I am curious as to how each pregnancy was different? I know they say girls carry low and come with more morning sickness, and boys carry high with frequent headaches!?!!?


Just wondering what everyones real experience was!

my 1st girl I carried W I D E, lots of swelling, headaches, craved sweet Chinese food and french fries

my 2nd girl I carried only in my belly and high, craved spicy salsa and Coke like crazy

my 1st boy I carried in my belly only and LOW, had horrible morning sickness (lost 10 pounds from puking), craved potato salad chicken wings and fudge frosting oh and creamed spinach- I almost beat up a grocery store clerk over frozen creamed spinach

my 2nd boy I carried all belly in the middle, had no morning sickness but a touch of car sickness, craved french fries, Dr Pepper, Root beer, and shrimp

3rd girl I carried all belly again- she would go from being super low to being up in my ribs, car sickness and only a touch of morning sickness, craved french fries, sweets and Dr Pepper.

With my oldest son all the cooks at work told me he was a boy based on how I carried. Eh.

With my daughter I carried wide, but she was transverse until around 32/33 weeks, so that explains that. I also gained more fatty weight with her because of stress and inactivity.

With Israel I was just gigantic all around.

I have a short torso though, so I'm not sure it would really make a difference.

My girls were much tougher than my boys. I didn't really have more m/s because I didn't have much with any of my pregnancies but I just felt rotten through the whole pregnancy. Like having a cold or the flu...just icky. Everything seemed heightened...the breathlessness, the pressure, the exhaustion, the uncomfortableness, etc.

My boys were really actually pleasant pregnancies. I was still very tired in the beginning and had a wave of nausea here and there but for the most part I felt wonderful overall.

Let's put it this way, with my girls, by 35-36 weeks I was DONE! I couldn't take another day of pregnancy. I called my ob at 37 weeks with my daughter bawling saying I was loosing my mind but if I woke up pregnant the next day I may run off and jump off a bridge. lol He pushed me off until 38.5 weeks thank goodness. With my first boy I went to 42 weeks and still didn't have that "loosing it' feeling. With my 2nd boy I cried at 39.5 weeks when it was time for him to be born (scheduled c-section) because I wasn't ready for the easy pregnancy to end and the inevitably yucky postpartum to begin. I wanted to meet my baby more than anything but I was enjoying that pregnancy so much.

I carried different but the same with each one of them. lol
Boy 1 - VERY round belly..all belly. you could see my belly from my back it was so round and sticking out everywhere! lol
Girl 1- VERY round belly with a little weight packed on in booty and hips too
Girl 2 - VERY pointy belly (looked like a long skinny watermelon sticking straight out in front) and no weight anywhere else
Boy 2 - also pointier but not as pointy as dd. You couldn't tell I was pregnant from the back what-so-ever.

My FIrst was my daughter i ddin't have no morning sickness or head aches just heartburn and ingestion gained 50lbs and she only weighed 6lbs 13oz


My second was my son no morning sickness or head aches and only gained 15lbs with him he came out weighing 9 lbs and almost 23 inches long i was all belly wit him had heartburn ingestion the whole time

this pregnancy i have had nothing but morning sickness but its around the same time at night not morning really bad headaches and ingestion and heart burn

1 - With my first son, I had slight morning sickness. I felt really self conscious. I didn't noticed how I carried, but I gained 75 lbs. I just ate and ate and ate. I had panic attacks a lot.
2 - With my daughter, I had no morning sickness. Felt amazing. Gained very little weight.
3 - With my youngest son, I had some morning sickness. Mostly when brushing my teeth. My weight gain was minimal. I didn't start showing until the 6th month.
4 - This baby I've had extreme headaches, morning sickness, and so far, I'd say it was the worst. I'm thinking maybe I just don't remember my first 3 well enough.

I've noticed that each pregnancy has differed. So, it hasn't given me an idea on what the sex of this baby will be. My first 2 children were from a previous marriage, and my 3rd is with DH. For some reason, I've felt like that may have something to do with it?

Actually I think the wives-tale is girls carry higher and boys lower Anyway that's how it was for me. i swelled terribly with DD, and not at all with DS. With DS, I just looked like I had a basketball in my belly, and it was great! With DD, I was huge all over and very uncomfortable.

i didnt carry differently with mine but there were alot of differences between boy and girl for me.
With both my boys, i had no symptoms (except no AF) and put on alot of weight in the first trimester. I craved fatty foods
With my DD, from time to time i felt slightly queasy and lost weight in the first trimester. I craved fresh fruits.
This pregnancy is feeling alot like when i was pregnant with my DD, ive lost weight and all i want to eat is apples and i feel sick all the time.

With both my daughters I had morning sickness and my bump wasn't big. With my son I had no sickness just slight nausea but started to show early and was all out front. With this baby no sickness but the nausea and I have started to show.

I've had 2 boys and 1 girl. My first pregnancy was the most different, but ironically, my pregnancies with DD & DS2 were just about identical. In fact, before my big u/s, I was pretty sure that DS2 was a girl because everything was so similar, even down to my cravings for fruit. But nope, he was all boy! It goes to show you just never know.

My boy - Carried super low, was super round and fat everywhere, only had minor morning sickness for 12 weeks. Craved sweets like crazy.

My girl - Carried high, had morning sickness for the entire pregnancy and was sick as a dog, craved meats and fruits.
