Which did you have, if you have 3 ( or more) DC? Just curious really. I have boy, boy and contemplating #3 but very unsure.

My exH had BB with his ex
Then we had BG

So if we are talking dads as the sex us determined by him, it's BBBG

I know a family where 3 generations have had 4-5 kids and all of them in each generation were the same sex as each other.

@HeyGirlHeyBoy is that a fact more likely another boy? Why? I always thought it was 50% each time but some families only have one sex and others have 5 kids same sex thee must be reasons why. Would love that know more xx

BurgundyBells · 21/03/2021 01:09

Boy, boy, boy for me.

If you'd only have another with the hope for a girl though I'd think very carefully before continuing. I'm sure I've read that the more of one sex you have that statistically you're more likely to have the same again so the odds are more in favour of another boy.

Usually it's just luck of the draw. It's 50% each time, approximately. That said, there are some families that contain sex-linked diseases (so genetic diseases that are carried on the sex chromosomes- the X or the Y) that cause miscarriages in foetuses of one sex, so all live births are the other.

I don't have three, but I am one of three and so is my DH.
My DM: GBG
My MIL: BBG
My DB: GBG

I do have a number of friends though that are one of three girls.

@HamFisted I've never heard of that I'm going to do some more research of how it all works. It's all really complicated but so interesting how tbr body works

quollaa · 21/03/2021 03:35

@HamFisted would you know if you have a sex linked disease? Before or after having Kids? X
