ok may seem weird and odd, may be a stupid question.

my mum has 4 girls (inc me) and no boys she has been pregnant a few times with boys but miscarried late in the pregnancy and never miscarried a girl.

only 2 of us sisters have children i have 1 girl (no boys) and my sister has 2 girls (...no boys lol)

**do you think it is possible that we (family from my mother) cannot have boys?**

i am pregnant and everyone (including me and partner) just assume its a girl lol!
i obviously didn't ask a question on here for idiots to just say thats stupid!
thanx 4 all the good answers i can nolw look forward to finding out if its a girl or a boy :)
does anybody know what the chances are of having a girl/boy?
 
Actually it is the father who decides the sex of the child, not you. You produce the X and the father of your child either makes the additional Y.... XY (boy) or the X.... XX (girl)
 
The sex of your baby is determined by the FATHER of the baby (the sperm) so has no connection with you or your female relations. You are just as likely (in fact a little bit more) to be carrying a boy as a girl.

If you're interested in knowing how/why, look up a simple genetics site on the Internet, or get a book from the library which explains about conception and chromosones.

It might be a bit exciting to get a boy this time - just think of the fuss to be made of him from your side of the family....
 
the gender has nothing to do with the mom it has to do with the sperm the dad send to the egg! its X and Y chromosomes

doesn't anyone take sex ed anymore?
 
No, it's definitely just a coincidence. The father passes on his x or y which determines the sex. It has nothing to do with family history or previous pregnancies.
 
Genetically it has nothing to do with the women.

The sex of a baby is determined solely by the male fertilizing the egg.
The ratio of girl babies is slightly higher due to the selection process in nature. Women are needed to bare children, and it takes more women to populate then men to fertilize.

Sorry to break up your theory, but its natural selection at its finest. All science peppered with coincidence.
 
It is the father's sperm that decides but I have heard of women not being able to carry boys. I'm not sure what was medically found, if anything or what the problem could possibly be but I have heard women say each time they were pregnant w/a boy, they miscarried. They just couldn't carry boys for some reason.
Ask your doctor, they'd be the only one w/a clue.
