Which Gender Makes You More Tired in Pregnancy?

Published in Pregnancy Fatigue 1 min read

Pregnant women carrying girls report experiencing more nausea and fatigue.

Studies, like one from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (15-Feb-2017), show a correlation between carrying a female fetus and increased fatigue during pregnancy. While the exact reasons aren't fully understood, the study suggests differences in immune responses between pregnancies with male and female fetuses may play a role. This increased fatigue isn't a universal experience, but it's a statistically significant finding. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved.
