DH's very thin cousin... just found out she's having her 3rd girl.
A friend of mine, VERY heavy.. just found out she's having her 3rd girl.
I think it has to do with habits and changing your lifestyle.. which neither one did obviously. LOL :giggle:

I'm one of 4 girls
my DH has 2 half-brothers and 3 sisters
my grandma was one of 6 girls (and had 1 brother). Apparently all but one of her siblings had all boys!
only know one person with 3 boys - one of my colleagues
we are the only one among our friends to have 3 kids ( 4t on the way ) the rest all have 2 kids usually 1+1 but some wit 2 of same gender. I am however one of tree girls and hubby 1 of 3 boys.
I really believe our 4th will also be a boy
I have two very close friends who have three boys each (one technically has four, she gave her oldest up for adoption when she was a teen).
My cousin has three boys (but went on to have a girl with a different mom for his fourth).
My aunt has three boys.
I dont think I know anyone IRL who has three girls. Most of my friends are either pairs of kids (two boys or two girls). I have one friend who found out she is getting a pigeon pair yesterday (has a girl, expecting a boy). But she is the odd ball in most of the people I know. It seems I know more same-gender than not. Frankly, my social circle is incredibly boy-heavy. I don't know why, it's not intentional...just seemed to have happened that way.
Two of my neighbors have 3 girls each. My aunt has 4 boys. My cousin has 3 boys. And my very good friend has 4 girls.
My mom is one of three girls.
My best friend from childhood is one of SIX girls.
One of my best friends now has four girls.
One of my cousins had four boys before finally having a girl.
And I will have given birth to three boys when this one is born. Because we're a large family, I have several acquaintances who have 3+ of one gender, and none (or fewer) of another.
Ouch Butterfly, I feel like your giggles :giggle: is laughing at people like me. I'm quite thin and had my 3rd girl BUT I DID change EVERYTHING. So "obviously" it isn't JUST "habits and changing your lifestyle" or we wouldn't have people whose sways didn't work. Sorry if I'm being overly sensitive here but really, your post doesn't come across as very kind hearted given how many people here sway and get opposites anyway. Habits and changing your lifestyle are all well and good but if it was that easy, no one would have GD. There's more to it than that.Quote:

I apologize for the giggles. I just decided to put her because she's a girl and she's cute! It wasn't my intention to laugh at them or anyone. If I would have put the cheerleader I guess it would have had an entirely different tone.Quote:

I have also learned that some women just have naturally over acidic vaginal environments and aren't aware of it. I have an ex boss who told me she had that problem and couldn't get pregnant naturally and had to go to high tech.
thanks to all you ladies for replying. i know it is 50/50 at the end of the day. I guess I didnt include older people I know who have 3 of the same, 2 of my aunties, my MIL, my colleague, my husbands friend/work colleauge, an ex-colleague - when I think of it like that there are quite a few so maybe I will be one to get an opposite. who knows. I really think that 3 of the same is special in itself anyway and have never felt sorry for anyone i have come across who has 3 of the same. in fact (before I was even pregnant with my first) I knew a lady who had her third boy and i thought how adorable they all were a little pack of boys, mates for life. Sometimes I do feel it is pressure from society that makes you desire the opposite gender rather than a true desire for it ourseleves.
I have 3 boys, my cousin has 3 boys, my friend just had her 2nd boy, my brother has 2 girls, my brother-in-law has twin boys.. The majority of my friends/family all have the same gender. Makes me nervous TTC a girl! :think:
