Is it even possible to have a girl after 2 boys?

She said the biggest thing is truly letting things go. Meaning the things that used to bother her that didn't really amount to much, she just changed her attitude. If it wasn't a true necessity or could potentially cause harm, she let it go. That stuck with me. She also led a classic LE lifestyle, which was very different from when she had her boys.

GL to you if you end up swaying for a third!

Thank you, I agree about letting go of things. I feel I have been doing that by default these days but it certainly helps to be reminded. Best of luck to you, I hope you get to add a pink bear!

But it certainly is possible and I know that the other mama didn't sway at all for her girl. Just got lucky! Don't get yourself down. Tons of those three boy moms know nothing of swaying, you are one step ahead of the game :)

Thank you, it gives me hope!

So much so in fact that I was not willing to take the chance but that was taken out of my hands (I still can't believe it but 20wk scan confirmed it) and I can only put it down to the changes we both made in our diet and that is all thanks to this site. I feel ashamed to say I found 'Gender Dreaming' in hospital, after the birth of my beautiful DS2, googling 'how to choose the sex of my baby' and whilst I feel terribly bad (that does not even begin to explain my feelings because DS2 is beyond perfect, to me) about that now I'm so glad I did because even though we were planning HT it was all the advice written up so perfectly by Atomic that made me think I should at least see if I could do LE incase HT didn't work. Here I am :-)))

And yes, everyone says oh it will be another boy (we aren't telling anyone because quite frankly I'm still annoyed with quite a few close members of my family who expressed their disappointment at the the birth of DS2 a little too openly for my appreciation!!) because everyone I know who has 2 boys goes on to have 3 blah blah blah so I just smile and nod and think you very, very, silly woman. Ok......I'm thinking far worse names than that but will keep it nice on here :-)) And whilst I know of a few people with 3 of 'both sexes', in the wonderful court I live in 2 other families have 2 boys and then a girl and I will make it 3! So yes plenty of people do and so can you :-))))

I'm sorry you got those comments with DS2. I got those, too. I bet it feels good to have a sweet little secret, I feel like I wouldn't want to share it with certain people either.

Hugs pinkbean, sorry you're feeling low:(

Thank you! I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I know the wait is hard!

Yep, it's definitely possible - I have BBG. I was SURE I was going to have another boy after my first two, but we ended up having a girl.

All the best!

I wonder this myself (a lot). I look at the makeup of families of three everywhere I go and most people seem to have a mix, whether its a pigeon pair plus one, or two of a kind plus one opposite. It's pretty rare to see a mom with three of a kind. If I do see a mom of three of a kind, their fourth is almost always an opposite. I've only seen a mom of four young boys once, and I have to say it was it was actually an enviably adorable, well-behaved little family.

I don't think anyone would be here if they didn't think it was possible. I'm guessing you're just looking for reassurance. No one on this site is going to respond that it ISN'T possible.

Yes. I know it is possible. It was just after seeing a string of mommy bloggers that I DON'T EVEN KNOW announce they were expecting their 3rd boys. It was just another trigger for me. Also, I do know several women in real life who had 3 boys and were quite disappointed by it. I guess what I'm really worried about is that it may not be possible for me.

We all worry about that hun! We all fear the odds are against us and seeing someone else get their DG might cause us to not get what we want. But it doesn't work that way. I believe in swaying and we can tip the odds in our favour. Personally I don't think I can risk getting an opposite as this will very likely be our last baby, so we will try HT asap. Is that an option for you?

HT doesn't seem like it would ever be an option for us. If it was, I would absolutely do it to have a daughter but to me at this point it's about as likely as winning the lottery! Lol

Wishing you lots of success with the HT route!
