I asked two kids at school today and one is from 4 boys and one is from 6, then his mom had a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293136 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 07:17:23 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2293136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one boy but based on all of the families I know, I fully expect to have about a 70% chance of having another boy. I don't think there is any science behind this but it seems so much more common for families to have boys or girls, no idea why that could be. I don't think I'd have a preference if we have another but I know everyone else would like us to have a girl next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293108 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 06:44:49 +0000 creativemomma15 2293108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know quite a few families with all one gender: 4 boys, 5 boys, 3 girls, 7 girls... BUT my cousin had 2 boys first then 2 girls! It's so hard to know what would happen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293098 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 06:32:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 2293098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the people I know that have 3 kids had a boy &amp; a girl first. But I do know a family that had two boys &amp; then a girl - and another family that had two boys &amp; then two girls. So it does happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293083 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 05:43:08 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2293083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked this up last night. My husband is three boys but anyone else I know with more than two has different genders.</p> <p>According to the study I found, if you have two of the same sex you have a 46% chance of the third being the opposite (so a little lower, but not a ton) and a 54% chance of the fourth being the opposite (so higher with the fourth which I found interesting!)</p> <p>What are the chances of a fourth baby ;)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293082 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 05:39:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2293082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wah I am hoping #3 is a boy if we have a third!</p> <p>I have two older brothers. DH is from a family of 3 boys. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293069 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 02:40:42 +0000 Bubbles 2293069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only on #2, but I am one of 4 girls and Dh is one of 3 boys.

I know a ton of 3-boy families. I know of a 7 child family (5 boy, 2 girls) and a 10 child family (8 boys, 2 girls). I only know of 2 "girly" families - one with 4 girls and one with 4 girls and a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293036 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 23:19:01 +0000 lamariniere 2293036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have two (b/g) but my DH is one of 3 boys, in my mom's family there were 6 girls followed by 2 boys and in my dad's family there were 4 boys followed by 1 girl. IRL, I know one family with 3 girls and another with 5 girls. Seems like there could be some truth to the studies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293035 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 23:17:09 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2293035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not me, but in my circle we have:</p> <p>Girl girl girl boy x 2<br /> Boy boy boy boy boy<br /> Boy boy boy girl<br /> Girl girl girl x 2<br /> Boy boy boy</p> <p>And several where there is boy girl boy boy or something like that, but the first two happen to be different sexes. One family that had a boy then several girls and one more boy last. </p> <p>I still feel like it's 50/50 though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293031 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 22:51:06 +0000 Ginabean3 2293031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my family it goes girl-girl-boy.My parents basically had my brother in hopes of having a boy. My mom is one of 3 sisters and my dad is one of 4 brothers. I currently have 2 girls and we are hoping to have a third child in the next couple of years and I'm kinda hoping it's another girl. Since I know the drill with girls now. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293019 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 22:05:09 +0000 Navy_Mommy 2293019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnant with boy#3 here. </p> <p>In my group of friends and family members they either start with 1 of each or have all the same. I don't know anyone IRL that had two boys then a girl or two girls then a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293011 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:52:26 +0000 Mrs. J 2293011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two boys, but I am one of three—two girls and then a boy.

That's crazy. I know someone with 6 daughters and no boys.</p> <p>Obviously, like I said, it does happen. I just think in general it would be less common if more people had bigger families these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2293001 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:36:00 +0000 sera_87 2293001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will have 3 boys come January. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2292988 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:25:05 +0000 ladybee 2292988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: well 4 kids is not an option over here. If we do 3, we will be done. </p> <p>Sounds like everyone has different experiences which makes me feel like there is hope if we ever decide to have a third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2292985 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:22:31 +0000 Mamasig 2292985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: you will have to pick me up off the floor if I have a girl. I'm pretty sure we just make boys. </p> <p>Now I have heard of some people (like my MIL) who had 3 sons and the 4th was a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2292981 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:18:35 +0000 Pancakes 2292981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I only have 2 (girls) for now, but I'm the oldest of 4 kids. In my family, it went girl, girl, boy, girl. Maybe that gives you hope :happy:</p> <p>ETA: My mom's family was girl, girl, boy, boy, boy, girl. My dad's family was boy, boy, girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1/page/2#post-2292977 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:16:42 +0000 Mamasig 2292977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my personal theory - if you're 1st two is the same sex (same father) then so will your third. This is the case with probably 80% of the people I know. So I'm preparing myself that #3 is also a boy :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1#post-2292973 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:10:55 +0000 jape14 2292973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family (4 kids - I'm the oldest) is girl-girl-boy-girl. My mom's family growing up was the same. My husband is one of three boys. We have one boy so far but I'm totally prepared to have all boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1#post-2292967 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:06:03 +0000 skipra 2292967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 boys and would be shocked to ever have a girl even if we had 10 more kids. Based on my family alone it is rare to have 2 of the same followed by the opposite but I can think of several with 3+ of the same sex in a row. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-2-kids-1#post-2292962 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:02:24 +0000 rattles 2292962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two girls so far, but I'm the oldest of five and our order was:<br /> girl-girl-boy-girl-boy.
