Does the amount of morning sickness have anything to do with the sex of the baby?

Question

When my mother was pregnant with my brother she only got morning sickness when she drank orange juice. Then when she was pregnant with me she was sick the entire time.

Now I am 9 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I am sick all the time, and really emotional which i wasn't with my son. please help i'm curious.

Answer 1

Every pregnancy is different. I was never sick with my first girl, but with my second girl I was nauseous for 5 months.

Answer 2

No way, I wish! All pregnancies are different. With my daughter I was sick round the clock from week 4-12. With my son I was only sick in the morning for about a month and with this pregnancy I never got morning sickness at all and it's another boy.

Answer 3

I got sick for maybe a week with my daughter, and that was at 1:00 in the afternoon. With this pregnancy, I have had no sickness at all. Not sure what I'm having, I'm only 9 weeks. My doctor said each pregnancy is different, and so is the way your body reacts to it. I am more emotional this time, too.

Answer 4

The amount of morning sickness you have does not have anything to do with if you are having a boy or a girl. It is an Old Wives Tale, just one of many surrounding pregnancy and child birth. I have 4 children. My worst morning sickness was when I was pregnant with our only son. It lasted the whole pregnancy and began early. With my older 2 girls, my morning sickness only lasted a few weeks and I had no morning sickness with my youngest daughter. The exact cause of morning sickness is not known, but there is speculation it is related to hormone levels, blood pressure fluctuations, and blood sugar fluctuations.

Answer 5

im 23 weeks and the only time that i ever felt sick was when i would brush my teeth first thing in the morning. Other than that i felt great but extremly tired, im having a boy. I asked my mother and she said she never got any kind of morning sickness with both her pregnancy's ( 1 boy and 1 girl)

Answer 6

I was very sick for about the first 3 months and I am having a little boy. When I got to the end of the fourth month the sickness started to go away. It got so bad I had to be put on prescription anti-nausea medicine. I have also been very emotional.

Answer 7

With my first I had terrible morning affliction. i do not recognize if this became all in my head, yet I study someplace to lie in mattress and devour a spoonful of peanut butter at evening in the previous going to mattress. I swear it helped no matter if it became only a placebo. none of the different stuff helped me both. although, the dr. did prescribe me phenegrin, a anti-nausea drugs, to take. it helped better than some thing, even though it makes you very sleepy, too. I had a boy... yet i'm having a boy this time, too, and have not had any morning affliction. The different halves' tale is that the morning affliction potential a woman! sturdy success!

Answer 8

Morning sickness is different for everyone. My sister is a chocohalic...she can't get enough chocolate, but, when she was pregnant with both her sons, just the smell of it would make her sick. My sister-in-law had morning sickness every afternoon at 4pm when she was pregnant with her oldest daughter, with her second daughter, she wasn't sick at all. I hope you have a healthy pregnancy.....good luck and enjoy

Answer 9

I don't think so my best friend has 4 kids and pregnant with number 5. 2 boys 2 girls and pregnant with a boy, she only had very slight morning sickness with one of them ( her 2nd daughter).

Answer 10

No, that's just and old wives' tale. With my first child (boy), I had no morning sickness. With my current pregnancy (another boy), I had morning sickness for about 2 months straight.
