Morning sickness and gender

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about morning sickness/extreme nausea being related to baby gender. With my two boys I never had these symptoms but now at age 36 and 4 wks pregnant I do. I'm nauseated all the time. Any insight? And what do you do for nausea?

Didn't have as much morning sickness with my daughter, I am 36 weeks and still get major nausea and this one is a boy. Don't think it has anything to do with gender, each pregnancy is just different.

I had hypermesis both pregnancies was mild with my daughter & quite bad with my son (current pregnancy) I think every pregnancy is different regardless of gender though.

I can tell you both of my pregnancies were polar opposites.  With my son I ate healthy and had just slight nausea with occasional uses with motion sickness.  With this pregnancy,  a girl,  I have hyperemesis and at 37 weeks prego I am still getting sick and the only reason I have gained any weight at all is because I crave chocolate,  which I normally don't.

I think it really depends on the woman. I have morning sickness because I am prone to migraines and have extremely bad motion sickness. I have two girls and hoping this is a boy.BTW o craved sweets with the girls crave more salts and meats with this one so hoping it's a boy!

I was never sick with my first 2 boys but now I'm having a 3rd I thought it was a girl due to how sick, nauseous, and all the acne I was getting but no it's another boy!

I had really bad morning sickness with all my babes. I have 2boys, a girl, and another girl on the way. Gender didn't effect it. I was miserable either way.

It really depends on the person. I'm expecting my third girl. My girls always made me a sick. I also always craved healthy foods with them.
My boys rarely made me sick, made me feel like a crazy person and I always wanted meat and fatty food.
