Would you keep trying for one gender?

Question

So pregnant with our 3rd girl obviously I’m over the moon that we’ve manage to conceive a healthy baby and that we are having another little girl, but I am so desperately would love a boy in our family. So would you keep trying until you finally have the gender you’ve been hoping for? Even if your parents are dead against anymore kids 🙄 both me and husband want a boy some day.

Answer

I know someone who had EIGHT boys trying to have a girl. 😳
If you're going to be sad if you have a fourth girl then no I wouldn't try for any more. Unless the parents are being asked to help with childcare it's really none of their business if you have 4/5/50 kids.

Answer

I don’t mean to encourage you but my sister had 3 boys then she was debating weather to try again for a girl, she’s now got 4 boys and she’s pregnant with a little girl 😍 she’s so happy for her little princess.. so it is worth trying x

Answer

If you would be happy with 4 girls then sure. I had a friend who was one of 5 girls because the parents kept trying for a boy. All the girls were SUPER girly too.

Answer

I also have three girls! My oldest is 7, The other two are twins. They're 5. I wanted them all to be girls. However I knew that I eventually wanted a son. We decided to try last year for one last baby. I got pregnant in October. Being that we have all girls, we were kind of expecting another girl. Nope, our last baby is a boy! Had we stopped at 3, we wouldn't be having our son in july.

Answer

Totally up to you AND your husband. Unless your parents are having to care for them in some way, it should not be up to them. However, if you’re dead set on one gender, adoption may be a better option since you can guarantee the gender you prefer. Continuing to try for one gender doesn’t guarantee you will ever get it. I know a family that has 7 boys, never had a girl. Also, think about financial stability, how many kids you want AND how many you can truly afford. Good luck :) You are super blessed to have your babies. There are so many of us waiting on baby number one who wish we could be in your shoes.

Answer

I personally wouldn’t. I mean I already have one of each and this baby will be my tie breaker. You could end up pregnant with the same gender over and over. My sister has three girls and of course she wanted a boy but at some point you just have to be happy with what you got🤷🏻‍♀️.

Answer

My mom wanted a girl, she had 8kids before she finally got pregnant with me

Answer

If you want more children than get on it but. If you're just doing it to have a boy, I think it's a bit silly. What if you have 8 girls and then finally get a boy. Are you gonna be happy with this many kids? Are you gonna be able to afford it?
I have 3 girls. I wouldn't try for a boy even though I always wanted to have a son

Answer

Up to you. Girlfriend of mine wound up with 4 boys trying for a girl lol.

Answer

Up to you if you would be happy with another girl if it happened then go for it 😊
