giving birth to a boy appeared to be linked to a lower quality of life, compared to giving birth to a girl."

"The researchers also found that even if the woman did not have PND, giving birth to a boy appeared to be linked to a lower quality of life, compared to giving birth to a girl."

I really am shocked by this.....am i missing out and having a lower quality of life because I am having a second boy???

I've had G, B, B, G - so I started well, went downhill, slid even further downhill but has all ended happily

ive 2 boys..1st ds i had a hard time but that was to do with my age and the fact my ex was useless.
my life is 100% differant now ive a ds2 now im married have a home of my own a wonderful DH who is like a 2nd mum to the 2 boys so my quality of life isnt worse it got better with the addition of more boys

PureAsTheColdDrivenSnow "apparently PND is more common among mothers of boys (says my PND counsellor)"

Probably because we all get so fed up with everyone asking us if we are going to try for a girl next, and acting like a second / third / fourth ds is some sort of terrible affliction instead of a blessing and a joy!!
