Old Wives Tale

I've heard that if you get a lot of nausea early on in your pregnancy it means you're having a girl. Has this been proven true for anyone ?

I had nausea no morning sickness but I surfed really bad heart burn and headaches with my 2 prem baby girls but this is my 4th pregnancy but 3rd baby girl and with this 1 I hardly have headaches and heartburn but first trimester I surfed really bad nausea worser to the point where I thought I'd have morning sickness but nope no morning sickness but with my 2nd pregnancy I nearly got sick but it never came back that 1 was apparently a boy that 1 was a missed miscarriage and then I got pregnant with my daughter witch that 1 was my 3rd pregnancy so you can never believe the old wives tale sometimes

My mom said sometimes we can tell by our looks and behaviour. If a mommy is always so fashionable and good looking and always putting on makeup dressing up and stuff then you are having a girl. But if you're too lazy to even put a lipstick on your face for the sake of anything and really just looking dull, then its a boy. Haha dont know how true is it but ypu can give it a try:) test the theory

With my first I didn't have any morning sickness at all. The only issue I had was feeling like I was going to pass out all the time and heartburn. My first was a girl. With my second I didn't get morning sickness until the end of my second trimester and had heartburn a lot and only felt like I was going to pass out when I didn't eat or drink properly. My second was a boy. Everyone swore I was having another girl the second pregnancy, but I knew it was a boy from the beginning.

I suffered with nausea most of my first and second trimester and even during the third. I'm having a boy.. So idk about the wives tale being correct... However, if you feel you're having a girl, trust your instincts. I knew I was having a boy :)
