_I want to hear your thoughts/opinions on choosing the sex of your baby. I recently read something related in the Love& Sex forums. Personally I think: Why choose? A healthy baby is [should be] what matters. /go!
I would not choose the sex of my baby. At least not with artificial methods. There is a pretty insecure method with the time span between having sex and ovulation. Female sperms are slower, but survive longer, male sperms are faster, but die sooner, so having sex a few days before ovulating it's more likely to be a girl, and having sex right on ovulation day, or the day after is more likely to become a boy. But it can always go wrong..... Anyway, I just don't want my bunch to be an all-girl or all boy-bunch. It should be kind of balanced. (I am one of 4 siblings, alternating girl-boy-girl-boy, I think that was perfect... but doesn't have to be that perfect)
_I've heard of that Kastenfrosch & I also understand what you mean, if my mother had a choice me & kid sister would have been males, now she says she wouldn't change it for the world -she has even mentioned that she can't imagine her life without her two girls- A baby is a gift, female or male.
I totally agree with that! One may have wishes before conception or birth, but in the end, probably most people love what they get, and can't imagine it being different. Imagine if parents are unhappy their whole lives about not getting the boy or girl they wanted, but just the opposite. Poor kid. He/She would be never fully accepted, and that is far from being healthy. And there are enough cultures on this planet where kids of a certain gender (mostly boys) are more wanted then others. My sympathy is with those kids, that had no choice in fulfilling their parents wish. And damn those cultures for being that way.
In the year sixtyfive sixtyfive you won't need no husband, won't need no wife, you'll pick your son, pick your daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube
No way would I choose the sex of my baby, that just seems wrong to me. I leave that up to Mother Nature.
