My first trimester symptoms were completely different. I had barely any symptoms except exhaustion with my first (a girl), but with my 2nd (a boy), it was exhaustion, nausea, strong sense of smell, and I couldn't tolerate any sweets - I lived on simple carbs those first few months. I carried higher with a girl and lower with a boy too.

I was more sick with my second pregnancy (girl) than I was with my first (boy) and all together my second pregnancy was a lot harder than my first but I don't think gender played a part of it. Second, third, fourth, etc pregnancies are harder than the last.

They were similar except that I had bad heartburn with my second in my first trimester. My mom thought for sure I was going to have a girl. But the rest of my pregnancy (symptom-related) were the same. I had two boys.

I noticed a difference. With DD I hated meat, couldn't touch chicken or beef no matter what. With DS all I wanted to eat was hamburgers. I also wanted spicy things with DS, and didn't with DD.

I was about equally sick, just craved different things

My pregnancies were pretty similar at the beginning. Once I got further along with DS, my symptoms started changing, mostly because he was so much bigger than DD and because I carried him so much lower.
