What symptoms did you have with your baby boys?? What symptoms did you have with your little girls??? I am curious to see all the variations, I hear that little girls make you sicker, but I dont know I have 2 boys, and wasnt sick with them at all! Now on my 3rd and new pregnancy, I wonder what this one will bring! Lets share!

I only have 1 boy and as far as I know he's so active inside my belly. On my 5th month I had a hard time sleeping because my belly hurts from his movements, I though I was going on pre-term labor. Thank goodness it only means that he's very much alive ang literally kicking inside my body. My sister have a girl for her first and a boy for her second, she said that her tummy felt heavier during her second pregnancy.

my pregnant belly with my oldest - Me and my oldest, with the baby in the womb. (:
well I also have 2 boys. I was sick with both of them... I was constantly running to the bathroom every day, all day long. with the first one, I was still working, and it lasted the entire 9 months, but it only happened once or twice a day, with the second one it lasted about 6 months or so and it was an ALL day occurance...SO I want a little girl, but if it's going to make me sicker than I was with my boys (if that's possible) (: I think i'd opt for adoption! (:

That's funny, I've heard that boys make you sicker. Also, I've heard that a high, round belly means it's a girl and carrying the baby low means it's a boy. If you crave spicy and sour foods it's a boy, sweet foods, it's a girl...well of course girls are sweeter :)

CONGRATS on your third pregnancy!! I only have one.. but with my first pregnancy I was super sick the first 6 months and then the last 2 months I got sick again & I had a little girl. But, morning sickness runs in our family & all my sisters and my Mom had it horrible with both sexes so I imagine with my next one it will be the same way!! Good luck with yours.. I hope you don't encounter sickness :)

With my baby boy I couldn't eat much the first few months and I was craving cantaloupe a lot. On the second one which was a girl, I was sleepy all the time, throwing up all the time but I ate alot. On my third one which was also a girl I never felt sick. My neck and my underarms became noticeably dark but it turned back to it's original color a few months after birth. I was really pretty in the beginning then I was getting pimples. They say out here in the Philippines that if you're blooming it is a girl. I think it all just varies.

Ok I have been pregnant two time with one girl and one boy, I am currentley pregnant with my third but have not found out yet what this baby is but I have a good idea. When I was pregnant with my daughter believe it or not I felt more tired than when I was pregnant with my boy. Also I had different types of cravings with my girl I wanted sweets and fruit and pastry, with my boy it was all about meat from the moment I found out I was pregnant. I noticed my faced broke out more with my girl than with my boy. It might be that every pregnancy is different and therefore the symptoms and cravings are different, but this time once again I want sweets and fruit and my face looks like a crater, so I'm thinking its a girl we will see within the next 3 weeks though!!!

I have aboy and a girl both have a seven year gap between them. I don't know if thats the reason but yes definately with my son inside I never had a single problem, pregnancy was so easy, diodn't have much vomiting just for few days that also because doctor had advised e totake pills for vomiting and I couldn't tolerate the pill's colour as soon as I threw it away by next morning I was okay. I used to walk till my last day daily for one hour or more and did all the chores of the house. This time with my girl I had a terrible pregnancy with sickness lasting till begingin of fifth month and then my feet started hurting real bad and so much that it became an ordeal for me to walk, I couldn't sleep at nights and then also if someone pressed my feet. Normal walking was really painfull. Thank god its over now and no more am I going to go through with this anymore. Two are enough for me, I think you are too brave to do it once again. I just can't think of going through pains of delivery one more time.

I am almost six months pregnant with a boy now. I've experienced the same thing - nausea but no vomiting (thankfully), but I am eating a lot and not gaining too much weight (another blessing).

I have one baby. He's a boy. When I was pregnant with him, I was sick pretty much the entire pregnancy. The first 4 months I would throw up at least 5 times a day. I think the whole pregnancy I might have gone 15-20 days without throwing up. I had incredible back pain, too, along with swelling. And I could sleep 14 hours straight if I didn't have to work. I've been sleeping more lately again and I threw up yesterday and today both...maybe I'm pregnant again. I'll have to let you know. :)

I think I was sick equally with both of my pregnancies. I really never threw up at all I just fault nauseated a lot. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was crazy. I would get so mad over such simple things that I would have an anxiety attack and not be able to breath. I talked to my doctor and they put me on anti-depressants. It helped so much! After I had my daughter I had post partum depression for about 3 months. While I was pregnant with my daughter I got acne all over my body and my skin was white and blah. When I was pregnant with my son I didnt have mood problems at all and after he was born I didnt have any post partum depression at all. My skin looked so much healthier when I was pregnant with him as well. I gained 18 lbs with my daughter and 27 with my son. I started out at different weights so oddly enough at the end of my pregnancies I weighed 140 lbs both times. That was pretty interesting.
