretty [emoji4]!! The nub is showing a tiny bit on the bottom. It is the two parallel lines. It would look longer if her legs weren't pulled in to her abdomen.

Ugh i have a yeast infection... this is miserable!!! And now I'm worried cuz I had one early on with my daughter too.. and my OB doesn't open for another hour and I just want relief! :(
Anyone have YI with their boys?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I had 2 with DS3. One early on around 13-15 weeks and then one 4 days before I went into labor. Thank goodness it cleared up before he arrived, since he came 12 days early!!
I hope you can get relief soon! I think you can have diflucan since you are out of the first trimester.

Well, with DD I had a strong intuition that it was NOT a boy, but I made myself believe there was a possibility. I was really attached to the idea of a boy. When I heard it was a girl, I wasn't the least bit surprised lol because deep down inside, I already knew.Quote:

If it's a girl, she's gonna have my very tomboyish characteristics. This is one strong baby. My DD was very mild tempered in utero and until today she is the sweetest little thing. Nothing like me, except in some interests like artistic inclinations and a very deep way of understanding her surroundings. So I guess she is like me, but a much better version. Thank God! I can be such an a** lol.
Haha yes! That is me this time! My daughter was super chill and often would scare us cuz she didn't move much in utero.Quote:

It is so interesting to hear that your DD's were super chill inutero. This baby is uber chill, but I thought that was just because her placenta in anterior. All of my boys were super active inutero. I seriously felt that they would fall out of my uterus at times [emoji23]! She is such the sweetest and gentlest baby I have carried so far! Even when she wants me to switch sides while sleeping, she will gently get my attention to have me move. It's a good thing I have mellowed some over the years, otherwise I think she would be scared of me, haha!

Shanshaff, I can really relate to this and I'm even considering going team green until the end now, just to avoid grandparent craziness. Even though I want a daughter, I'm dreading receiving a million sparkly tutus if we find out we're having a girl, it hearing "oh, poor you", if it's a third boy. I wish people could just be happy and treat the baby the same regardless of the sex, it makes GD so much harder when others make a big fuss over a certain gender.Quote:
