BOY OR GIRL SYMPTOMS
posted 8th Sep '06
I HAVE A QUESTION TO ALL OF YOU, THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE HAD BOYS, WHAT SYMPOMS DID YOU HAVE? MORNING SICKNESS? HEARTBURN? GIRLS? WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE HAD BOTH? ANY DIFFERENCES IN SYMPTOMS? THANKS, I HAVE BEEN WONDERING THIS FOR A WHILE AND WANTED TO SEPERATE FACT FROM FICTION.

Well, I'm not sure if mine is a boy or girl yet, but I will post some of my symptoms and then check back in when I do know. Hopefully that's going to be really really soon!
Ok, I have acid reflux, but for some reason, since I got pregnant, I have not had any heartburn at all.
I had morning sickness pretty bad, getting sick every night before bed for the first 14-15 weeks of it. I still get it now, but it's a lot less often, but a bit more "violent"
I used to LOVE seafood, and now I can't even stand the smell of it.
I hated chocolate before, but it tastes alright every once in a while now.
I've been craving fruits and veggies more than anything. Oh! And steak and homemade hamburgers.
Well, that's all that I can think of right now. I'll get back to you when I find out!
Edit: Oh! And I forgot that I used to LOOOOOOVE sweet pickles and hate dill... but that seems to have switched,

im having a boy and i have never expirienced heartburn. i had morning sickness every time i woke up, untill my 16/18 week into pregnancy. i crave steak too !
they do say that if your low and out in front its a boy and if the heart beat sounds like a train its a boy . ithink this is true !
they say if its a girl your more rounded and barrel like and the heartbet sounds like a galloping horse.

Oh! Well, I've had 2 boys...with both I had no morning sickness ever. I was hungry all the time. I was huge. I carried very, very low. I felt amazingly good all the way through.
However, this time I had morning sickness, I'm not constantly hungry, and feel pretty well run down ( of course, I spend most of my time running after an 18 month old..so that could explain the tiredness). Here I am hoping for a girl! ha ha.
Apparently there really is no true way to guess it!

My first child was a boy, and I had insane nausea and vomiting, up until about 5 months, then heartburn whenever I even smelled food for the rest of the pregnancy. I also had horrible headaches, but that ties into the toxemia I developed, so I don't know if it counts either way. And I developed an aversion to eggs, which I love, and a wicked craving for green olives (I ate them jar after jar), which I tolerate any other time.

I HAVE BEEN CRAVING GREEN OLIVES AND EVERYONE THINKS I'M CRAZY FOR IT! THEY THINK I SHOULD BE CRAVING SWEETS OR SOMETHING.

My first child was a boy (18 yrs. old now). I had nausea every time I ate but never got sick but the heartburn was HORRIBLE. I had alot of headaches too. Other than that I felt great. Now this one. I still have not gotten sick but have nausea from the time I get up until the time I go to bed no matter what I eat. All I wanted with my son was salad, oranges and ice. Now all I want is fruit and salads. Water gives me heartburn. I feel run down and want to rest all the time. I cry at everything and never did with my son. All signs point to this one being a girl from what I hear but have not found out for sure (yet). I read somewhere that if you feel run down and you start to look ragged that it's a girl (girls rob you of your looks) but if you feel pretty good then it's a boy (boys wait until they are born to make you ragged). That's just what I've heard. Good luck

I'm pregnant with my first baby, a girl...
I've had the nausia (early in pregnancy for first 5 months), smells, sickness, etc. the smell of coffee, and cars made me nausious.
I didnt want any red meat, (burgers, steak) the thought of it made me nausious in my 1st trimester and I loved that stuff before i was pg!
I craved lots of fruit in my 2nd trimester, any fruit~! ate tons if it everyday.
Now im eating so many sweets, anything chocolate, cheesecake, candy. lol
The heartburn is terrible, i've had it for the past 4 months!! Its pretty much unavoidable. With no matter what i eat or drink.
Another fun myth I have heard (worked for some close relatives) is the heartbeat thing... towards the end of your pregnancy last 2 1/2 months, if the heartbeat is generally 140 or above its a girl, if its 140 or below, its a boy. My dad say he knew me and my sister were girls, and my aunt said she knew all her boys were boys ( even though the doctor said two of her sons were girls)!!
I'm carrying low and all in front though, so my family still thinks I'm having a boy.

and this pregnancy is COMPLETLY different than with him...and so far they are leaning towards a girl....but one can never be sure,lol.............lets see with my first it was very easy until the end as I gained alot of weight..no sickness, just very tired...and my nose spread...but not my butt,lol..weird.....this one im sick still...(yes some unfortunant women are sick tothe end, and lucky me im one of them heheh) no weight gain on the nose (yet) and my butt is hugh!! Not to mention im wayy more hormonel, had heartburn, sensative, eat more sweets and fruit, am carrying higher than with my son.....drink loads of OJ (which I have never been fond of, and when pregnant with my son I barely drank it).....so im not sure..it may be something to it...but who knows,lol..I have to wait until delivery day to see.

I have 3 boys. With all my pregnancy i had wicked "morning sickness" from the being till about the 5th month pretty much all day long. I carried low and out front, i craved sweets like crazy, and huge burgers, saucy hot wings (which i dont enjoy when im not preggo) all meats. I'm 13wks pregnant with my 4th, dont find out until dec. 18th about the gender. But thigs are really different with this pregnancy. I had "morning sickness" really bad for awhile, but its pretty much gone now, ill get it every now and again. I can never find anything to eat. I cant stand burgers and im not too interested in the sweets. Salads seems to be a plus with this child. lol I have been breaking out on my face like crazy. I broke out occasionaly with my other pregnancy, but not often. This time around i'm having issues trying to control the break outs. I'm wicked tired all the time. I get good sleep, and take my iron supplement, and im still wicked tired.
Those are my symptoms =)

I'm having a boy and I had nausea all day long up until 14 weeks, but rarely ever actually got sick. I've had a major craving for fresh fruits but a big aversion to meat which is probably why I'm anemic. I've had heartburn maybe twice, and that has just started lately, before I had no problems. I've gotten bad acne and have been extremely tired throughout the pregnancy (even before I was anemic). I haven't been overly emotional this whole time, though the crankiness is setting in now, but no crying spells. I've gained a lot of weight (over 40 lbs) but so far it all appears to be belly, thankfully. My little guy's heart rate is always right at 140 everytime. That's all I can think of for now, though I don't think you can really tell what sex you're having for sure until that baby comes out! It's fun to try and guess though, lol.

I have two boys. Both gave me the normal first trimester morning sickness and sore boobs. This one is a girl and I am convinced she was trying to kill me with the morning sickness. No sore boobs with her, but she is giving me that lovely pregnancy glow, you know, the red, blotchy face.
My little boys were MUCH nicer to me than this little diva. Not to mention, I'm carrying the hormones for myself and her, which are making me a crying mess over anything.
