Well, in the first place, there is usually not a connection between the gender of your first child and the gender of your second. In the second place, many people are saying that your chances are 50/50. In general this is true, but Some people have a predisposition that favors one or the other, and in some cases it is possible to skew the odds. Why do you care? Are you trying to influence the outcome for a prenancy yet to be consumated, or are you just trying to figure the odds on a fait accompi? Larry |

I think it's interesting, though, that before you have any children at all, and assuming you will at some point have two and only two, the odds of having children of different sexes are only one in three (about a third of folks with two children have two boys, about a third have two girls, about a third have one of each). Whereas if you've already had one baby, of either sex, your chance of having one of each after your next birth magically goes up to one in two :-) (Yes, I know why this happens. I just think it's cute. Humor me.) --Helen Well I got a boy first followed by a girl, so that went to plan. THEN I had 3 more boys! We really want another girl to finish, please God we wern't trying for a football team! -- Andrea mom of - Peter 7, Ellie 5, Alden 3, Joseph 21 mths & little munchie man Kamron 6 weeks weighing 13 lbs!

Once you've had a child of one gender, your chances of getting another of the same gender are *slighty* over 50% because there are some conditions out there (men with Y predominating sperm, women with acidic cervical mucous) that lead to families that tend strongly towards one gender or the other. But this is only a slight increase in probability. |
