Ever had horrendous Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HD) i Ever had horrendous Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HD) in pregnancy? Did you know, according to research, you have a 50% higher risk of experiencing it, when carrying a daughter? I had it once in 4 pregnancies and only with my first, a son. How about you? Severity: Studies have shown that pregnancies with HG and a female fetus might experience higher levels of ketonuria (a sign of severe dehydration) and more frequent hospital admissions. Key Points: Scientific Evidence: Research published in PubMed found a higher percentage of girls among those with HG, supported by further studies mentioned in New Scientist. Other Potential Causes: Recent research has also highlighted the role of the GDF15 hormone, with higher levels in the womb correlating with the severity of sickness BBC News. Risks: HG is considered a high-risk condition, and close monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended, regardless of the baby’s gender Cleveland Clinic. #research #fyp #viral #pregnancy #hg

Did you know the common belief that all babies are Did you know the common belief that all babies are born with blue eyes is actually a myth? A baby’s eye colour at birth depends on genetics and brown is common too. My daughter , a newborn here, now 4, had bluey green eyes until around age one when they turned hazel. They sometimes look orange in the light too!! She was born with brown eyes though. My sons were both born with brown eyes which never changed colour. You should know your baby’s final eye colour by the age of 3. Did your baby’s eye colour change too? #newborn #babygirl #viral #research #parenting

Did you know that the old wives’ tale that morning Did you know that the old wives’ tale that morning sickness means you’re having a girl, is statistically true? Several studies have shown that chronic morning sickness means an increased chance of having a girl and one study even suggests that the more sick you are, the smarter the baby, girl or boy. A study at the University of Washington compared the gender outcomes of 2100 pregnant women admitted to hospital with acute morning sickness during their first trimester with a control group of 9783 women who did not get sick. The hospitalised group were more likely to have girls and those hospitalised for 3 or more days had an 80% increase in girls compared to the control group. Another study in Sweden found similar results. #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting momtomom grandmother pregnancy pregnancyfacts biology relatable science facts studies babygirls babyboy babygirl
