I'm more hungry now (girl) than I was when I was pregnant with my son. So for me, it doesn't hold true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-151636 Tue, 08 May 2012 12:04:10 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 151636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hope this is not true, because i really want a girl and my appetite has been out of control. i am amazed at how much i can eat and then not even feel that full after. just normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-151291 Tue, 08 May 2012 08:37:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 151291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm eating ridiculous amounts of food right now, so I will let you know next week if it's a boy or a girl! My ssiters's both ate a ton with their girls though, although we have nothing to compare it too because we have no little boys in our family yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-151200 Tue, 08 May 2012 05:47:07 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 151200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was supposedly some "research" on this done about 10 years ago, if I'm recalling this correctly. It reported women pregnant with boys did eat more. The article I read didn't offer how the data was collected. I'm suspicious because if it was self-reporting that tends to be skewed. Plus it didn't say if the data was collected only from women that did not know the sex until birth. I'm sure for some ladies knowing that they need to grow a big healthy boy could subconsciously cause them to eat more.</p> <p>So yeah, sounds questionable to me. Even though I fit the mold and have been eating less and I'm having a girl! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-151171 Mon, 07 May 2012 23:21:14 +0000 Penny Lane 151171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, let's just say, I HOPE it's true! I've been eating like crazy since 16 weeks when my morning sickness died down. It would be nice if I could blame in on the fact that i'm having a boy ;D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-151153 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:32:04 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 151153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had very little appetite with my son, but I couldn't get enough of milk. I LOVED milk (and I am not a milk drinker!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-151130 Mon, 07 May 2012 20:51:28 +0000 sulli301 151130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't eat too much with DD...not a crazy amount anyways... but this time I don't think I'm eating too much either (it's very early though! 7 weeks 3 days) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-149708 Sun, 06 May 2012 11:31:26 +0000 Boogs 149708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: See so it must be a myth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-149704 Sun, 06 May 2012 11:28:38 +0000 winniebee 149704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband just marvels at how much I can eat! </p> <p>@Boogs: Interesting - I don't normally have much of a sweet tooth and all I want is sweets : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-149697 Sun, 06 May 2012 11:22:00 +0000 Boogs 149697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds about right. Shoot, I'm still ravenous a year after giving birth, but I hear it's from BFing. </p> <p>I have a huge sweet tooth and like the myth I only wanted salty, never sweet things during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-149625 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:37:41 +0000 tequiero21 149625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one and wasn't particularly starving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-149591 Sun, 06 May 2012 08:41:09 +0000 trusch24 149591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having a boy and my appetite hasn't changed. If anything, I'm not as hungry as I used to be. </p> <p>My friend couldn't stop eating when she was pregnant with her daughter and was completely opposite when she had her son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148999 Sat, 05 May 2012 07:29:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 148999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well true for me- tho i don't have a DD to compare to.<br /> I felt like i was constantly eating with my son! So hungry all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148990 Sat, 05 May 2012 07:09:37 +0000 His Barista 148990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a girl and ate about the same as prepregnancy. Just a lot more sweets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148975 Sat, 05 May 2012 05:14:59 +0000 loveisstrange 148975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a girl and I ate like a pack of elephants. I was ravenous the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148925 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:39:08 +0000 Andrea 148925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not true but I had a girl and I wasn't very hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148904 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:10:27 +0000 HLK208 148904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to agree from my experience. With DS I ate non-stop. I don't remember a time I wasn't grazing! It was ridiculous. With DD, I've been eating pretty normal: light breakfast, small snacks and usually a good sized dinner but everything is well balanced where with DS, it was all carbs.<br /> I gained 55 lbs with DS and I've gained 20 with DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148833 Fri, 04 May 2012 20:16:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 148833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've actually been really hungry lately. As in the middle of the night. And I'm having a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148783 Fri, 04 May 2012 20:01:26 +0000 heffalump 148783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a girl and ate non stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148518 Fri, 04 May 2012 15:07:55 +0000 BananaPancakes 148518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just had my boy, and honestly, I wasn't very hungry at all during my pregnancy. I also heard I'd be ravenous if I breast fed and that's not stacking up as true, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148473 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:40:05 +0000 looch 148473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know what I was having, but I don't think these type of things hold too much water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148471 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:39:13 +0000 mediagirl 148471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know...I"ve been eating like a horse and I'm having a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148443 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:21:34 +0000 Minnie_Girl 148443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like horoscope-style bullsh*t to me. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148440 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:20:54 +0000 lemondrop 148440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>False for me! I had a boy and from 7 weeks to 36 weeks I could not stand food- and I am usually a big foodie. It was a sad time for me, I had to force myself to eat. </p> <p>Now at 16 weeks pp, I can't get enough food, and I'm losing weight. Thank goodness for breastfeeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148436 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:19:44 +0000 Honeybee 148436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not notice a difference in my eating with DD versus DS except that I had fewer cravings with DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-148433 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:17:13 +0000 kml636 148433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw something about this on babble's being pregnant blog. Crazy, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-147753 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:08:19 +0000 chopsuey 147753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a girl and I ate like a cow. I gained over 50lbs! This time around I'm not as hungry. IT's still early though. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-147718 Fri, 04 May 2012 08:58:27 +0000 eeh 147718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well then I'm officially screwed if our next one is a boy. I don't think it's humanly possible to eat more than I'm eating with our daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-pregnant-with-boys-eat-more#post-147713 Fri, 04 May 2012 08:57:41 +0000 winniebee 147713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No official data, but my "What to Expect" app informed me of this the other day. I'm having a boy and have been ravenous my whole pregnancy. Ravenous. People said by the end of pregnancy I wouldn't be that hungry, but honestly at almost 37w I'm hungrier than ever. So I'm buying into it!</p> <p>What has your experience been? </p>
