Hellobee Boards

@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

ETA: My mom's family was girl, girl, boy, boy, boy, girl. My dad's family was boy, boy, girl.

@catomd00: holy cow!! That's crazy. I know someone with 6 daughters and no boys.

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.

Pregnant with boy#3 here.

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.

Not me, but in my circle we have:

Girl girl girl boy x 2
Boy boy boy boy boy
Boy boy boy girl
Girl girl girl x 2
Boy boy boy

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.

I still feel like it's 50/50 though!

Most bigger families I know lean heavily one way. 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.

I'm only on #2, but I am one of 4 girls and Dh is one of 3 boys. I have a friend who has 2 boys and a girl though!

I looked this up last night. My husband is three boys but anyone else I know with more than two has different genders.

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!)

What are the chances of a fourth baby ;)?

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
