Anyone have nausea and still have a boy?

Anonymous
SO I have always wanted a baby boy. No matter what I will be happy if I just have a healthy baby. However, since I am always throwing up people are always telling me I must be having a girl. I was just wondering if anyone had pretty bad nausea during their pregnancy and still had a boy.

I've been pregnant 3 times with boys. The first time I had zero morning sickness. The second time I had terrible morning sickness -- so bad I had to go on Zofran. The third time I had morning sickness, but it didn't last as long as the second pregnancy.

It's totally an old wives tale. I'll reassure you the opposite way -- I've had zero morning sickness, nausea, food aversions and I'm having a girl.

My friend was hospitalized due to severe morning sickness with 2 or her 3 pregnancies, all boys.

I agree that this sounds like an old wives tale.

Old wives tale indeed. I've had two boys and one girl. The pregnancies have all had severe nausea and throwing up.

Everyone tells me the same thing and I desperately want a girl. I've had absolutely NO morning sickness, so I keep being told it's a boy. My sister is also pregnant and has been really sick... she just had her U/S and found out it's a girl. My mom had 3 girls and she was sick with all of her pregnancies. I am hoping it's just an old wive's tale because I want a girl SO badly... I just have a feeling it's a boy now.

I had nausea and had a boy. Second time, no nausea and had a girl.

I've had both genders and was nauseated/throwing up both times until about 15 weeks. Pregnancies were pretty much identical.

I REALLY don't think that gender can be predicted by nausea or lack of it!

Nausea for weeks 8 through 20 and I'm having a BOY!

Old wives' tale. No nausea here and a baby girl.

Old wives tale. Just like people will say that if you're all tummy, you're having a boy, but if you get bigger all over, it's a girl. It's always the negative that if supposed to predict a girl - I think they're mostly sexist holdovers from when boys were just valued more. For what it's worth, I have a boy and I had terrible morning sickness.

I've had two boys and two girls and nausea was HORRIBLE with all four. I had never heard of a correlation between morning sickness and gender. Considering 75 to 80% of women experience nausea there is no way it could be due to gender.

WhatEVER. I had terrible nausea this time around and everyone told me it's because it was a boy. Clearly people just make stuff up.

FWIW, I am indeed having a boy! But I was nauseous the first pregnancy too, and that was a girl...
