    Many people in my family beleive that if you have minimal or no morning sickness, you are having a boy and if you are very sick you are having a girl.

    I wondered how true this myth is for ladies of the hive.

    My aunt was only sick twice between her two pregnancies with very little nausia and they were both boys. My mom was sick all day every day all 9 months for all 3 pregnancies and had 3 girls. I was sick twice and had a boy. There are those, however, who say they were very sick with their boys and had no morning sickness with their girls.

    @TheMrs2013: This is exactly the situation in every pregnancy in my family. Everyone was very sick with girls and had fantastic pregnancies with boys. I think what everyone says at this point about pregnancy is kind of crap (lots of opinions), but this one just seems to really ring true with so many people.

    My SIL has been sick for almost her whole pregnancy and she is having a boy.  I know a girl who is pregnant and she has been having morning sickness and she is having a boy.  My cousin had a girl, and I don't remember her complaining about being sick very much.  Who knows!

    I don't know what I'm having yet but I've had very little sickness (I actually just got sick for the first time last night, the rest of the time I've had very little to no nausea).  My SIL was super sick and had a boy.

    Funny, I'd heard it the other way around, something about the hormones being at war.  Sounds silly, I know, but I liked that explanation when I was throwing up every morning baking our boy.

    I've had 3 babies and they were ALL different as far as symptoms. My first was a girl and I had violent morning sickness that I could not calm with breathing, crackers, or anything. And it didn't just happen in the mornings. It was pretty bad and lasted until I was almost 7 months or so along. The smell of eggs or mint toothpaste meant instant vomit.

    My second was a boy and I had really typical morning sickness. Brushing my teeth would usually trigger it, and it wouldn't come back during the day.

    The third was a boy too and I had absolutely no morning sickness. I would feel kinda icky, and then it would just wear off. I wish I HAD gotten sick instead of the hernia he gave me though!

    There's not that many votes but so far the majority is in line with my families version of the myth. Anyone else?

    I've had NO morning sickness and am having a boy. It rings true for me!

    My mother had only 2 weeks of morning sickness with each girl (3), but no MS with twin boys.

    I had very little morning sickness with my first pregnancy and had a girl.

    This time the sickness was worse, but I don't know yet what I am having.

    I was sick until 14 or 15 weeks and am having a girl. My Mom was sick until her 5th month with both my brother and I, so for her the myth wasn't really true and I guess I'll find out if I ever have a boy!

    My SIL had pretty significant morning sickness and had a very cute baby boy.

    And my mother had three girls and very little morning sickness - she claimed she just needed to munch on a few saltines before getting out of bed in the morning because it would be a little unsettled, but she never vomited.

    I think genetics has more to do with morning sickness than the gender of the baby :)

    My grandma only gained 10 lbs with my mom because she was sick so much! I had no morning sickness or sickness in general, neither did my mom with me or my brother. Just depends I guess!

    I am STILL puking 2-3 times a week at 19w6d and get nauseous if I don't eat after a certain time and I'm having a boy. So the myth is false for me!

    I'm sorry, that is so not true. I have never been pregnant, but I've had lots of friends and family who are. Morning sickness depends a lot on the person. My sister had no morning sickness what so ever and she had a girl. My co worker had A LOT of morning sickness and she had a boy.

    I was only nauseous for about 4 weeks around the 2 month mark, didn't physically get sick, just felt hungover. (So really not very sick)  Had a little lady several months later! :)  My friend, who was preggers at the same time as me, had to be on meds for sickness for her entire pregnancy - she also had a baby girl.
