Baby Girl

Recently I found out I was pregnant. I was 16 weeks when I found out. I had absolutely no morning sickness, no weight gain, and none of the other normal signs. I had a sonar at 21 weeks and they said it is a girl, yet everything about this pregnancy is like when I was pregnant with my son. Can you tell gender by the behavior of the baby in the womb?

I was thinking the same thing! When I was pregnant with my son I got the morning sickness & all the symptoms. Now on my second pregnancy I really dont feel like I am pregnant at all! I am only a little over 6 weeks so I haven't had an ultrasound yet. I just thought maybe because I feel so different than last time, maybe it would be a different gender. Apparently I am wrong, lol :)

With both of my daughters my pregnancies were EXTREMELY different. I was convinced my second would be a boy and it wasnt. You can't base gender on hormones or similarities in pregnancy or any of that. Also with your second you are going to show a lot sooner. With my first I didn't show until 6 months and with my second I had a very obvious bump by 16 weeks. Also it's normal during second pregnancies to feel more aches and pains.

Hi that's funny that you should ask that, everyone swears up and down that im having a boy.My daughter who is now 18 hopes for a girl and so do i, but something is diff. about this pregnancy first my age 2nd im 4 months and look like im 6or 7 im carrying low and i have a lot of aches and pain i don't really no if that means anything but all in all i just hope it's healthy. They ask me if i wanted to take that down symdrone test and i said no because i fill whatever is gonna happen then just let it be, anyways goodluck to you and i just hope you have a healthy boy or girl.

You can not tell gender based on previous pregnancies. Every pregnancy is different. My first full term pregnancy and the one now are almost opposites yet both are boys. Everyone I know thought for sure I was having a girl because this pregnancy is so different. I have heard others who have a boy and girl and the pregnancies were basically the same. I think it just depends on how your body reacts to each pregnancy.
