With my first I had morning sickness and craved spicy and sour foods, nothing healthy I could eat, Id get sick.. but with this baby I crave spicy and sweet stuff, like I could eat a hot pinkles than cake... and I love healthy food sometimes crave salads. .. it just depends on the pregnancy both of my babies are boys

I personally dont believe that to be 100% accurate my first pregnacy i craved meats and cheese and yes i had a boy but with this pregnacy ive been craving salty and sour and its a girl plus on both pregnacys i didnt have no symtoms at all and they also say that when your pregnant with girls you have severe morning sickness but i felt nothing but tender brest.

Cravings have nothing to do with your baby's sex.

My first as a boy and I didn't get nausea but I was extremely tired and extremely thirsty. This time its a girl and I had morning sickness my first trimester and mild tiredness. Look up increased signs of estrogen/ testosterone... I had big boobs early and kept forgetting things I normally don't. Flags for me that I was producing to much estrogen.. Its a girl!

That's just an old wives tale. Cravings have nothing to do with gender
