Moms expecting #4 after 3 of same gender ...Please answer

[melissalynay]

Hi mommas,

I am currently thinking about having another baby after three boys...Yes I know that there is a 50/50 chance but I have also seen that at 4 children their is an 87% chance that it will be mixed and only 6% that it will be 4 of the same gender. So I thought I would test this out as I have seen many moms to three of the same gender go on to produce the opposite gender. So if you would just humor me and vote in the poll so I can have ammo to give my hubby about trying just one more time...
Thanks

Here's hoping lol I've got 3 boys and finding out gender on Monday but OH has 5 boys altogether, in a row, so if u go by those stats it would be highly unlikely to have 5 boys but he's def got em lol I'm hoping I'll get to experience a daughter but I very much doubt it some men are more likely to just make one gender ps can u tell I'm trying not to set myself up for the disappointment I felt when I heard "it's a boy" last time. Hope u get u're girl Hun but I know it won't happen for me

Oh Angels3,
I hope that you come back on here and update me on Monday....knowing that it is possible to be in the 6% with all one gender, we have to believe the odds have to be on our-side one day....lol I am hoping you will hear pink on Monday as I understand what you feel. However if you do hear blue just remember you have beat the odds are in a rare group. Did you sway this time?

My mom had a boy first and then went on to have three girls. So, a bit opposite, but she did have both genders. Good luck!

 

[melissalynay]

Thank you....I guess your mom would count in the statistics since she was a mixed family of 4... Your input makes me feel a little better.

We have 3 girls and we find out monday what the fourth baby is. Praying for a boy

Hi mommas,

I am currently thinking about having another baby after three boys...Yes I know that there is a 50/50 chance but I have also seen that at 4 children their is an 87% chance that it will be mixed and only 6% that it will be 4 of the same gender. :

87 plus 6 is only 93... What happens in the other 7% of families?

 

[melissalynay]

87% percent is mixed gender families with 4 children, 6 % is all boys gender in 4 children and 7% is all girls gender in 4 children...This is not some exact science but I have noticed with 4 children it seems that the more odds you have for a mixed gender family.. Just something I read and was curious about.

 

[citymouse]

Before you had children of either gender, your odds were 6% of having all boys--but in any given pregnancy, they're 50%.

That said, my cousin had three boys and then a girl!

Hope you get a healthy, happy baby, and what a bonus if it's a girl!

We have three girls and would be over the moon to have a boy, but we aren't going to find out what this baby is. We found out with our third and it just wasn't the same excitement when she was born.

My FOB has 6 brothers and 1 sister

I have three sons. My hubby also has a boy there is nothing but boys on his side of the family and mine. out of 25 grandchildren on my side there is 20 boys and 5 girls. so when i went to myy gender scan we all knew that she would say its a boy. well gues what its a bb girl i almost choked when she told me i asked to please check again. we were in such shock. this will be the first grandaughter born in 16 years on my side and the first grandaughter ever on my hubbies so dont give up hope

 

[stickybean4]

angels 3 i felt the same until i got my bb girl after 3 boys

 

[3 girlies]

I'm having a boy after 3 girls & I did the same at my scan I was like " its a what? Can you check again?"

 

[melissalynay]

I really hope that I will get to experience that when I do get pregnant....I think they could tell me its a girl and I wouldn't believe it until birth.... Wow Born2bamum that takes a lot of resistance....I couldn't do it....Good luck to you and here is all my blue dust to you!!!

 

[Ginaerhol]

i have 3 girls and i have been told that i am having another girl...we really really wanted a boy but i got used to the idea of another girl now so i really dont mind. However OH wants to try for another baby in a few years but I am not so sure...we shall see when the time comes x

If you are in the US you can choose. I believe the company is called Microsort? They separate out the sperm and then inseminate you with your chosen gender. I believe only families with at least two of the same gender are eligible.

I have three boys ,I had a mc last dec it was too early to know whether we lost a baby boy or girl,but I'm happy to say were expecting again and its a ........GIRL
still cant quite believe it and I get into a hot sweat sometimes thinking what if they were wrong
Good luck to everyone I sincerely hope you get what you are wishing for FX

 

[melissalynay]

Congrats jx6.....I love hearing that you are getting a little lady...

Tazi88 the did offer microsort for a little while for clinical trials, however I did not know about it soon enough and the have discontinued it until a later date....Knowing the FDA is will be when I am 50 before this program gets approved.
