Rumour has it that if you're the first child, and first daughter, of your family, your own first child will be a girl...

Rule of thumb ....
males sperms are fast swimmers they generally make to the egg first, usually within 24hours after intercourse.. so if you have sex during the time of ovulation... the chances for a boy is high (provided that you havnt been screwing with her atleast 4-6 days before her ovulation).
Female sperms are slower but stronger. take more than 24hours to reach the egg. so if you had sex with her about 2-3days before ovulation and stopped .. chances are it would probably be a girl cause the males sperms would have die by then.
Think about it ...
Been there done that .... $hit works !!
btw ... it doesnt work if she doesnt get her mens regularly.. she got to lay that egg !!
('',)
Peace !

The male sperm carries the genes that decide gender.
Female genes have 2 "x" chromosomes.
Male genes have an "x" and "y' chromosome.
During the cell division that creates the egg, the cells divide and leave one "x" chromosome. During the cell division that creates sperm, the genes split leaving some sperm with "x" chromosomes and some with "y" chromosomes. the gender of offspring is decided by the chromosome from the ONE sperm that joins with the egg to begin cell division to create a child.
In rare cases, an extra "x" chromosome will be incorporated in the child. this is permanent and is not curable because the gene error will be incorporated into every cell in the person. This will cause both female and male traits in the child. The child will be a boy, however because of the "y" chromosome.

Nope. I'm the first born daughter and my first child was a boy. Besides, the gender of a baby is controlled by the father. If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes your egg you'll have a girl and if a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes it you'll have a boy. Mother's have absolutely no contribution to that outcome because all eggs have X chromosomes.

I'm not sure. My mother was first born. She had a boy first. My brother, sister and I all had a girl child first. Only one brother had a boy first.
So I could see the argument making a bit of sense. But I don't think its an accurate predictor of what sex your child might be.

Nope, I am a firstborn daughter and the first child, but my firstborn was definately all boy!

No... and people who believe such a superstition obviously have no proper comprehension of anatomy--the male sperm that fertilizes a female oocyte will determine the resulting zygote's gender. Case closed. Now, moving on to more enjoyable conversation.
Firstly, there is no method outside of genetic engineering that will ensure the gender of your firstborn child. Secondly, the actual probability of your child being male versus the probability of your child being female is surprising.
Contrary to the simpleton concept of a fifty-fifty chance, male fetuses generally compose around 51% of births and females, 49%.
How could this be? The production of haploid sex cells by male sexual organs (called meiosis) produces an equal number of X (female) and Y (male) chromosome carrying cells.
However, it is possible (without being scientifically proven) that sperm carrying the Y (male) chromosome more frequently fertilize oocytes and result in pregnancies and births. Because Y chromosomes contain far fewer genes than X chromosomes, sperm carrying Y chromosomes may have a slightly reduced mass in comparison to their X chromosome counterparts. A Y chromosome sperm with less mass than an X chromosome sperm while possessing identical physical properties including flagellum that propel the sperm toward the oocyte, may result in slightly more male births. This is simply one of the possible explanations for this phenomenon.
Male embryos may be more prone to divide and form identical twins than female embryos. Also, male fetuses may, in general survive the birthing process at a higher rate than female fetuses. While I am uncertain of how true or untrue any of these claims may be, they all provide reasonable explanations for this anomaly.
What is certain is that your lineage, genealogy and family history will only affect your medical health in substantive and scientifically quantifiable ways. This superstition is simply that--a bogus myth debunked by any education in biological sciences.
Well, I am not a medical expert… I simply listened during my health, biology and anatomy classes.
Your question is not uncommon. By this I mean that countless other individuals are far less equipped to answer such questions and revert to superstition in order to disguise their lack of knowledge.
Proof of our culture’s pervasive stupidity can be seen most prominently in our educational system itself. Students all over our world are too dumb to live--quite frankly, they cannot be taught reasonable behavior.
From personal experience I can attest that health classes at secondary institutions of schooling amount to nothing more than convincing children that smoking actually kills people, drugs actually mutilate your body and mind and finally, that sex actually makes babies. Our teachers invest the primary portion of their time dispelling such outrageous myths and lies that even I could not believe what I heard.
Oh, for the love of--What is this world coming to?

Sorry, no. I was the first child of my family, and my firstborn was a boy.

No. My sister was the first child and is a girl, but she had a baby boy.

No because I am the first and only girl and I'm 32 weeks pregnant with a boy.
