Honesty about gender desires

[WalkingBlind]

What it says really. When you start to go 3+ did you have really specific desires for a certain gender? It's just I have 2, a girl then a boy. Everyone keeps saying "ooh one of each so lucky" but I'd be happy to have another baby.... If I knew they would be a girl

I have no idea at all why I feel this way and obviously I could never garuntee it. How did you feel about genders moving into a bigger family (especially if you already have both)? Obviously health is all that really matters, but let's face it sometimes you really really want a certain gender.

I like having a single girl - I'm an only child of an only girl (out of 3) of an only child. I don't know know how to do more than one girl

I have three boys, and I'm happy with that, I find other people think that I'm not more than anything else and get constant comments, don't get me wrong it would have been nice for one out of the three to have been a girl but I've never felt disappointed when I found out each one was to be a boy, I feel like it's what was meant to be there's a reason for everything, I hope I'll have a couple of granddaughters in the very far future I can indulge in all the girly things with, for now I'm happy with cars football and fighting

I've got one son (oldest) and five girls. I sometimes wonder if he would have rather had at least one brother as 5 little sisters is quite a lot, but I think he's happy. He isn't particularly typically boyish (doesn't like sports, etc) and all the girls are really close.

I think it's better for DCs to be in mixed sex sibling groups.

Ime (admittedly anecdotal) large single sex groups become very stereotypically 'genderised' eg all fairy princesses or football.

I was lucky that my first 2 were different. I probably would have carried on until I had got what I wanted!

I would have a slight sex preference if we had another one but only because it might feel 'lopsided' otherwise.

How fortunate then that your last child wasn't the type you didnt want.

I have two (both boys) and my husband was genuinely disappointed when we found out number 3 is a boy as well.

I am sad that I won't get to do the girl things ( as gender typical as that is)

I cannot wait to meet this baby, to watch him grow and to see how his personality develops.

If we tried for a fourth I'm 100% certain it wi be a boy
