Did you notice a difference between boy and girl pregnancies?

Question

I'm 10w3d pregnant with my second child. I've noticed this pregnancy is totally different than with my son. Wondering if its true that boy/girl pregnancies are different? For those of you with boys and girls, did you notice a difference between the two?

Answer

Being pregnant with my son was a nightmare. Throwing up 24-7, anxiety, depression, quit my job it was so bad. With this pregnancy it's a girl and it's been so unbelievably different. I'm 25 weeks and thrown up only a handful of times, I work full time and I'm at least functioning...  Tired but functioning

Answer

I've heard boys hang lower than girls do and also heart rate is faster on girls.

Answer

We don't know what this one is, but either way both pregnancies are night and day. I was extrmey sick the whole time with my son. Threw up 4-5 times a day, every day. My face, chest and back broke out in awful awful acne. This pregnancy, I'm 18 weeks and have thrown up 2 times the whole time. I was only nauseous for a few weeks. My face is actually pretty clear. I'm more tired with this one but I think that's because I'm 29 and not 22 lol.

Answer

I was pretty confident. My son was an absolute breeze, I never even really felt pregnant besides my belly that didn't even show up until 6 months. I worked out daily, slept great, felt great, had amazing skin. This time I was BEYOND exhausted and nauseous daily, and my skin is awful. The smell of coffee (which I normally drink 3+ cups a day) disgusted me. Sure enough, she's a girl. But I know friends who had the same exact symptoms for both genders so you never really know :)

Answer

I have two sons and am having a girl this time around.

With the boys I was only sick on curvy roads or with particular smells. This time I was incredibly sick the first 14.5 weeks. Also. With the boys I wanted sweets and was starving constantly (I gained 70 with #1 and 55 with #2...and no, I'm not kidding. Can you say complete lack of self control?! Lol) this time around I crave sour stuff and protein. Some of the food may be that I've completely changed my eating habits when I'm not pregnant, but the cravings are completely different. I don't want sweets at all. Only gained 10# so far (18w3d). And I was much moodier with the boys than I have been this go round.

Answer

I knew right away that I was having a girl this time. With my son, I was absolutely exhausted all the time, had hyperemesis and ended up in the hospital for fluids because I was throwing up so much. This time around I had a little nausea, no fatigue, and was extremely moody. We found out at 16 weeks we were having a girl and I just knew it. The pregnancies have been SOOO different! Now I'm hoping labor and delivery will be the same, because it was a breeze the first time!! 😋
