if you had ONLY your DG, would you still sway the opposite?

[Pangea]

Yes definitely. I always wanted two boys and two girls and I always wanted to have a boy first. I was so jealous of my friends and cousins who had big brothers. So I was delighted when I found out that DS1 was a boy.
If I had two girls instead of two boys I would definitely be swaying for a boy, probably twice.

No. If I had a girl first, I wouldn't have been inclined to try for a boy or even another child.

No. I don't have the desire to have a boy the way I desperately wanted a girl.

For me if I had two girls instead of boys I would definitely still be here swaying for a boy. I always wanted at least one of each

[Bigwish]

If i had all girls, i don't think i would try for a boy, maybe only for my husband... But that purely hypothetical as i didn't know how nice and cute and adorable and heartstealing boys could be. If i had known that in advance i would sway my ass off!

I think that's why i have boys, to learn me prejudgements are stupid :-)

[onebigwish]

Yes i would. When i was young & single i knew that i wanted girls and boys but more prefered to have a boy first

[atomic sagebrush]

I think I already answered this but I wanted a boy DESPERATELY with my first. I used to get along a lot better with guys than girls and was actually pretty scared of having a girl at that point. I was so thrilled in the delivery room to hear "it's a boy". So yes I would have had just as bad a GD for a boy and maybe even worse, than I did for a girl.

Most definitely yes. My family could not be complete without at least one son.

I always dreamed of 2 boys & 2 girls but really expected ds1 to be a girl. Girls are just what we do on both sides of my family & out of 9 of us grandchildren only 2 are boys. I was so shocked to have a son first! If he'd been a girl that pressure that I've felt ever since (from myself only) would never have come into my life. I'd have been so much happier to accept whatever gender my subsequent children were. However, I do know that if ds1 had been a girl there's no way we'd be having a third child or even considering a fourth as DH has always been happy with 2, no more. So if this is the roundabout way to get my desired big family, I'm happy! Mind, I'm not sure I could ever come to terms with never having a DD but HT isn't an option for us. Only time will tell and I love being blessed with the children that we have, I feel so lucky to have them in our lives!

Yes! If i had had a girl first and had found out about swaying i would definitely have swayed to get a boy for number two. If i had had two girls i think it would depend on whether DH wanted a boy enough to go for 3.
