Are "girly" moms more likely to conceive girls???

[Dreamofpink]

This is such a good question & one that has been on my mind too. I always wanted a brother when I was little but I have a sister. She's always been the girliest out of us both but has no children yet. I was always being told that I should've been a boy as I was the first to climb up a tree, charge about the place, get dirty - you know all the usual stereotypical behaviour of boys, lol! I'm not into make-up, shoes & the only shopping I enjoy is a few hours peace in a large bookshop!

However, I think that for me there's a crossover with my personality & diet. I always ate well & regularly. I was never bothered about being slightly overweight & had never dieted in my life before LE!

The thing is though, I may not be girly but I am very maternal compared with my sister. My biological clock was ticking from when I was 21, but then I did meet DH aged 18. My sis has only recently settled down & she's 29. I'm very broody & where I don't necessarily think there's any correlation it's an interesting difference between us.

Not a girly girl at all previously, but as a PP said, I think DD has brought out that side of me. I'm definitely more girly now than I was before having her.

I'm not so sure that for me personally the weight side of swaying factors in. When I fell pregnant with my ds1 I was at my smallest at 42kgs and my diet was certainly one that would make my body think times were tough(as per the pink sway),so by rights he should have been a she.

No matter what we figure out that sways things in the direction of our DG their will always be exceptions. The more I apply the Gender Dreaming mentality of swaying and gender to people around me the more it makes sense but I always see exceptions to any trend, that's just nature for you!

I only had time to read the original post so will read the comments later but I just wanted to say that I could have written quite a lot of it myself. I have three boys and I was and still am quite the tomboy. I really am a good all boy Mum candadite. But why then do I feel such a strong yearning and sadness at not ever having a daughter?

Mika- that's exactly what I think would happen if I had girls- I really think it would bring out my girly side (I just KNOW there's one in there lol!) and I think it would be so much fun!! I worry that being in a house full of testosterone I am becoming less and less girly
I have a sister so never longed for that, while I am close with her my personality is more like my brother's (I'm close with him too). Having both sibs made me want both genders really bad because I know how awesome it is to have had the best of both worlds.

I grew up with a Sis and Bro too. Having a mixed gendered family was what I always knew and I assumed I would always have and it is certainly what I always wanted.

I am so un-girlie it's not even funny!! I could care less what I wear, usually it's just jeans and some shirt I toss on. I rarely wear dresses, don't do my nails ever, only dye my hair to cover the greys starting to appear, only style it for work, wear make-up only if I go out (which is rare) or have a big meeting or interviews at work. I prefer man stuff (cars, camping, 4wding), prefer male friends. I do enjoy shopping but I find it therapeutic and love hunting for a bargain (competitive nature), not buying the latest fashion etc… like most women.

My girls are a lot like me, but they also like make-up and things that I don't. If anything having them has made me slightly more girlie! Mine has been diet and lifestyle, having so many so close together (poor maternal condition, 10 pregnancies in 9yrs) and possibly something genetic as my brothers are having all boys?? The girls in my family and extended family all have girls?? It's not weight related for me at all. Was super skinny with #1 and progressively fatter with each child.

I am also super obsessive and micro manage my entire life which is apparently a boy mum trait….god knows but I have a super strong feeling I will have girl #6 and never have a son no matter how drastically I have changed my life.

I think I am a girlie girl: I love makeup, dressing up, beauty treatments, beautiful objects, I was a ballet dancer when I was younger, I am naturally petite and slim ....and I am the mum of 3 boys!!! I still don't understand football rules nor cricket, I don't like mud and mess so I wouldn't say that I was born to be a boys mum lol
My husband kindly says that I have enough feminine touch to balance out our testosterone family but that's just making me want a DD even more. Hahaha!

I've often asked myself this question too! I am not at all girlie and I have six boys! It was a running family joke that I'd wear jeans or gym clothes to my wedding, and although I did wear a dress, it's almost the only time ever that I have! I don't wear make up or jewellery (except for a pandora bracelet) and I love footy, tattoos, and motocross and utes and Harley's! I am however a HUGE P!nk fan!!

I've never gotten along great with other girls/women but usually get along fine with males. Other women do not like me and I'm not a "girly wife" at all. I do long for a daughter though, who will understand some female things that guys just don't get, who I can dress up in cute girl outfits (although probably not dresses) and someone who will make an effort to remember my birthday! Here's hoping anyway.

I've probably become a little more girly as I've gotten older, and a daughter will probably bring more of that side out in me, or she will probably be a huge tomboy with me as her mum and six older brothers!

I really hope what I'm like doesn't influence what gender children we have, but the girly girls I know do have more girls and I do have six boys.

I am very girlie Girl and love to do girly things,i love pink
and have two Boys! when i was pg with ds2 People said to me,thats impossible another Boy?! you are so girly...haha

[sallygal]

I am very girly. Love make up, fashion and pretty things. I grew up playing with dolls constantly and loved all the girly stuff. I have three very boyish boys! In saying that I am also a strong, confident personality, quite sporty too. Perhaps that is the testosterone coming out? Who knows really??!!
