I had a miscarriage almost 4 years ago. Since then I have had two beautiful girls. I am now 9 weeks with my forth pregnancy. I will be happy with what ever God gives me and be very happy that it will be healthy, but whats the chances that this could be a little boy? I know that there is a 50/50 chance, but I would really like to have a boy. Is it a greater chance to be a boy? I cant wait to find out, I just not sure about the if you have this many girls or that many boys than chances are stuff. Any answeres are nice and I know that only an u/s or brith will tell, but I just wanted to know some chances. Thanks and I wish everyone that is pregnant to have happy and healthy pregnancies and babies!!!

I know its a 50/50 chance as I have already said. I just didnt know that if I had two girls already that that would make it more likly to turn out a girls or not. I has heard that the more of the same sex you have the greater the chance to have that sex again. I didnt know if there was any truth to that or not.

I went to tarot card reader, she told me I was pregnant with a boy and she was right {my pregnancy wasn't planned, I laught at her when she told me that, but week later I found out I was really pregnant - I got pregnant on birth control pills}. Also the old wives tales say that if you crave sweets in the beginning, it is a girl and if salty and sour foods, it is a boy.

Appart from the obtrusive gender X or Y sperm there are alot of alternative little components which could come into conceiving a woman or a boy. curiously it could have alot to do with the consistency of the cervix, notwithstanding if that's extra alkaline that's meant to be a extra popular atmosphere for female sperm and acidic is meant to choose boy sperm. in my view i think of you get what you get. i'm 22 weeks pregnant with my 5th newborn and we've 4 daughters and we do not know what we are having this time, and actually it does not project us. My mum is a million of 6 infants and out of those 6 purely 2 siblings have mixed genders. My mum had 2 females, one aunty had 4 boys yet another had 5 boys and the different sister had 4 females, and the different 2 the two had 2 boys and a million female. that's loopy yet there is not any way of absolutely everyone predicting what you have got. the only distinction with this being pregnant from my previous 4 is that my bump is extra out and much less rounded, yet in accordance to my ultrasound Tech that's because of the fact my placenta has shaped on the lower back and interior the midsection so bub has no the place to strengthen appart from to push forward. sturdy success yet be arranged for yet another boy a minimum of that way notwithstanding if that's you is purely not disenchanted and notwithstanding if that's a woman you would be over the moon. each and every newborn is a recent no count number what gender.

Nope, there is no way to figure out the odds. Also, just because you've had girls is no determination that the next will be a boy. A friend of mine had four girls and finally, and accidently, I might add on her 5th baby she ended up with a boy. Luck of the draw.
Sex of the baby is determined by the husband since he has that Y chromosome.
Looking though family history doesn't really tell you anything either, unless twins run in the family. Other than that, sex of the baby is pretty much a guessing game.

The number of previous pregnancies has no effect on the gender of this baby. It's all just a matter of whether an X or Y sperm reaches your egg first, strictly 50/50

Its not 49% its actually 50.5% - 51% There is a slightly higher incidence of boys born....at every age cohort, males are more likely to die.....so it's thought that 'Mother Nature' evens the odds by making more baby boys. But that is not a happy thought to dwell on....there are some men who make only one-sexed sperm...like Henry the 8th!
Good Luck....try the math board for statistical significance!

LOL you never know!! I have 4 sets of friends that have 3 kids
set # 1 had 2 girls first then they had a boy
sets #2 - 4 had 2 girls then had a 3rd girl
with the experience I've had I would say it is a girl, but you never know!!
Congratulations and good luck!!!!!!!!

It really is always a 50/50 chance. Try to remain open to either gender and not get too attached to one wish because you will get whatever you get, not neccessarily what you wish for. I hope your baby is healthy and you too.

actually, it's about a 49% chance of being a boy, the same as with any pregnancy. having already had two girls doesn't make any difference
