Question:

Advice needed. Baby #3????

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

My husband and I have 2 little girls.

Summer turned 2 in June and Jessica is 6 months old.

Of course we both want a son but my husband wants to start trying now as we want our kids to be close in age.

I'm just not sure about a 3rd baby now as Summer and Jess are still so young and it could be another girl. We wouldn't mind if it was another girl but we(especially my hubby) want a baby boy.

Any advice?

  1. Well trying for a baby is something that yous should be doing together and yous need to mutually agree on the right time.  Although you may have completely different ideas this is where you need to talk about it and compromise with each other.  I appreciate your want for a boy but as you are already aware there is no guarantee although the odds are in your favour now that you have had 2 girls.

    Good Luck


  2. Do it doggy style. Old wives tale says having s*x that way will give you a boy

  3. i have a 2 year old a 3 year old and am pregnant with baby number 3 all of which are girls!!!!

    we would love a boy but whats ment to be will be i just tell my hubby that it takes a real man to make a princess!

    i would say it needs to be what you both want when you both want it but do remember that its your body and i expect like mine it needs a well needed rest.

    just remeber that and having little ones close together can cause problems in the following pregnancys as i well found out, maybe talk it throught with your husband and have a chat with a doctor about the risks to you at conceving now.

    all the best in what ever you both decide to do x

  4. it doesn't make any difference how long you leave it you still may have a girl...if you feel you both want another baby then go for it, if you are sure then wait until you are...i have had 4 boys aged 7, 4, nearly3 and 15 month old i also had a still born at 36 weeks who would be 6 in december this year if he had survived...i am also 26 weeks pregnant with another boy and if i fell pregnant after this one it wouldn't matter what amount of time we went, it would be what it would be and there is nothing we can do about it

  5. If you have any hesitation about going ahead and trying then you should wait. I'm going to guess you are the one who does the majority of childcare and you need to be fully up to having another baby in the house, especially with 2 so young.  

  6. Maybe try the shettles method, but Ive heard thats all BS so just a suggestion. Good Luck!!!

  7. Well i heard that there are a few remedies that you can try to have a certain s*x baby e.i diet.

  8. Google the shettles method.  If you are charting temps, according to him and try on the day of ovulation you increase your chance of having a boy.  We may try for a girl, I haven't decided yet.  It's not guaranteed but according to him and others, it helps tip the scales.


  9. you could use the chinese gender calender it worked with all my family! http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz...

  10. Its easy for your hubby to want the 3rd now so they are close together but lets face it he's at work all day. However, if you decide you want a boy you need to eat and drink alkali's, nothing acid.

  11. try when you are ready. they normally recomend a year between babies. nature will take its course and unless you have gender selection done you dont have a choice on the s*x! good luck
