how many people have had 2 sons and then a daughter??

[diddle]

I am pregnant with baby number 3, 2 ds's so far and we'd love a daughter (won't be at all dissapointed if its a boy either). now i'm not thick i know the chances are 50-50 but just wondered how many people have had a daughter after 2 boys, because i don't know any!

Me.

Me.

am sure i read that if you have 2 children of the same sex the probability of having a third of that same sex is 75%. however i may be totally wrong - just resonated as i have two boys and wondered what i'd be likely to have if i had a third.

i know families though with two boys and then a daughter and my bil is one of 5 - 4 boys and finally the long awaited girl.

good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

Lol Georgimama, How did you guess. Yes,she very nearly was an Octavia.

Doublebluff, no profile - as Georgiemama says, I'm a slacker and I'm too lazy to do one.

My mum!

But not me. Four boys here.

Snap! In exactly same boat, but too early to know. Debate on boys' names has already begun! (Being realistic - I read it was 86% another of same sex.) It wold be nice though ...

I have 2 boys (5,6) and a girl (aged 2), now expecting a boy.

PS We tried to have a girl, by conception before ovulation by a couple of days.

DH's mum and dad had two boys then a girl

Me. I have two older brothers.

Hubby is firstborn, then brother then sister.

I've got 2 ds' and then a little dd. it's a great combo. but 3 ds' would have been fab too.

Me too. I was a longed for dd after 2 ds's.

I now have 2 ds's and would dearly love if history could repeat itself to bring me a dd but it looks like there will be no more babies for me

my sister had 2 sons then 2 daughters and i had 2 daughters then 2 sons

ME - Ds 1 is 11
DS2 is nearly 8 years old
DD1 is 8 months old

I would like another, but now I feel it's complete

By the way, it is 50:50 each time, studies have shown.
But there will always be that 1 in 16 of us that have 4 of one or the other.

I have the opposite - 2 girls, then a boy (& then another boy )

2 boys then girl then boy

me 2 ds's now 14 and 12, then dd9 then ds nearly 2.

Me, my SIL, My Mum (but she was opposite, 2 girls than a boy)

Me! I have boys of 6 and 4 and a DD of 2. Pregnancy with DD was completely different, with much puking, but I still assumed she was a boy because DH is from a family that has only fathered boys for generations. Also I was irritated with people saying 'fingers crossed for a girl' every time they saw me, and was v defensive on behalf of my (I thought) unborn son.

When she emerged I was and even, before we noticed, uttered the words 'Hello, Oscar' to her.

as long as its the same partner, if you have 2 children of the same sex its about a 75-80% chance of the same sex third time round, there is scientific research behind this,

Sorry but where is the research behind that? I can't believe there is a 75-80% chance of having the same sex child again after 2 of the same sex. Please link to a proper scientific study with lots of people in it.

I had a dd and then 2 ds's, same father but we have now split up as of a month or 2 ago.

i had a boy and a girl

followed by 4 boys - same dad

It's not 50:50 though is it? I thought there were more boys than girls born so isn't it 51:49 (boys to girls)
I also thought that if you had 2 boys you were more likely to have another boy than having a third girl if you had 2 girls, but you are still more likely to have 3 girls than GGB.
Not as sure about the second 'fact' as I am about the first

1dilemma- you are right in your ratio of live births, however the sex of previous offspring has no sway on subsequent ones.
