any boy moms
Plan on trying for a girl?
I had 5 boys before my first girl (not to scare you just part of the story,) as soon as I had my us. For my girl my mom was like don't get your hopes up. (I already knew it was a girl before because of a very unrealistic but realistic dream I had I just knew it I told my u.s. tech it was a girl. She was like great are you going to cry when I say boy. I said no because you won't say a boy. She was honestly scared for me.
Anyway when I had her everybody asked me if I was done because I hot my girl. I said nope cause I honestly wasn't trying for a girl.
Before I became pregnant, I placed a lot of emphasis on gender. I always wanted and pictured myself having one boy, then one girl, then done.
My first is a girl though, so that already put an end to that plan. I've also started dreaming of three kids, if circumstance allows, but to be honest, I don't care what gender they are anymore! Now that I've experienced how it feels to have a doctor tell me my fundal height is too small, my baby has a small cyst on her brain, and a panic attack when her movement seriously decreased for a good 12 hours... plus getting to know Mom friends who have dealt with struggling premies, newborns with disabilities, or giving birth to sleeping Angels... I truly just want them to be healthy.
Three healthy girls, is as much as a blessing as three healthy boys, is as much as a blessing as two healthy girls and one healthy boy. Heck, I'll be blessed if I can even have three kids!
I met a couple years ago who wanted a boy so bad they kept having kids until they got their boy. Well they ended up with 6 kids total. I have a son and I just love it. If I ever end up having another I'm hoping for another boy. Of course whatever God sends us will be a gift.
We have three adult aged sons and I am pregnant with boy #4 (a surprise). Husband is wanting to try one more time for a little girl, but I feel like we would be a family of 5 boys...so I am hoping to convince him to adopt a little girl. I would love a daughter, but I was a tomboy growing up and when I taught, my most of my classes had more boys than girls. I have the temperament/personality to be a mother of boys. :-)
I have 2 boys and I would LOVE a little girl aswell. BUT we don't think we can afford 3 kids. A reason that I hate!!! We're going to assess our situation next year and see if we can have 3. Like I said I'd love a girl and would try the method around ovulation but I would also be over the moon if we had another boy. As long as baby is healthy ?
I guess it depends on how desperate one is...and if they can afford to keep trying until they have both genders. I don't care what I get, as long as my babies are healthy. My aunt on the hand kept trying for a girl. She stopped trying after the 4th boy was born. Another cousin had 5 boys and 6th pregnancy was girl so she stopped there.
I'm due with my second boy in November and my DHs first. He has a daughter whom is ready 13, and I had my heart set on this baby being a girl. We've already talked about trying for another baby soon after this ones born but honestly this pregnancy has been rough. And i might be ok with the kids we have now lol but time will tell
I have two boys and have always wanted a girl but I am done now. My boys are very close and it's so nice to see their bond as brothers but the amount of energy between the two of them is overwhelming. Never ever will I have another baby, even if I was guaranteed a girl. This does make me really sad because I'll never get to experience having a girl but it would be unfair for me to have another. I already feel like my first doesn't get the amount of attention he deserves because my second constantly needs me.
I got lucky I had my boy first and I wanted a boy first and this time I'm having a girl. but if you really want to try for baby number three I know its silly but might be at least fun to try all the old wives tales on you and SO eating certain things or trying to conceive on a specific date I've also heard that girl sperm swim slower than boy so you could try a few days before you ovulate you can at least make it fun lol
Well it is 50% chance each time! Doesn't matter what gender your previous kid is. Also there aren't any morphological difference between x chromosome and y chromosome carrying sperm. So there's nothing you can do to increase your chances. There are a lot of myths out there about it though.
When we found out our baby #2 will be boy #2, we also started discussing having a baby #3 to try for a girl. It's hard. We haven't told our families what we are having and everyone (I mean everyone from the 8 year old niece all the way up to DH's 83 year old dad) expect this baby to be a girl. They all talk about 'baby girl' constantly. Sometimes I just want to shout at them 'the baby is a boy, are you going to love him less because he's not got the genitals you wanted him to have?!?!'
DH and I want to have 3-5 children. I really hope the next one is a girl. I really love ds #1 and know I'll love ds #2 just as much, but I'm so outnumbered! Our pets are all boys (coincidence), then DH, ds1 and in February ds2!
If you really want to, I say go for it!!! If it does turn out to be boy #3 just remember it's meant to be!! :)
Also if you're regular maybe you can dtd accordingly. Like for a girl they say have sex a few days before you know you're fertile since girl swimmers break thru to the egg faster
I've always wanted six kids regardless of genders. I had two girls and then a boy. Currently working on baby number four. It seems almost everyone in my family has three kids and the third being a different gender than the first two. I have a friend who had two boys and was nervous to try for a third because she didn't want another boy. She in fact had a third boy last year lol. Now they are deciding if they want a fourth to see if they get a girl
I'm a boy mom! I have 3yo twin boys and a 3 month old.. I love them so so much!! But if I'm gonna be honest, when I first thought about being a mom I wanted to have a daughter... One daughter... Haha, didn't happen like that.
I'm gonna try one last time when all my boys are school aged... Maybe I'll get my princess- doubtful, but maybe....
My husband and I want 4 children. We have one boy so far, and really want a girl. We plan on having two more children on our own, then adopting. If we don't have a girl together, we will adopt one. If we do have a girl together, we will adopt a boy or a girl, whichever feels right.
Nope. I have 2 boys and I'm not gonna try for a girl. I'm content with my 2 boys. Yes I'll miss out on having a daughter but I have several girl nieces in my family and thru friends. I don't think I can handle another child period. If it a boy or a girl lol. I had permanent birth control so there's no more babies for me
Odds are 50/50
