squeamish during pregnancy means more likely to be a boy??
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.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

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.DS 1 2008

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.!!! Questions??

2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
