Old Wives Tales

Did any of you have completely different pregnancies but same gender? Many of my friends have all the same gender and same pregnancies, or different genders but still same pregnancies. I'm just curious (for fun, of course), if anyone had same genders, but very different pregnancies. Anyone???.

I had completely different pregnancies with my boys! I will not be relying on symptoms when I get pregnant again. The only thing that was the same with both boys was I carried low with them, and you couldn't tell I was pregnant from behind. Everyone said I was having another boy based on those two things. Who knows though with a third pregnancy! I am in the best shape of my life now, so maybe that will effect how I carry another baby!

How about you?

Yes. My two most similar were my DS 2 and my DD. My other three pregnancies with my DS 1,3,4 were all quite different and VERY different than the ones with DS 2 and DD

Body shape doesn't work either. I was super high with my first boy and my the time DD rolled around, she was low but it was because I"d had 5 kids and nothing to do with gender. And "low" for me was still high because I'm shortwaisted. IT's your body type and where the baby is that change the way you carry.

I agree I'm having a boy and someone said to me, ohh your carrying too high for a boy. I put nothing into it as we did HT and had 2 u/s confirm boy

No one can even tell at 27 weeks that I am even pregnant. Same thing happened my first pregnancy. "symptoms" all depend on where your body is during pregnancy. Your hormones could be higher or lower than the first time around, gained or lost weight, and a million other physical things. The reason I don't show is I have a slight curvature of my lower spine. Baby has more room to hide in the back and not stick out so much in the front.

Me too! I never show until 25-30 weeks!

right before delivery on my last one I still looked like I just ate too much!

I had 20 weeks of Hyperemesis Gravidarum on both my boys, definitely knew I was having a second boy when it kicked in at 6 weeks. My friends mother had HG on her two boys then she had her girl and she didn't know she was pregnant until she was 10 weeks gone. She said she breezed through the entire pregnancy - would love if we had a successful sway that I could have an enjoyable pregnancy!

When people say they felt great with their boys and sick with their girls, I think "Really? OR is that in your head because of the OWT?" Is there any truth to that specific OWT? Where did it come from, and why?
