Check out the gender selection kits - essentially it is based on timing as sb34 says. Someone suggested to check out: www.planbaby.com. We're going to try for a boy soon.

hermykne · 09/02/2003 13:08

you could do a web search for the chinese gender predicter - which works on your age at conception, and the year thus resulting in you picking the month to concieve.
three of my friends and me , all the same age , all conceived within 5 wks of each other and all had girls.

Chiccadum · 09/02/2003 13:48

To be honest sliverx2 I can't understand anyone trying to choose the gender of their baby, if you did follow all the advice to have a girl and had another boy would you always feel that your family is incomplete?

I would have like a boy initially but I have 2 very healthy very boisterous girls and can honestly say that I have never thought for one minute my family is incomplete without a son.

Someone I know has two girls and has said she is going to keep trying until she gets a boy, she makes it sound horrible, mainly because she says even if it takes 7 or 8 times.

I do hope tho following all the advice and what to eat and not to eat (don't try some of the chinese stuff BTW I hear it puts hair on your chest ).

Just so you know for future referenct, little girls are not always 'Sugar and Spice and all things nice'.

Good luck

I can empathise with you on this one sliverx2, am expecting our first which we know is a boy, and feel endlessly wistful for a girl (though am looking forward to baby irrespective!). I think as a woman, sometimes we want to have that closeness with a girl child which is a special bond. Am sure baby boy will be gorgeous but that doesn't stop me lingering by all the pink clothes in the shops and slightly envying all those mums and little girls I see out shopping together. Can only say "good luck" and give it a go, but enjoy whatever the outcome is!

Ok, just done it and it was right! Spooky.......

Chiccadum · 09/02/2003 16:38

I've just done it as well and it was right for both of mine.

Sam29 · 09/02/2003 16:39

ooh, this is weird isn't it? On what basis is it supposed to work?

breeze · 09/02/2003 17:02

I did it too and it was right. Weird

suedonim · 09/02/2003 17:03

I tried it and it was 50% correct. It had one of my 2 boys as a girl and one of my 2 girls as a boy.

aloha · 09/02/2003 17:25

I'm really not against trying for a baby of either gender, but I do wonder about this 'special bond'. I think you only have to read this site to realise that some people have horrible relationships with their mothers. I have a son and couldn't imagine being closer.

aloha · 09/02/2003 17:41

Also, would it be a problem if your princess turned out to be 100% tomboy or turned out to be a dungaree-wearing lesbian who loathes shopping? It has been known! Or, indeed, that your tough little boy turned out to be a gentle little flower? I do think the sexes are different - but not always that different. What does anyone else think?

Hilary · 09/02/2003 18:19

One right, one wrong for me!

eidsvold · 09/02/2003 18:26

Looks at her little girl and back to the chart - nope wrong for me!! said I would have a boy!!

eidsvold · 09/02/2003 18:29

although scarily enough - I want to try around Aug for another baby and it says if I get pregnant in August then it will be a boy!! Would not mind a pigeon pair but think other aspects might determine that I have a greater chance of a girl again. Not that I would care in the least.

lorne · 09/02/2003 18:30

I have one ds who I love very much. I do think little girls are lovely but so are boys. I would love another baby in the future but I honestly wouldn't care if it was a boy or girl. I would love either equally.I do know one person who is not keen on boys at all and far rathers girls. I think that is very sad as I don't think it makes any difference at all what sex they are. Everybody is different though and I suppose it would be a sad world if we were al the same. Hope you do get your little girl as it would be nice when you has 2 ds's already. All the best.

All four of my predictions were wrong!

tallulah · 09/02/2003 19:35

That link was spot on for all 4 of mine.

I only wanted girls & our 4th was a last try for a 2nd girl. He's now 11 & more feminine than my only dd. She's always been the one in tatty jeans & no amount of persuading can make her look like a girl! (He loves nice clothes, satins & velvets, ballet & girly stuff)

My only worry really is that once adult, ds seem to let go of their families while dd don't. I don't like the thought of being the MIL on the outside to 3 DIL & their children.

SoupDragon · 09/02/2003 20:07

That chart got both wrong for me!!

Enid · 09/02/2003 20:14

errr...according to that chart I should have two boys rather than the two pink ladies currently asleep upstairs.

Chinchilla · 09/02/2003 21:21

Sam29 - I have to disagree with you. I find that the bond with me and ds is amazingly special, and all the boy babies I know love their mums the best. It is well known that girls are often 'Daddy's girl'. Enjoy your baby boy when he arrives, it will be a special time, and would be whatever the sex. I know how you feel, as I was worried that I would not bond with the baby if it was a girl, because of my past relationship with my mum. I still worry about feelings for any future girls I may have, but I know that these will most probably be empty worries, because I am not my mum.

Anyway, boys' clothes can be sooo cute as well! Enjoy your baby, it is so wonderful. (guess who is getting broody!)

Chinchilla · 09/02/2003 21:23

PS I should have had a girl, according to my chart!

Eulalia · 09/02/2003 21:58

One was wrong, one right. I suppose you are supposed to put in the age you were when you conceived rather than the age you are now? If I put my age in now for both then that would make them both right.

JayTree · 09/02/2003 22:05

Wrong for me for dd1 but suggests that if we were fortunate to conceive this month it would be a girl...hmm... maybe I will sign off and go pay my dh some attention right now...
