Old Wives Tale # 8 & 9

It's Better to Throw up Your Hands

Dad will say it's only natural for you to have morning sickness.
Frequent nausea, he's heard for years, goes with being in a family way.

But according to the greater authority of old wives' tales, you are more likely to have morning sickness when a girl is in your tummy.

A boy, it is said, waits until he's born to upset you!

Due for an Overhaul?

Overall, do you feel well or not so well during pregnancy?

Let's not question the wisdom or logic of this folklore, but it is said that bearing a son is the more comfortable way to go.

Having a daughter, it is said, makes for a more troublesome pregnancy.


I have felt really good this entire pregnancy.... To the point if it weren't for the positive pregnancy tests I wouldn't have thought I was pregnant at all. I had sore boobs towards the beginning and have been peeing a bunch. But that's about it. No real morning sickness, no major food aversions, no major cravings. So I think we need to add two boy votes (Matt may just be wrong about "this little girl growing inside me"!

Running Total: 
Boy: 4
Girl: 5
