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!

My mum had BBG.

True

First two are meant to be opposites so no bb or gg.

I’m one of a GBG. No miscarriages.

everyone I know with three is GBG.

I’m having GBG, currently pregnant with my 3rd. Surely it’s 50/50 for each sex?

Nope, still bullshit.

FWIW I’m the third child in my family and we’re GBG. My brother’s kids are BGBG.

No.

The ones I know
GBG
GBG
GBG
BGG

I would say the exact opposite to you 🙃

I have GBGG

My mum had BGBG

I have GBG, know 2 others with the same

I'm one of 5 bgbgb same dad no miscarriages

I have two family members who have 3 kids; GGB and GBG

It's not true though. Just did a quick mental tally of people I know and including my own I know 7 families with 3 kids where the middle child is a different sex than the oldest and youngest; and 4 where the two oldest are the same sex and the youngest is the opposite sex. In my circle of friends and family there is only one BGG family..

GGB

I have BBG, DD has BBB, one gran had BBB and the other GGG.

Utter tosh! 🙈

Someone I know has BB and then twin girls.

no miscarriages to ‘break the chain’

Wow what an awful way to refer to miscarriages.

My mum had GBB(GGG)
DB had BBG so I guess doesn’t count
Friend had GBB(B)
Trying to think of other people who had 3 DC with same partner…

Vogue Williams had BGB but wouldn’t know if she had losses

Hard for me to comment because my mom had miscarriages (she lost count, she wasn't bothered by them) and otherwise I don't know who had miscarriages when. My guess is that most of us don't know about anyone else's miscarriages, so most of us have no clue.

I never had a misc & had BGBB, so doesn't fit OP's theory.

Nope. I was the oldest, then my sister, then our brother, so: GGB

I know a lot of two of the same and the third or fourth are the same too so BBB or GGGG. Some of my cousins BGGG, GGG, BGG, BGGB, BBB, GGG, and only one set GBtwinG.

Mine are BGGG

Erm yep, that works here! I'm trying to think of who else I know to prove the theory!

Nope. I know of many BGB combinations.
