Genetics and baby gender??

Question

My hubbys parents had 3 boys. My parents had 2 girls. Curious to know if either of these things make it more likely for us to have girls or boys? Does the fathers side usually determine sex? Does anyone have any experience for example, their hubbys side always has boys etc? I'm sleepy so I'm not typing correctly or wording my sentences right 😂

Answer

The sperm always determines the sex of the baby because men have XY chromosomes and females are XX. Each sperm is either a X or Y chromosome

Answer

Sperm decides sex of baby. Either xx for boy or xy for girl. My husband's dad had 1 boy 2 girls. His grandpa has 5 boys and 1 girl. We currently have 2 boys and pregnant with a surprise.

Answer

My dad has 7 boys, 3 girls. His dad had 7 girls, 3 boys. Exact opposite.
My husband's dad had 3 boys, no girls, and his dad had one of each.
When we have kids, it could be anything!

Answer

lol, I'm sitting here trying to remember my bfs family tree to see if more girls or boys run in his family. I have a son from a previous relationship and I want a girl. not right away, but eventually. :)

Answer

The men decide. My husbands dad has three boys my husbands brother has 3 boys we got lucky we have a boy that's 2 and a little girl on the way.

Answer

It's all up to your mans little swimmers nothing to do with your family really.

Answer

It's determined by the father of the baby. My husbands dad had 4 girls and 2 boys, his dad had 12 girls and 1 boy! I'm guessing my husband and I will have some girls (;

Answer

My sister and I had girls first then a boy and she has another girl do I'm guessing when I get pregnant again it will be a girl

Answer

My mom had 2 girls, then a boy
Im having the same
But i was told men decide sex

Answer

It's a 50/50 chance of a boy/girl 
Even if someone had all of one sex, it doesn't mean anything to the next baby. 
As many have said, it's the sperm that determines the sex.
