Random question I know, but I'm curious...this is a quick, very non scientific poll inspired by a study link posted on IG. Supposedly women born in feb-apr (north hemi, I think) have more girls but I don't understand the scientific speak used in the abstract. As a march baby wanting a girl, it would be nice if it were true.
Here's the link: "This study claims that mothers born in Feb - April are more likely to have a girl. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlu s&list_uids=10510576&query_hl=46&itool=pubmed_docs um"

June. My mom born in july has 2 g 1 b, stepmom born in May has 1 g, MIL born in Dec. has one g 1 b, grandma born in Jan had 2 B 1 G.
Sister born in Mar has a boy and grandma born in Feb had one boy.
My brother's girlfriend is an identical twin, born in Sept. on the exact same day obviously and one has a girl and one has a boy.
These articles are interesting because of what they tell us (that there may be some seasonal variation that our bodies pick up on and it may start as soon as we are even born or conceived and even more importantly, that fertility overall really DOES sway) but NO ONE should throw up their hands in despair and think that they are doomed to have only one gender because it simply isn't true...exhibit A, Michelle Duggar.
Here are a couple other interesting studies along these lines.
