Anyone have a girl after 3 boys

MissMommyToYou

Hey there ladies just curious if anyone has had 3 boys and then had a girl maybe you guys can give me a little hope lol

DrillSergeantCat

I'm sure somewhere in the annals of time it has happened.

@missmommytoyou So, if we use statistics....

probability of boy vs girl is 0.5

When you have unrelated events (each instance does not directly effect the next - like a coin flip) you multiply the probabilities. 

The probability of a girl is 1-(0.5*0.5*0.5) = 0.875 

This means there is a 87.5% chance that the pattern boy, boy, boy, girl will happen. 

Or, alternatively 

This means there is a 12.5% chance that the pattern boy, boy, boy, boy will happen

All that being said - each instance is separate so individually it's a 50/50 chance. 

Good luck wither way!! Pray for healthy!

Nope.... boy #5 on the way and I couldn't be happier

We had 2 boys then a girl and waiting to see what this one will be. There's always a chance

kynbar5

I had boy, girl and 4 boys following. Not sure what you would need hope on. I always just hope for healthy babies and children. Good luck.

MissMommyToYou

There's a very good chance that if you had a daughter, she'd not want to be in ballet or play with dolls.

Thank you! I was just about to say that. Just because it's a girl doesn't mean she's going to be full-on pink and purple ruffles and bows, tutus, tiaras, glitter, barbies and dolls. That goes the same as all little boys aren't guaranteed to be athletic, messy, playing in the dirt outside, want to go hunting or fishing boys. Everyone is unique.

What OP is hoping for is what my mom hoped for, but I was a tomboy. I did some dance, but I was playing in the mud more.

Roughly 50% of women who have 3 boys and went on to have a 4th had a girl. That's how it works, a 50/50 shot each time.

MissMommyToYou

Well I guess I should say it like this I'm hoping for a girl so that I can dress her as girly as I want until she's able to make her own decisions (clothing wise) lol I guess because my mom had 5 girls I was expecting the same but I got the total opposite so now I just want to see a little pink in the house haha

You could just buy some pink polos for your sons.

This is horrible math!

If there are already 3 boys, the probability of #4 being a girl is 50%.

If there are no babies at all, the probability of boy, boy, boy, girl (in order) is 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 6.25%

If there are no babies at all, the probability of 3 boys and 1 girl, any order is 4 * (0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5) = 0.25

This all assumes that there are no multiples.

You won't win on this board OP. They will keep dissecting your posts regardless of what you say. And whatever you do, don't use the word GENDER when you mean to say sex.

I had 2 boys in my life, plus my husband so I was very happy when my daughter was born for the exact same reasons. I feel ya.

You could also dress your sons in frilly pink until they can make their own clothing choices.  Having all boys is no reason to not have all the sparkly pink things you want!

Latina211508

It will always be 50%. I'm pregnant with my fourth baby. My eldest is a boy, 2 girls and now pregnant with a boy. I really thought I would have another girl. My mom is actually the eldest of 7 girls.

Some people think that's child abuse.

Oh please....my brother wore pink clothes at home for the first year because my parents thought it was a waste of money to buy new baby clothes with the rate that babies outgrow them. Putting your boy in pink isn't abuse, it might get side eyed but a baby doesn't care what they're wearing.

I'm serious. Some people think it's child abuse. I think that's crazy, but that's our world.

Got it, I thought you were implying that you were one of those people who believed it to be child abuse. My bad. Any snark was intended for the morons who think putting a boy in something pink is child abuse.

I could tell you thought I was one of them. My cousin wore dresses until he was 3. It's not like babies have any idea what they're wearing. 

LillyClaire

My cousin actually has 4 boys.  They said they weren't trying for a girl this past time, but I would imagine they were hoping it was one.  But on the reverse side of things, my great-grandmother had three girls before she had a boy, so there is really no telling.

/shrug my two year old son loves to play kitchen, dress up and play with baby dolls. That's for about 10 minutes with sister (or by himself) then its off to play in the mud. I don't care what he plays with. He's worn pink plenty because he likes it. He even picked a tutu out to wear to the grocery store and I didn't have a heart attack.

My daughter likes to wear superman capes and tiaras at the same time. She's as likely to tussel with the boys and would never keep bows in her hair as an infant. Sex doesn't mean a whole lot except for the parents that first 6 months to a year. I mean, there is no harm in wanting to dress up a little girl in cute stuff. I just think its a lot of weight to put on a pregnancy that is 50/50 chances.

I had one girl and I am now expecting my next girl also.

There's nothing wrong in wanting your little girl to be pink and frilly. I try to dress my daughter that way for now until she can make her own decisions. I do think it's our job to teach them to be little ladies though. I can't wait :x

I heard if the woman is on top, its guaranteed to be a girl.

Wait, so you are pregnant and saying offensive things over on TTGP?! Why would you do that?

bikramlass

I'm allowed to contribute on any board I choose. Because YOU are offended by my comment does not mean it was offensive. There is a difference.

Corts

Some of these replies are just flat out obnoxious...
OP, the men are the one who determine the sex. If you have all boys the odds are good you will have another. There are ways to sway this in either direction based on time you ovulate, diet, pH balance ect. It's called the shettles method but obviously will do no good for you now. I hope you have your little girl one day. Good luck.

@corts the shettles method has been debunked, sorry. You are more likely to just flip a coin.

Telling someone that you aren't surprised that no one proposed to them because you think they lack charm/wit/whatever is downright mean, man. Also, posting on the TTC board (when you've never contributed there) in a manner consistent with stirring the pot is actually a violation of board etiquette. Its offensive because it shows a disrespect towards folks still trying to TTC. A pregnant lady that has never helped build the community does NOT belong on the TTC board. That's just disrespectful.

Actually, @bikramlass , it wasn't just me that found your posts on TTGP offensive. How many people have to find that type of thing offensive for it to "count"? Because I can guarantee you that I'm guessing its about 50 plus at this point.

If you had TTC'd there and built the community with support and positivity? I wouldn't care. However, you didn't and then you go on to insult and abuse members that are valued over on TTGP. That is NOT cool and needs to be addressed. Preferably an apology would be customary.

Pregnant ladies cannot post anywhere they like without consequences. You can really hurt someone with that kind of mentality. I suggest some sensitivity.

PrimRoseMama

Just in case you try to DD that oh-so-lovely comment directed at Lulu. She is a very sweet, loving person that supports many on a daily basis. What you said to her what uncalled for. @bikramlass

Thanks @Lulucooks. I forget this all starts with someone proposing. It does not surprise me at all that one has not been offered to someone with your...charm and elegance.

I found her posts on TTGP quite abrasive as well. I agree that it seemed like many people felt the same. I find her posts even more distasteful now finding out that she's actually pregnant and was stirring the pot over there.

PrimRoseMama

I find it quite sad that a pregnant lady would find it amusing to taunt, insult and abuse those trying to get pregnant. I mean, for some its painful enough. They don't need a pregnant woman telling them that their current family & future children are pitiful because it doesn't have a piece of paper to validate it. There is "public forums yo" and then there is mean-spirited taunting. I'll leave the audience reading to draw the conclusion which one happened on TTGP.

What's really comical is- She just posted in May 16 on a ramzi thread that we're all "mean" on this site and suggested the OP change sites to BC. Hypocritical much?

That's usually how it goes though. Usually the ones stomping their feet & screaming "be nice! GOD!" Are the first ones to thrown down with below the belt insults. You can almost tell which posters will go off the deep end this way.

MissMommyToYou

Well thanks for all of the replies even though some weren't directed at my question but never the less entertaining haha :P
