Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

The other post on how to make a girl got me thinking - do alot of people really care about whether they have a boy or a girl?

In all honesty, before I had Jack I always saw myself having a girl and thought I wanted one. Now that I have a son I don't care if I have five more boys - as long as they are all healthy. It could also be that I've known alot of pregnancy losses so maybe that has to do with just wanting a healthy baby.

If I have another boy I will be so happy to give Jack a little brother. If I have a little girl I will be just as excited since me and my mother are so close - I would like to have that bond as well!

Just curious to see - and wanted to do a poll so that no one feels they have to answer with a remark! Chat Icon

not a single care. I see benefits to both. 2 boys or a boy and a girl.

No, I honestly don't care, as you said I just want a healthy child. But, I can't imagine having boys since having a daughter, but I will welcome a boy if that's what happens!

Yes, I do care now.

Before I was PG with DS, I only wanted boys. I was thrilled with DS. Then the "girly" side of me realized I wanted little girl outfits. So I started to want a girl for baby #2.

Now, with DS' diagnostic, I really want a girl. Her chance to have the same diagnostic would be much smaller.

Re: Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

Before I had kids, I wanted at least one of each and was really scared of the possibility of ending up with 3 of one sex (particularly boys). But now that I have DD, I can honestly say, I don't care. I love having a girl so another would be great. Plus, she would get a sister, which I never had. On the other hand, I would love a boy too and I know DH really wants his opportunity to have a son. Either way, I will be blessed!

Re: Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

I'll be honest, when I was pregnant with #2 I was secretly hoping for another girl. I have a sister and I know what that's like. Also, my DH is one of three boys, so neither of us knew what it was like to have a "mixed-gender" house. I know this makes no sense, but I'm not particularly girly, yet I LOVE girls' stuff--clothes, toys, hair clips, etc. I come from a family almost entirely made up of women. Plus, I'm afraid of miniature penises! Chat Icon

For #3--I honestly don't care. Maybe the miscarriage took away any desire other than that of a healthy baby. I would be over the moon with three girls; yet, I would love to see my DH with a son--and I always have this fantasy of my imaginary teenage son and his friends playing basketball in my driveway just being "guys." Also, I'd have another pair of hands to kill spiders when DH isn't around!! Chat Icon

Re: Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

I kind of would like to have a little girl to have the experience of one of each, but because I have a boy, I also would love for him to have a brother.

SO I guess either way I'd be thrilled!

I don't care at all....I kind of always pictured myself with boys. But after having a m/c I will honestly be 100% happy with a healthy baby, regardless of sex.

Re: Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

we wanted a boy with #1 and got josh. then yes we both wanted a girl for #2 but when i found out we were having another boy i wasn't "disappointed" at all. i'm soooo excited that josh will have a brother so close in age. i'm an only child so i think that is so amazing for them. as a bonus i saved a huge amount of money not having to redo the nursery or buy clothing. Chat Icon

either way i just prayed my dc will be healthy, especially with the issues my ds has.

Re: Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

I care but not really...

I care because if I have a boy then we'll HAVE to move to a bigger place which means fixing up and selling and then buying... because we're in a 2 bedroom and that would only work for a few years, so another girl would be preferrable at this point.

That said, I've always wanted a mama's boy. Chat Icon

but right now I have a mama's girl and I love every second! Chat Icon

Re: Do you care what sex your next DC will be with poll

I don't care...I had a girl first and honestly I got my want of having a girl "out of my system"...I always imagined myself with a girl, and now that I have one I can't wait to honestly have a boy, I'd love to have one of each!

I agree, I lean more towards wanting all boys. But then there is a part of me that wants the little girl so either way I'll be happy Chat Icon

nope...Of course it would be nice to have a girl next since i have a boy now, but i do love having a boy and would love to have a brother for DS too. Plus they would have to share a room and i have all of my DS clothes and toys, so it would be easier. Of course, i want healthy above all
