Sounds mad but it’s true, honest! If you have 3 kids…

[Nunaluna]

Same dad, no miscarriages to ‘break the chain’, if the first 2 are opposite sex, the third will be whatever number 2 was - so BGG, or GBB. Not BGB, or GBG.

It sounds crazy but it’s something I noticed ages ago - every time somebody announces they’re having a third, and they have one of each, I know it will be the same as the second child.

Prove me wrong, Mumsnetters!

I had BBBBBBG

I have BGB

The only example I can think of (I do know people with three children but I can't remember their sexes) is William and Catherine Wales - doesn't work for them!

No.

I have DD1, DS and DD2.

Though family I was born in was DS DD1 DD2 - which made room sharing easier.

Luckily we ended up in a 4 bed before they hit teen years.

I am from a family of GBG and my husband is the opposite BGB both of us share the same dad as our siblings

My anecdotal theory on siblings when you just have two is there is usually only 1 or 2 months between them if end of one month and beginning of another. So sibling group one July and August, sibling group two July and August, sibling group three October and November etc etc every 2 child family I know follows this pattern regardless of year age gap.

I've got BBG soo...

Also no - January then July 🤣

Oh ok i won't give up the day job for analytics then 😂

Sorry not true for my family. Xxx

The late Queen had boy girl boy boy. If it's good enough for her it must be ok.

Like many on this thread, I had GBG, same father no miscarriages — I don’t believe there is any scientific evidence for this.

Bgg

Mine were November January.

I'm BGG but I've had many miscarriages over the years.

Only other people I know know with 3 are GBG and BBB.

BGB here. No miscarriages either

My mum had gbgb and I have gbg as do 3 of my friends

Well I’m no.3 with older sister then brother same parents.
GBG

Have you come across the term confirmation bias?!

Works for me OP - GBB.

You need to get out more; I imagine you sit rocking waiting for the postman & lick the windows with excitement when the milkman’s due for his money 🤦‍♀️ the excitement is just to much

Does this only apply if you stop at three? My sister has five kids; three girls, then a boy, and another girl to finish.

I had BGGG.

No. My best friend is the middle of three and she has an older and a younger brother.

BBB here, although middle B is now a G.
