26 is roughly average (actually, I think 25 is average). It’s not young or “quite young.”

Brandy-It’s all relative to each individual.It doesn’t mean it works that way for every situation. I just meant that scientifically, there is a higher chance for morning sickness with girls because of the hormone that female infants produce in the womb (human chorionic gonadotropin) normally CAN cause flu-like symptoms in pregnant mothers.

And on a personal note, unlike your story of knowing women who were sick with there sons, including yourself, I know a lot of people who had both girls and boys who have mentioned being sick with only there girl pregnancies and even going as far as to say that that is how they guessed the gender and were correct. It’s all relative to the individual though, so who knows!

I’m 39 1/2, and yes when you get to this age trust me 26 is YOUNG!

I think her comment of 26 is more in relation to the age that her third kid will come. 40

Of course, she also can think of herself as quite young at 26, because she said that starting working in a popular tv show ( xfiles) at that age, was also a tough experience for someone at that age.

That’s true Cat. 26 to me seems young…and it’s not just because I’m not too far from being 26 myself in a few years :p

chris, she was married but divorced her 2nd husband.

“Quite young”? Since when is 26 quite young?

I knew someone would make a snarky comment like that…*sigh*

In this day and age, YES, 26 yr-old moms are considered by most of the population as “ahead of the curve”. Many modern-day women at age 26 are either just finishing a PhD (or in the middle of one), or have only been in the work field full-time for 2 yrs, and want to wait to have kids in their early 30’s or later…

For the people I know, it has been the complete opposite. Everyone who had girls had no sickness. The ones who had boys had it very severe. I was sick from day 1 until the day I delivered. Same for my friend who had a boy and my sister. I really don’t believe that one sex produces more morning sickness.

She looks great. But I thought she was married. Maybe I’m confusing her with someone else?

well her first kid is a girl.. and she didnt have. I am betting in a little brother for Oscar.
