Just for fun, and out of curiosity I'm wondering whether the old wives tale that the amount of morning sickness you have is linked to the sex of the baby.
We're team green, but it's fun to guess what we're having, and while I have a feeling it's a girl, a lot of my symptoms are very boy according to old wives tales (which I take with a grain of salt obviously)!
I've enabled multiple votes to vote depending on different pregnancies.

Had zero MS with both of mine that I know the sex of, and they were girls. (Didn't with others either, but don't know.)

I had awful awful MS with my boy. I had moderate MS with my girl pregnancies - but honestly, one was more severe than the other even within that moderate range so for me I think it just varies pregnancy to pregnancy rather than by gender.

I had pretty intense nausea with both my pregnancies. It was so similar that I was convinced my second was another girl... but it was a boy.

DS1 - zero nausea at all. Boy.
DS2 - moderate nausea - no puking. Boy.
DS3 - moderate nausea - no puking. Boy.

With DS I had zero morning sickness. Now I'm pregnant with DD and I had pretty nausea. I was on rx meds for it until 15 weeks and I still get occasional bouts of nausea at 22 weeks.
The old wives tale was totally true for me.

@Truth Bombs: Ditto. I felt exactly the same--if not a little worse--with this baby, so I was convinced it was another girl. Nope. Boy!

I had a moderate nausea for about 16 weeks for 2 pregnancies. It was constant with no relief and progressively got worse each week - girls
I have moderate nausea again but it's totally different. I have good days where I feel bad but it doesn't affect me too much. Then I have days where it's awful and I'm heaving and all I can do to feel better is lay down and sleep. This one is a boy

Zero to little nausea w/ DD1 & DD2. More with this baby (particularly in moving vehicles), but I don't know the sex yet!

Basically none with my son. This time I felt nauseous often but never threw up. Also had bad heartburn. It's a girl.

Very bad nausea/strong food aversions but no vomiting with my son. Pregnant again with another boy and have had less severe nausea and also no vomiting and no food aversions this time.

I have two girls. I hardly was sick at all with my first but I was pretty sick for a while with my second (I voted moderate).

I had all day nausea but barely any vomiting with both my girls. The nausea was brutal. My little sister and my BFF both had a boy and were puking all the time. My other sister has two boys and had some nausea with no vomiting. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it!

I have 2 boys and currently TG with our third. First boy moderate nausea and vomiting 1-2 times a day. Second boy, no vomiting but still some nausea. I'd say little ms. This time I think nausea and vomiting was more moderate, like my first or a bit worse. I'm 18 weeks and still need Unisom/B6 to function. I'm guessing another boy!

Boy - no sickness at all
Girl - moderate nausea all day
My sister had 2 boys - 1st no sickness at all, 2nd so sick she broke a rib from puking! We were all SO convinced she was having a girl because the pregnancies were so different!

Two girls (TG both times): no nausea the first time, and zofran and hospitalization the second

I had no m/s with either, and one is a boy, and the other will be a girl. So basically, I'm no help at all!

Super interesting! We'll see how this pans out. I've had little to none at 11.5 weeks now, my main issue has been reflux and food aversions. Some days I have no idea how I'm going to last on Team Green

I have a girl and am pregnant with a boy and my morning sickness was pretty much exactly the same both times - right down to the same extreme aversion to the smell of eggs.

Horrible morning (all day and night) sickness with both boys, lasted 21 weeks, regular nausea for the remainder of both pregnancies.
nectarine / 2987 posts
My memory isn't that good! I think they were about the same. Maybe a smidge worse with my son than with my daughter?

Moderate MS (felt sick basically all the time but almost never actually threw up) and girl.

Boy: Constant nausea with moderate puking, major food aversions, lasting all the way through delivery.
Girl: Moderate nausea and puking. I was queasy pretty constantly every day, and puked pretty much every morning like clockwork (and occasionally other times when smells got too much). Tapered off by 14-15 weeks, minus the random wave or puke (usually directly related to my preschooler's poop or my coworkers' food).

I have a girl and a boy. Both pregnancies were very little to none morning sickness. If I had to pick which one was easier, prob the girl pregnancy (first). For my boy pregnancy, I was slightly nauseated for like one day.
