I found it had a lot to do with how much sleep I got- not that pregnancy made me nausiated directly, but it made me need more sleep, and if I didn't get enough sleep, I felt sick to my stomach. Keeping my stomach from ever getting fully empty helped too- I used to get up at night for snacks when I was pg and nursing. If your nasea just came back with a vengence, I'd look to see if something else is causing stress right now- heat you're not used to, less sleep than you should have gotten, even a mild illness of some sort.
In general, morning sickness (aka all day sickness) was worst from weeks 6-10, and by week 14 it was gone completely. That was my general pattern for all 3 babies, but the details varied slightly with each one.
My 2nd pg was the hardest because I was still caring for a crawling baby/toddler during that time, and she literally needed less sleep than I did! With my 3rd pg, both girls were in school (preschool and kindy when I got pg and kindy and 1st grade when I gave birth) so I was able to get the rest I needed.
And as for the "morning sickness means a boy"- it's all BS. I was convinced I was having a 3rd girl until my son popped out and I saw the boy parts. There were no significant differences in any of my pregnancies.
