Different symptoms for boys and girls

[Dotty_woman]

I guess this is a question for those who have both a boy and a girl. Did you have any different symptoms between your pregnancies? I have two boys so have no means of comparison. I have no intention of having a gender scan but wondered if anyone correctly identified the sex of their baby just by their pregnancy symptoms.

I'd be interested to know this too. I have a gender scan tomorrow & we are hoping for a boy. I have had practically no symptoms apart from spots, mild constipation & craving big portions of savoury food in the first 12 weeks x

Morning sickness hun x

I feel like mine is a girl (no reason really, just a feeling) but symptoms and heartrate suggest boy x

With my little boy I had a good pregnancy just remember having heart burn, but with this lil lady morning sickness alot! Feeling sick as well I was even sick in my mums car!!( in a bag) I just felt awful. X

 

[Dotty_woman]

No morning sickness with any of my pregnancies, including this one. Wouldn't e surprised if it was a boy seeing as I have absolutely no boys' names on the list. Don't really care as long as it's ok! xxx

I have 3 boys and 1 girl, so any change in symptoms etc with my daughter could be fluke but boys were consistant.

Boys , savory and fatty foods, cheese, cheese burgers from mcd, all different nuts ( not a fan normally!)
Sickness / nausea from 6/8 weeks to 20 weeks then stopped just like thst (all 3 stopped same week!)

Girl, fruit and veg, sweet foods,marmite!! (Which doesnt follow the rule really)
Nausea/sicknessfrom 6/8 weeks i think to def 15 weeks

This time so far im wanting fruits, veg, liking cheese, but its not calling me if you lnow whst i mean.
Wanting marmite, did last time with my daughter and the one i lost at 12 weeks, (so paranoia not letting me eat it this time, had it once, yum!!) but that could be a salt need etc? Oh nausea started alot earlier this time, about 4/5 weeks i think, so dont know, maybee girl nausea starts early do can stop early ? Dying to know what gender baby is, things are diff but still thinking boy!! Maybe to keep feet on ground! Oh having heartburn this time from week 3! No idea as thats a totally new one for me!!

Wonder what your having dotty, will you stay team yellow?

Not really craving anything. However, I am enjoying fruit and salad more than usual. In fact I'm just off to the supermarket to buy some oranges. Don't remember feeling this tired so early on last time but that was 12 years ago and I was over a stone lighter then obviously 12 years younger!

I will have my second scan next week,we are hoping for a boy.my ms wasnt that hard and finish about week 11.and there is nothing what I'm really obsessed with from the food exept tomatos maybe with smetana and salt.its really nice

Hi hun I have two girls and preg with boy atm..I have had no morning sickness with my girls..differences I have found with this pregnancy is in first 12 weeks I would wake up during the night feeling really sick but was never sick, I was covered in spots! I got them on my chest too, face went greecy and hair went straw like, I bloated loads and spotted for 6 weeks after an unexplained bleed at 6 weeks..Its deff just a wives tale I think though as my symptoms I had would have suggested a girl from old wives tales..as for cravings In first 12 weeks I craved the doritos in the red packet (canremember the flavour lol) and chinese curry but throughout I love dairy cheese yoghurts etc love onion rings and salt and vinigar crisps..I craved crisps with my first girl and iron bru and chienese honey spare ribs with my second girl lol x

 

[clare81]

this is baby number 1 for me currently 12+3 weeks started with the nausea at 6 weeks always feel sick in evenening never during the day hence for the last few weeks havent been able to finish a meal! crave savory pastries sausage rolls and cornish pasties all my family, friends and work colleagues keep suggesting its a girl, not going to find out till babys arrival what were having so we will have to wait and see!

 

[Mummyof3tobe]

Interesting thread. I have two girls and symptoms pretty much the same for both - nausea up until about 12/13 weeks. Never sick though. I don't remember craving anything but I did go off a few things - chicken and broccoli especially!

So far this time around I've gone off tea, can't really face red meat and I'm craving Orange lucozade/tropical caprisun/Orange and pineapple squash. Also keep thinking about fruit smoothies ever since I had one last week at Costa coffee!

Not sure what old wives tale would read of this! X

Does morning sickness include just feeling sick? I think I'm having a boy but after reading this thread I think I'm having a girl lol oh well be happy! Other then sickness just had tiredness, tirsty, short tempered and bloating, get a few headache here and there but other then that, that's it

What would you say girls?

Xx

 

[CrazyChic]

Oh and weeing a lot too but that can be down the the water plus I am getting a bit fussy with food but then I don't know if that's cause I feel sick all the time

Im guessing girl
And boy for me


This is purely based on the sickness/nausea though!

my boy - no sickness, very mild nausea that only ever came if waves every so often.

my girl - from 6 weeks 24/7 severe nausea and morning sickness - and an awful constant taste in my mouth. this lasted until 17 weeks!
