@CanadianGamerMom I’ve heard that if you have 2 of the same sex your odds of continuing to have that sex increases with each pregnancy 🤷♀️ No clue if that has any validity, but I have three girls and am anticipating that this is girl number 4! I’ve personally been curious if there’s been any studies about some women not being able to carry certain sexes to term or maybe if certain male chromosomes automatically join incorrectly causing losses. TW** I’ve had two early losses and I wonder if they were boys. Maybe I can’t carry boys? Maybe something is wrong with DH’s Y chromosomes? DH’s brother also has 3 girls, no boys, so many it’s a family thing? I have so many questions!
@emjeve I have also wondered this! I've had 3 early losses and I always wonder if those may have been girls and for some reason issues with chromosomes or I can't carry...who knows but it's definitely interesting.
@emjeve that's really interesting! I wonder if there have been studies done. All of DH's cousins (except 1) have either all girls or all boys. It seems to come in waves, too. There were 6 girls born in a row, then 3 boys in a row within 2 years. Everyone is wondering which way way we'll go! *TW* I believe all the women have had losses too. I know losses are very common but every one of us in DH's generation has had at least one loss (all first pregnancies, too).
I’ll have three boys and my brother has three girls. Me & my brother, my H, and SIL all come from families with exactly even sexes so it’s interesting the way it shook out with our generation of offspring.
I also want to say I’m super excited about the number of moms with same sex kids. It’s easy to feel left out when everyone else seems to have a mix. So I for one am very happy to be here with you!
All so interesting! My SIL has four girls. Had 2 tried for a third and got twin girls! LOL! Now DH and I are having our second girl. I’ve always wondered if it’s a family thing! My siblings are boys and they are too young (ish) for kids yet so we’ll see how it shakes out for them, but we’re convinced my husbands side of the family has a “girls only” curse LOL
My husband has 4 brothers and 1 sister. (1 boy, 1 girl, then 4 boys in a row). I came from a family of 3 girls. Now on my husbands side there are 5 granddaughters and no grandsons! My sisters both had 1 of each. It’s so weird how it works out.
This is so interesting! My families are all pretty mixed with gender! My aunt has 3 girls and 1 boy, uncle has 1 boy and 1 girl, other aunt has 1 boy 1 girl, a cousin has 1 boy and 1 girl, other cousin has 1 girl, another cousin has 2 boys, and the last cousin with offspring has 1 girl and 2 boys. The one with 1 girl and 2 boys had a couple of tragic late losses that were both boys if I remember correctly.
My family is all mixed: each set of cousins is a mix of boys and girls. DH’s side has some cousins sets that are all boys, some that are all girls, and some that are mixed boys and girls. Since I’m pretty sure I’m not having a third child, so it’s all boys for me!
I only have aunts on my mom's side and only one aunt with three uncles on my dad's. Out of 9 biological cousins, there are only 2 boys, and none of my biological cousins have had kids yet. My grandparents and all my aunts and uncles also had girls first, if they had boys at all. I'm curious to see what mine is going to be.
My dad's side is 3/4 boys, my moms is 4/5 girls, her brother has 6/7 girls, and my maternal grandmas was 7/9 girls. None of our sibs have kids but any of our cousins with more than 1 kid has only the same gender - we are the weirdos with 1 of each, lol. What happened to the 50/50 probability, lol.
Any team green moms wavering? I want to be strong, but the anatomy scan is in 2 weeks and I'm considering breaking! Or maybe, like telling the tech and MW not to tell us what it is, but also not look away when they get to that part of the scan, and just try to interpret what we see ourselves, knowing full well that we might be wrong.
@Aerialmrs I’m not currently team green but have been before. Is this your first time in team green? I will say is that mentally committing wholeheartedly makes it much easier than letting yourself consider it. If you’ve never done it I’d say stay strong and go for it, such a fun surprise!
But if you’ve been down this road and want to know, that’s cool too.
@aerialmrs I’m team green (3rd time) and this one has definitely been the most tempting to find out. I don’t really have a reason for it but maybe so I can wrap my head around having a boy (if that’s what it is!). We have 2 girls so I feel like I know what I’m doing with girls - Boys are this uncharted territory for me!
@Aerialmrs I say hang in there then!! (If you can and want to of course.)
Being Team Green is really special. Finding out is great but holding out till D Day is unlike anything else. I hope you can wait it out! I don’t think you’ll regret it. Keep everyone guessing till the end!
@Aerialmrs this is my 4th time as Team Green and I love it! Hope you can resist the temptation- it’s really fun when all the Team Greeners deliver and finally get their reveal!
@Aerialmrs we were team green the first time and while I have loved knowing this time, it is such a fun experience not knowing. All the doctors and nurses are just as excited as you are to find out what it is. My husband was so excited about telling me that it was a boy. You can do it! If you tell them you don't want to know they will be so good about making sure you don't find out and I wouldn't want the uncertainty of what I might see on an ultrasound because I can barely make out hands and feet so I definitely don't know what I'm looking at.

Thanks all! The whole way along, I've been on the "don't care either way" bandwagon but now that I know I am somehow nervous about having a boy. But who knows, maybe I would have felt the same way if I found out it was a girl.
Woo-hoo! We went to our private scan today and found out we're having another girl! I'm pretty stoked that we don't have to buy a new wardrobe! Little miss definitely gave the tech a hard time and had her legs crossed most of the time. Plus I haven't been drinking near enough water (shame on me) so they couldn't get super clear photos but it was still so nice to see her with my husband!
Re: The Sex Thread
