There's a family with 3 girls and a family with 6 girls, then us with our 4 boys. This is in a town of only 300 people so it is fairly common.
In the next town over I've seen a fam. with 4 boys, a fam with 4 boys and one girl, and a fam. with 3 girls.
Also DH's grandma had 5 b and my great grandma had 6 girls.
I think in some cases it is harder for people with all girls to change things and get a boy because the reason they have girls may be biological/physical settings and not anything that can be changed (like, DH got kicked in the nuts in the 3rd grade and has lower sperm count as a result).Quote:

Lady Luck has her role to play.
Not only does lady luck have a role, she really has the final say!
I have two boys and when I look back on it I did many of the things they say result in boys. I drank a lot of V8 and ate a lot of salsa so there was lots of sodium in my diet. I ate a lot of bananas and avocadoes, high in potassium. For my second I conceived on O day.
But I was also thin, I conceived DS #1 maybe 5 days ahead of ovulation, so that would have favored a girl, I took cranberry for a UTI, and I ate yogurt every day so if I had had girls I probably would have looked back and said that's why.
Have you ever answered a question and realized that you answered it totally wrong? I just realized I know several people with 3 or more of the same sex. I wasn't think of people I grew up with in the church. I'm Catholic and a few of the other families were pretty large.
I don't know what I was thinking of when I answered before. I was pregnant then, so I'll blame pregnancy brain!:rofl:
I think most of the people I know who have 3 or more, are all the same gender. Really. I can think of 3 families on my street with 3 boys. Note to self: drink bottled water.
I no soooo many families with 3 boys in my older sons yr 6 families we r close with
In my middle mans yr just in his class alone there are 5 families with 3 boys
And other friends I have outside those families I know about 5 more families plus 2 families that went for the 4 th and both got girl
Girls of 3 or more I only no of
3 families with 3 girls .... It was ment to say
My best friend has 3 boys, my other good friend has 5 girls, & my great grandma was one of 6 girls. Other than that, everyone else I know only has 1 or 2 kids.
Most people I know stopped at two, and the majority of them had one of each. I have a friend with 3 boys and 1 girl, and since finding out this one is another boy I've had ladies at the boys nursery tell me they have 4 boys (which has put me off having another tbh!). Everyone in my family has had a boy and then a girl except for my mums parents who had 3 girls. On hubbies side there is a good mixture of gender too, his Dad had 4 children from his first marriage 2 boys and 2 girls, then had 2 boys in his second marriage. His mum has 3 sisters and 1 brother, and his Aunt has 2 boys and one girl.
Seems like everyone in the family is able to get a mixed family apart from me!
That's exactly how I feel mummypink! Only one in my family both sides to have 3 of a kind!!! Lucky me:/Quote:
