morning sickness question

I read in a book that morning sickness is ususally worse with the first
pregnancy. Or does the sex of the baby have any influence. A friend of mine
had horrid morning sicckness with her girl but much less with both boys.
I was really really sick 24/7 with my DD but now this time while I am
nauseas most of the time it is much less severe. Or is it a matter of luck?

Morning sickness is one of the pregnancy symptoms that differs from woman to
woman and pregnancy to pregnancy. I doubt that it is necessarily worse with
the first pregnancy - only that first-time mothers aren't used to dealing
with it. Gender also has nothing to do with it. I guess luck comes closer
than anything else to describing the differences. LOL

I think it's partly luck. I have three near neighbours who were all
hospitalised with dehydration due to vomiting, two in their second
pregnancy and one in the first pregnancy. My sister was hospitalised
with dehydration during her first pregnancy but not with her second
and both babies are girls. In my case I was more nauseous with my
second and third pregnancies because I knew I wasn't drinking enough
water (water made me feel sick and I couldn't drink enough of anything
sweeter) while with my first pregnancy I was quite easily drinking
about 3 litres of water a day.

Actually, at least one study showed a slightly
increased likelihood of a girl in pregnancies where
morning sickness was bad enough to require hospitalization.

I was mildly sick for a few weeks with #1 (girl), not at all with #2 (boy)
and really sick for the first 3 months with #3 (boy) So, I'd say its a
matter of luck

People say if you have a good first pregnancy, you shouldn't go back and
try it again as the 2nd will be awful

Not true at all. I'm on my *third* pregnancy with no signs of morning
sickness at all. (Hope I'm not jinxing myself here...I am only about 8
weeks along!)

With dd#1 I was sick 24/7 from about 10 dpo until week 26. I was sick about
once a day with occasional bad days, when I was sick more in that time.
After that it was a case of bad days and good days, but I did feel
completely better soon.
With dd#2 I was sick 24/7 from about the same point until week 20. However I
definitely started feeling better at week 12. I had bad days though right
the way up to the end and was sick on some days several times, and I never
felt totally better until she was born. I actually did get slightly worse
from about week 34, but not really bad again.

My mum said each pregnancy was better, although she was not very bad with
any of us. For info. she had 2 girls followed by a boy.

Luck.
This is my first child - at 16weeks, I wouldn't know it except I have no
period, and I saw the child alive on the u/sound.
