Hi
I read somewhere that if you eat a vegetarian diet you are more likely to have a girl ( but I think its an old wives tale) Perhaps any veggies could answer this question.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've been a veggie since I was 12 and have 2 boys!!

I'm a veggie and my only child is a girl!

I was a veggie until I was pregnant and I started craving meat, especially chip shop pies and Mac Donalds:eek: :eek: :eek: . I had a girl!

I only have one child. I didn't really care if it was a boy or girl after enduring fertility treatment. I kept dreaming I was having a girl, right down to her hair and eye colour (complete opposite of mine) but everyone said I was carrying a boy. They were all wrong:D

I thought the male's sperm decided the sex of a child, so perhaps their diet is more important.

I had 2 girls and when I was expecting no3 I thought I wanted a boy but the nearer it got to my delivery date the more I didn't care.

When DD3 was born it was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives and it didn't matter a tiny bit what sex she was. She was a bit breathless when she was born and was whipped away for some oxygen and we really weren't sure what sex she was but all that mattered to us was our baby ok.

I worried that DH would feel a bit left out with all the females in the house and not having a son to take to football and all the boy things they do together but he does them with our daughters and TBH he loves all the kisses and cuddles and attention he gets from them. Looking back i'm glad we had another girl as she just seems to fit into the family perfectly and I don't know if i'd know how to dress a boy and play all the boy games after having 2 DD's.

I have 3 boys. A girl would have been nice, but that's not the reason I had a 3rd. I'd always said I wanted 4 children. What upset me was people saying that it was shame he hadn't been a girl. I can't believe some people are so insensitive. I loved my 3rd son as much as my first 2 - I think he's more of a mummy's boy. I feel more protective with him because I think some people assume i'd just kept trying until I got a girl. I was never disappointed he was a boy. My brother has 2 sons and so does my sister, so it was quite an expectation to produce a girl after all that. When I was pregnant with baby #4, I just assumed it was a boy - but again I got really sick of people saying that I must be hoping for a girl. I just told them I wanted a baby that was healthy. It's a cliche but it's true.

I'm very sorry about the loss of your daughter. You maybe would like to know what it was you'll have missed out on. I'm not suggesting for one minute that you want to replace her. It must be harder for you because you've already had a daughter, and it must have been heartbreaking to lose her. xx

I don't mean to sound rude but you should be fortunate that you have two children already and are able to have a third. If you do decide to go in for a third, as long as he/she is born healthy that is all that should matter I personally think.

I would be so happy if I could just have one child never mind worry about what sex it was. As I said I don't mean to sound rude.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do

Jackieb I know what you mean about other people. When I was pregnant with no3 people would constantly say to me I bet you're hoping for a boy and I would tell them it really doesn't matter to us as long as it's healthy.

One of my DH's friends has 3 boys and the youngest is a girl and he said to him "are you just going to keep going till you get your son, we kept going till I got my daughter". I was fuming when he told me this not just because he was treating his kids as a status symbol but also because he was working full time in a good job and she was claiming she was a single parent and claiming all the benefits she could and they had a new built house worth about 3 times what ours was worth thanks to all the tax payers. They were just willilng to spit out kids till he got what he wanted and let the tax payer pick up the bill.

hi all,

I suppose I am checking to see I am normal I would like to make our family a family of 5 as does DH but I would like to round off with a girl I love the boys but I would love to play barbies with my daughter.

You want to have girl so you can play Barbies? No gender stereotyping at all there...why not buy her a little kitchen and ironing board as well, so she knows her place right from the start! :rolleyes:

Stop slating the OP, she was just being honest. It's perfectly normal to have a preference for something, I'm sure everyone has a vision of their ideal life. The reality doesn't always match up but there is no harm in bringing out into the open what she is feeling.

One of my mother's friends refused to visit my mother when I was born for a month. She thought it was so unfair that she had 3 boys and my mother had just had her third girl (my mother already had 2 girls and 1 boy). At my mother's funeral 24 years later she reminded me of this story and how pleased she was that she now had a granddaughter. No one for one minute thought she didn't adore her boys, she was just being honest in her desire for more. My mother was also quite open with me that she wanted me to be a boy as she wanted to balance her family with 2 of each and she found boys easier. I didn't feel unloved, I thought it funny that I was awkward from day 1:D . My brother of course was my mother's favourite and her little soldier:rolleyes:

I have 2 boys and when I was pregnant with no. 2 thought I was having girl - probably just thought it would be nice to have one of each. Was not in the slightest bit disappointed that he was a boy though. Both my boys are mummy's boys too.

They are getting to the age though where they no longer want to come in town shopping (the not for food kind) - a girl would probably relish the idea.
