Bagpuss Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Hi, I've 3 children, and found my morning sickness increased with each pregnancy. By my third I virtually had my head down the toilet continually for months, and even had to take something with me at all times when out the house....just in case! Nothing seemed to work, or alleviate it in anyway. I found I went off all the foods and drinks I loved....no Macdonalds for ages, because I couldn't stand the smell. I had a boy, then two girls, so i would definately say my morning sickness was worse with the girls than our son. Take care, Debs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindy-lou Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Well i have heard you have worse morning sickness with girls due to the extra oestrogen they produce,and as i had it with all 3 of my girls i would believe this!!My sister never had any morning sickness with her 2 boys but did with her daughter,this time around i do feel queasy if i let myself get hungry but have only actually been sick once,Adams mum i would love a boy!!this will be my last baby so last chance,i will still adore it if its a girl but would be so nice to have a son.

Suze Report post Posted May 1, 2006 oh I do feel for you.........morning sickness is hideous .With my first a boy I just had a nauseous feeling for the first 2 months.With my daughter and other son it was terrible, the third pregnancy being by far the worse.It started from conception and lasted till about 26 wks.Morning noon and night .I would be in the super market and I remember smelling something really stale and horrid ,I looked around and realised it was the persons hair in the queue in front of me. I was hemmed in by trollies and had no where to go so I stood there with a plastic shopping bag wretching while people looked on in horror.............saying "I,ll be alright in a minute...........I,ll be alright in a minute".........then the person with the smelly hair came over "are you o.k.".................that set me off again..........I cleared the checkout pretty quick any how........the worse of it being.......the hurling part was really loud ..........so I ended up with quite an audience...............oh the shame...................lindy lou.......you have my deepest sympathy pregnancy sickness is the worst...............congratulations on the baby though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikrix Report post Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Well most are saying that they were more sick with girls, I was the other way round. I was sick every day with the boys and with my girl one to two month free of the sickness. So I can not tell you, think its different with all of us. Good luck with it all. 4 how will you cope? I have 3 didn't want any more but..........that time clock is ticking away, maybe number 4 may come one day. Edited May 1, 2006 by nikrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindy-lou Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Ah im sure i will cope fine,at the stage now where 1 more wont make much difference!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikrix Report post Posted May 1, 2006 I said that when the third came a long, but it did I can tell you. How old are all yours? I am reaching that age where I think if I dont have another one it will be to late. Not felt like that for 5 years lol. It funny how it hits you I never dreamt I would want more.

Viper Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Morning sickness was all day every day with all four of mine. 3girls then a boy. With my first I was on my way to work on the bus when I vomited but was too embarrased to do it on the bus so I swallowed it. with my last 2 one boy and one girl I was so ill I had anti sickness pills. I was almost admitted to hospital with Ben, they were going to put me on a drip cos I wasn't eating enough. It has even been said my youngest two have bad teeth because I lacked calcium in my diet (what diet) when their teeth were forming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb1964 Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Lindy-lou, I had terrible morning sickness on both my girls - in fact I weighed lighter at 9mths pregnant that I did beforehand!!!! I remember someone saying about faster heartbeats being a girl too - and during both my pregnancies the heartbeat was very fast (think around 140). Take care, Jb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindy-lou Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Hi jb! I have heard it is galloping horses for a girl and a train for a boy,heartbeat sounds that is!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmuir Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Hi I have a 4.5 year old son. Almost as soon as I knew I was pregnant I was throwing up throughout the day. Unfortunately that continued up until I was 8 months pregnant. Have to say I never got that lovely glow and felt horrendous throughout. I work full-time and throughout my pregnancy I had a bucket right beside my desk (and in the car!) ? lovely thought! Hope you're feeling better than I did. Best wishes. Caroline.

kirstie Report post Posted May 1, 2006 I remember not having much sickness with either of my boys and then the last pregnancy was totally different, i had migraines and puked all the time, the smell of meat cooking and coffee just sent me running to the toilet talking swahili while i hugged the pan. I was convinced we were having a girl, but we had Aiden. I'm glad i knew the sex beforehand though so i had got the shock out of the way. We love him to bits, and even if i had another i wouldn't care if it was a boy! Hope you're keeping ok and taking that folic acid!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi lindy, ooooooh, I feel so sorry for you. <'> I had terrible all day sickness with Susie, where I felt sick right to my finger tips, I'm sure you'll know what I mean by that. With William I only had about a week then was fine. Luke was pretty much the same as Susie with all day nausea (though oddly I never actually threw up). I know there are lots of myths about boy/girl pregnancies being different, but with Susie and Luke I had identical experiences. I hope it goes off soon, it really is a miserable thing to go through, especially when you've already got a family to look after and still have to cook and rush about. Take care Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallya Report post Posted May 2, 2006 ....I had sickness all day and night with both of mine (1 of each) for 9 months. With son, I could eat properly after 20 weeks, but it was sometimes a bit dodgey...once I ate some cherries......was going into town later on the train...and felt ran to the loo just in time...and pebbledashed the whole toilet to ashamed to own up and shut the door quick........with girl.. I couldn't even keep water down....lost a stone and a half...was admitted to hospital.....put on a drip......to rehydrate me....sent home with tablets...horrible (called hyperemisis)......hope you get over the sickness soon Lindyloo, try ginger biscuits or accupunture wrist bands...everyone kept telling me they would help....

minerva Report post Posted May 2, 2006 with both my boys i felt ill the whole way through, I was only actually sick once with my second pregnancy. I felt so ill with my frist that i lost 2 stone maybe thats the answer to the weight problem, i need to have another lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancelot Report post Posted May 2, 2006 Well, I was sick from before the first pregnancy test with both boys -- must have been pretty much from two weeks in Wasn't sick at all with the girl -- in fact, I didn't suspect I was pregnant for ages! Didn't quite get as far as one of my friends, with her 8-week scan that proved to be a 21-week scan -- followed by the scan that told her she was having a 5-pound girl, so her 11-pound son was a bit of a shock.

mossgrove Report post Posted May 2, 2006 My DP had progressively more morning sickness with each of our 4 children, the third of which is a girl. Our children are 2,4,6 and 8 (The eldest 2 are Autistic) and I can report that things are pretty frantic most of the time. I wouldn't swap them for anything though!

I do have low blood pressure though and like you RQ, feel faint alot,I gave up smoking 5 weeks ago and the smell of ciggies is the only thing that makes me retch,the smell is vile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Aw thanks you lot,i feel guilty for taking your sympathies,BUT I DONT HAVE MORNING SICKNESS!!! Lol. I had to laugh when I saw your reply lindy. It just shows you how much 'scan reading' can miss. I've just looked at your original post and you do say that you haven't had much sickness with this pregnancy, then loads of us went on to sympathise.
