To have, or not to have another baby?

Question

I have 4 boys and am CONTEMPLATING trying once more for our much desired daughter. Does anyone know the statistics / chance of me having a girl 5th time round are???

Answer 1

If you will be disappointed with another boy then don't do it. I have a boy and really wanted a girl next so I researched "choosing baby's s*x" on the internet and changed my diet to help me conceive a girl. Now I have a 10 month old daughter. There are no guarantees though so don't take the risk if you're not willing to love the baby no matter what.

If you and your husband are caffeine drinkers, you are more likely to have boys. Some woman are naturally prone to having girls due to the PH of their v****a suiting female sperm better. You can change your PH to suit female sperm by cutting out caffeine (both of you), reduce sodium and potassium. Increase calcium and magnesium for a girl and have s*x earlier, a few days before ovulation as the female sperm live longer and will wait for the egg. Having s*x close to ovulation is more likely to produce a boy as they swim faster.

I simply started taking a magnesium and calcium supplement and got my girl.

My Nana had 3 boys and assumed she would never get a girl, but then she had 2 girls in a row, followed by another boy. I'm sure if you kept on having babies you would end up with a good mix. Those families with 17 children always have a mix.

Answer 2

Lol, well, I wouldn't get your hopes up.  They always say that the chances are 50/50....but I don't really buy that.  I think there are reasons some women end up with all the same.  I also have 4 boys and am pregnant with my 5th.  All of my kids have the same dad, so that being said....I expect this baby will also be a boy.  I wasn't trying for a girl because quite frankly, that would most likely be an exercise in futility.  If you want to have another baby, then go for it...but don't do it only to try to get a girl.  Your baby doesn't deserve the disappointment.  I just like to think that there is a plan for everything and I absolutely adore my boys and if the next one is another boy, I will love him every bit as much.  Good luck.

Answer 3

The same as when you had the boys.

Answer 4

it depends on your genetics. for example, u and ur hsband could be carrying just xx chromosomes for boys. it might be genetically imposible. just look at your family history, or look up genetics on googe or yahoo.

Answer 5

50%. males are coded as XY while girls are XX. every sperm carries the XY. the X of the male should be passed to make a female.

4 boys is many. but if you are really desperate and you can support 5 children in one time, technology is available for you to have 100% chance to have a baby girl.

Answer 6

If you must have another child, adopt please!  The world is overpopulated, I am sick of seeing more and more little kids around, and there are tons of kids in orphanages (LIKE THE GIRLS IN CHINA) who have NO ONE and are looking for a loving family.

Answer 7

google the Shettles method.

Some people I know swear by it.

Before you get pregnant, be ok with a boy. If you are going to be let down , don't even do it.

Answer 8

tell me, how is your s*x life after so many kids, please. thanks

Answer 9

The stats are against you on having a girl,  something like one in four.

Answer 10

Answer 11
