squeamish during pregnancy means more likely to be a boy??

[Rosie85]

I saw an article on a study that states you are more likely to be squeamish with certain foods and smells when pregnant with a boy because they are weaker as embryos and it adds protection. Anyone experience this? I was super bothered by meat and coffee and tons of smells with my 3 boys and this time around i had zero issues with it but no clue what i am having yet. Were you less squeamish when pregnant with a girl??

It stated it has no relation to nausea in general but the reactions to smells and foods.

No for me much much so much worse with 3 of my girls . . . . To the point I couldn't do much and was totally miserable. All smells. All foods. Bad memories.

My friend, while pregnant with her first daughter, had to get rid of her mild Glade plugins she had just purchased, and her husband had to cook Thanksgiving dinner in their garage! Luckily for them, the garage had a stove!

I was only squeamish with cooking fish inside and coffee with both DS's.

I doubt there is a correlation.

overactive sense of smell during pregnancy has to do with your sinus over production. Every mucous membrane in your body goes into over drive from your lady parts to your nose. Keeping your sinuses clear and in my case with antihistamines gets rid of the bloodhound nose that will turn you off to certain smells.

I don't buy the sinus thing. I have been sick with horrendous sinus symptoms for over half this pregnancy...tons and tons of drainage and such and zero issues with smells. It should have been worse than ever this time according to that.

I think its like the whole hyperemesis thing where its only a small percentage likely to be girl over boy. Obviously not a smoking gun to be able to say its a girl for sure.

Symptoms don't predict gender.

I was plenty squeamish with my daughter. And sons LOL. Pregnancy makes me squeamish. One day (when I was pg with my daughter) we were driving in a Jeep with a gas can in it and the smell of the gas almost made me sick. My husband couldn't even smell it.

If there is anything grosser than trying to cook a turkey when pregnant I don't know what it is. I still get a little revolted every year just from the memory. I think we're having ham this year haha
