If yes, girl, if not, boy but idk how accurate that is either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-527096 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 10:01:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 527096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: so jealous! i threw up until week 39! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-527074 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 09:56:05 +0000 LazyLightning 527074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just like @sslm I was sick 6 to 18 weeks and the u/s says it's a girl (I'm 21 weeks now).</p> <p>My skin is a warzone, also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-524025 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:14:41 +0000 cascademom 524025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty average morning sickness lasting until about 18 weeks. I have a boy. For me, my skin maintained and didn't break out. That was my first indication that I was having a boy. I had the strongest feeling he's a boy and I was right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523995 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:01:15 +0000 lemondrop 523995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sick from 7 weeks into the 20 week mark (less throwing up after 15 weeks). Heart rates in the 160's and I had a boy.</p> <p>My MIL was sick the whole time with both my husband and SIL, and my mom was sick for a week with my brother and myself. I really don't buy into the old wives tales, I think it is how YOU react to pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523735 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:31:55 +0000 mamimami 523735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a similar level of nausea (bearable but not nonexistent) for both my kids (boy and girl). If anything, slightly less for my girl. So I think it's an old wives tale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523724 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:27:49 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 523724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a girl and have barely had morning sickness at all! But, who knows, maybe I'll get it third tri? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523715 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:19:25 +0000 MamaMoose 523715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 weeks of morning sickness for my sweet little girl. Her heart rate was allllll over the place though. Any where from low 130s to high 160s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523693 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:03:39 +0000 chopsuey 523693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Symptoms were the same for both.. No ms just some nausea. Had one of each! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523660 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 07:32:36 +0000 ValentineMommy 523660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no vomiting, but some nausea, and am having a boy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523561 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:12:56 +0000 Mrs. Blue 523561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Zofran for weeks b/c my morning sickness was awful, and I'm having boys. I've heard multiples make it worse, though, so I'm not sure my experience is reliable. For the record though, the boys heartbeats have almost always been in the 140s-150s, which I think is at least fairly consistent with the wives' tales about heartbeat &amp; gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523362 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:03:29 +0000 Bao 523362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little jealous of those who had little to no morning sickness, with either gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523359 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:02:40 +0000 Periwinkle 523359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of nausea during the first trimester. Also, the baby's heartbeat was always very high (150-160s until about 36 weeks when it slowed down a bit). We had a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523311 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:39:45 +0000 .twist. 523311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was super sick with my brother and not at all sick with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523298 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:35:56 +0000 travellingbee 523298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a boy and I threw up until 20 weeks and was sooooo sick all the time. Oh and his heart rate has always been high so that wives tale didn't work either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523180 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:36:47 +0000 iheartleopardprint 523180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>But, the heart rate was opposite- so that wasn't true for either babies. I did carry differently and have different cravings though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-523170 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:35:03 +0000 iheartleopardprint 523170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>True for me, with DS I was not nauseous once- I felt great! With DD I threw up multiple times a day for the first 3/4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522484 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:10:53 +0000 Ree723 522484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely zero morning sickness and I had a girl. Her heartbeat was also consistently in the low 140s, which should have indicated a boy. I also never swelled or had my 'looks stolen', and my linea nigra said boy too - so clearly none of the old wives tales were true for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522431 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:00:45 +0000 smocks 522431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had absolutely zero morning sickness and am having a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522228 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:09:09 +0000 Alivoo01 522228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, I haven't had any morning sickness (just nausea when I'm hungry or eat way too much) and the baby's heart rate has been below 160 so I'm guessing based upon old wives tales, I'm having a boy. Plus, my instincts tell me I'm having a boy too. Should be interesting to see what the ultrasound shows in a few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522149 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:39:38 +0000 Ra 522149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had horrific morning sickness and am having a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522132 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:35:49 +0000 rachiecakes 522132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have hardly any but one of my best friends was so sick she couldn't leave the house and eventually got a prescription to help with the nausea. We both had boys.<br /> Also, she stayed thin and active and healthy, good hair and skin. I was fugly, swollen, hot mess. So none of that "girls steal your beauty" business either. </p> <p>@PrincessBaby: DS's heart was consistently 160/170s. My mom said she was told I was a boy and my brother was a girl (haha I loved when she told us this story) based on the heart rate, so maybe it's just how it is in our family? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522120 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:32:54 +0000 Bao 522120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had average morning sickness and I have a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522118 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:32:41 +0000 BelugaBean 522118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty much no morning sickness and I had a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522094 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:26:58 +0000 lawbee11 522094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: OK glad my chances of a girl aren't out the window (I've thrown up once, but other than that it hasn't been too bad). Of course I'd be thrilled with a boy, too, but I really want an excuse to buy that tutu! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522075 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:22:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 522075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sick all the way through to the end and had a boy. </p> <p>@PrincessBaby: At our first ultrasound E's heart rate was in the 170s but every reading after that was between 130-140. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-sicknessnausea-related-to-gender#post-522065 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:20:18 +0000 PrincessBaby 522065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: The old wives tale that is most consistent it seems (not perfect!) is the heart rate one...H's heartbeat was in the 160s/170s my whole first and second tri:) </p>
