If your baby's father is a vegetarian, did you have (or are you having) a girl or a boy?

An old wives' thread Smile.

Just curious since every vegetarian dad I know has had girls! I have one already and wondering what #2 will be.

My husband is veg and I have a boy. My Hindu friend (pure veg, no eggs) has one of each. Actually, it would be worth remembering that most Hindus are veg and that the Hindu population of India seems to have both boys and girls!

Veg parents - 2 girls here too. More girls than boys in DH's family and they all eat meat except DH.

DH eats meat two or three times a month. We had a boy.

I don't know why I even bother with these old wives' tales Grin

I sense that I am carrying another girl. It'd be sort of nice to have a boy this time because there aren't any boys in DH's family yet, but it's all good!
