Is morning sickness worst with boys or girls ?

When I had my daughter in 2022 I thought my life was coming to an end cause of morning sickness. I couldn’t even get out of bed let alone sit up straight.

Idk what I’m having as of yet but the morning sickness is not as bad as it was with my daughter but it’s still whooping me on some days

I didn’t have any sickness with my girls. With my son I feel like my whole pregnancy was me puking. Just depends on the pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

If you believe the housewives tales, it’s worse with boys…boys make you sick now, girls make you sick in 15 years 😂
But as a obgyn nurse I can tell you: the reason you get sick is because your body slows down all “unnecessary” body functions (including digestion) so no matter if it’s a boy or girl, it depends on how your body reacts to the hormone shift 🤷‍♀️

They say generally it gets worse if you’re having a girl because there’s a higher level of hormones but I know that’s not the case with everyone. It is however true for the women I’ve known personally who had girls, their morning sickness was terrible compared to mine and I had a boy.

I had it equal with both

My LG i had severe mornimg sickess and lost so much weight. With my boy i didnt have any sickness

I’ve only had 2 boys and pregnant with my 3rd every one has been completely different with my 1st I had bad morning sickness to the point I couldn’t keep anything down losing weight you name it this went on through my entire pregnancy, my 2nd I wasn’t sick once, and this pregnancy it hasn’t been horrendous just comes and goes In waves triggered by certain things x

I have two girls and I was sick as a dog with both of them

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section with a 2 Yr old

Please be honest how much of a struggle is this? I am worried, I'm currently 34 weeks but struggling to walk bc of my pelvis, it's already difficult having to run after her and with the tantrums etc
Any tips ??

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks
