For all those moms of larger mixed gender families

How many children have you had of one sex before you got the opposite sex?

Just wondering if there is any real sort of pattern, i note that a few moms have mixed families naturally anyway but often with a run of either boys or girls in the middle

There is a lady who has a blog called the marathon mum, she has 8 boys no girls!

Not encouraging... LOL :drama:

It's a little bit hard to say because usually when people have a long run and then get an opposite, they stop having kids.

I have 4 b 1 g
My husband's grandma had 5 b 1 g
My great grandma had 6 g, 2 b
I know a lady from IG who had a boy, then 6 girls, than 2 boys
And another lady who has 5 g 1 B.

The Duggars have a run of B/G, then a run of B, then a run of G.
Then there's the Arndt family which has the potential to make all of us break out in a cold sweat with a long run of boys, one daughter, and then another long run of boys Meet The Arndt Family (2010) - FamTeam.com

I do think there are a disproportionate number of runs than should be statistically expected in bigger families, that's something that could desperately use a study!!

Thanks girls, i didn't neccessarily mean like hugely large just anything over 3 really. Atomics do nothing sway go me thinking, is it abnormal anyway even if you do nothing to have a large number of one sex. Eg if 80% of moms with four or five kids go on to have an opposite it works to our advantage anyway.

Sounds strange but i like the percentages thing it makes me stress less, if the fact that i have three kids makes me more likely to get an opposite it stops me stressing so much about my sway. maybe slightly strange but may help lower t levels lol.

i noticed a few moms with five kids on here swaying girl but already had a girl in the mix anyway just surrounded by boys in a run.

There was a mom on the tele over here a year or so ago - 8 boys and wanting a girl but she had had a girl (as in conceived a girl) but unfortunately she was born with a problem i think and sadly didn't make it. So although she did have 8 she'd statistically had a girl (must have been worse for her though to want something so badly she's already had but had it taken away from her)

I had three boys then a girl then two more boys:flowerz:

I didn't sway for any of them apart from boy number 5 who was a failed very poor attempt at an ig sway. Since being on here I've noticed a lot of things I may have been doing in the past to unintentionally sway (such as losing weight before I got pregnant with my dd and using pre-seed with my younger boys etc)

thank you lucky i hope it works for you a second time

All with the same daddy-

BOY, BOY, GIRL, BOY, BOY, and GIRL we seem to have a pattern as my kids would say :)

I will have boy(5), girl (3), boy (1) and a girl on the way in December. My lifestyle/diet is very boy friendly. With my first daughter I was dieting and running a lot. This current pregnancy I followed the low everything diet.

Thanks girls

Seems comforting a little to know that massively long runs of boys are not that common still seems like a girl is impossible for me though
