11yr gap

I had a very rough pregnancy with my soon to be 11 yo son and am now apx 19 weeks along. This pregnancy is so much different then my son that I think I may be having a girl. Have others experienced this with such an age gap between children?

My son will be 11 on February 28 and I am due March 1st with a little girl. I'm a little nervous starting all over again, at times I think I'm crazy. My son will be able to help out a little and that's great. Both of my pregnancies were really the same, except I haven't really gained weight this time around and am carrying high. I'm over the moon excited to meet the little girl that's kicking me as I type. :-)

Me and my little sister are 10 years apart, also I had several friends my age who also had siblings in my sister's class. For me it was fun being able to help take care of her, and I am 26 now her 16 and I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my first.

My son will be 9 when I give birth with my second, a girl.  With my son it was very complicated.Pre-eclampcia, in and out of the hospital etc. So far with my girl I had bad nausea and extremely tired until 12-13ish week. That's it.  I'm now 25 weeks and it's going good so far. =)

I have a 5 year old son and with him I was sick right away in the morning and craved stuff and was always hungry. This time around I hardly had any morning sickness and havent had one craving. My husband and I found out we are having a girl. For me the pregnancy this time around from the start made me belive I was having a girl.

I have an 11 year old daughter and daughter number 2 is on the way. My first pregnancy was so easy, I enjoyed being pregnant. This pregnancy I've had every symptom you can think of plus some and I definitely do not enjoy it as much this time around. Gender has nothing to do with it. I think second pregnancies are just harder no matter how much space is between them.

My first child just turned 8 years old.  She's a girl and I'm expecting a girl with this pregnancy too.  I've had completely different pregnancies.  So in my case, gender didn't have anything to do with it.
