What's the chances it's a boy?

This is my frst time posting so hi everyone! I have a question about possible gender...so a lot of friends and family that i've talked to are saying its possible im having baby boy because im not experiencing much morning sickness or vomitting. Im hoping this is true cuz I want a boy but im sure its not 100%. im 13weeks today and i've thrown up twice since i've been pregnant. What are your experiences and differences being pregnant with boys and girls?  :)

Every pregnancy is different hun. What you can look at though is on the baby daddy's side of the family what are there more kids of boy or girls? If its pretty close then I wouldn't go by that. But if its a significant amount then you probably have a better chance. But with me I am 22 weeks and 2 days and I puked the first three fourths of my first trimester. And then maybe once every two weeks or so when I would brush my teeth for a awhile. But as of now I don't feel pregnant, I sure as heck look it and I can feel my baby girl. But that's about it, besides my breasts. Lol just remember every pregnancy is different!

Those are all old wives tales...  every woman and every pregnancy is different. Just like everyone else.. you have a 50/50 chance of it being a boy.

Idk how accurate this is but supposably if the placenta is on the right its a boy and the left a girl.

Its always a 50/50 chance....I'm 22 weeks, the Chinese calander said boy and so did all the online quiz things. Everything pointed to boy. I haven't been sick at all! I carry low! Not alot of heartburn! The ring test said boy! Everything said boy, until I had my sono and she's def a little Girl!! Anyway Congrats and good luck

I had every sign I was having a boy, including very little morning sickness. I've only thrown up 3 times my entire pregnancy (I'm 20 weeks now) and one of those times I was really sick with a virus. I thought it was a boy, everybody told me it was a boy, all the old wives tales said it was a boy. And it's very definitely a girl, confirmed twice so far at 2 separate ultrasounds done by different people. So I guess the answer to your question is you have a little less than a 50% chance (because boy-creating sperm are more delicate), no matter what your symptoms.

I know its different for every one.  I know this is a odd thing that I have found but I'm having a boy and my sex drive is non-existant compared to before I got pregnant.  My friends said hers was a lot higher and she had  a girl.  

My mom wasn't morning sick at all and either was my sister in any of their pregnancies.  I haven't been at all either.   So I don't think that is a good indicator.

I don't think morning sickness has a thing to do with whether it's a boy or girl. With my little girl I never had any morning sickness with her. I'm 23 weeks pregnant now with a baby boy and I have been so sick all the way up until my 4th month and sometimes I still have days where I'm sick. Every pregnancy is different, it doesn't have anything to do with gender:)

My mom had five girls and was not morning sick one day in any of the pregnancies.  I had a boy and was never morning sick.  I wonder if the sensitivity to progesterone that causes morning sickness is passed from mother to daughter, having nothing to do with the gender of the baby but everything to do with genetics.
