I noticed that too when I first joined this site, everyone seemed to want girls. IRL I didnt know anyone with all boys like me so it was lovely to find so many on here.
I got sucked in and started to obsess about a daughter. Even though I had desperatly wanted a boy with no 1 and 2 I got consumed with a dd. I never had any real preference for either but by the time i had 3 boys I thought I should be able to have a girl as well.
If I had 3 girls Im sure I would have been obsessing about a son. I think its just that the posters that are drawn here come because they dont have a balance. the site is only easy to find when you are looking.I started looking when I has a u/s of baby no 4 at 13 wks and stumbled on IG. I wanted a girl and I wanted to compare my u/s picture for clues. I found IG and i was hooked and relieved and im afraid to say obsessed.
The rising above forum shows how well it usually turns out, its just nice to share thougths and feeling with others along the way. As for those who do have both and prefer one or the other next time. I think thats normal and they all have their reasons. even if its practical things like space, economics etc. the experience of one child against another might sway your preference as well. My 3 boys are so different if I could choose to have another boy I know which one I would like him to favour, I only have one dd so I cant compare but I would like a dd to favour one of my sons iykwim.
I definatly dont think Ig has a downer on boys, I believe there are a lot of boy mums blessed with boys and loving them loads, they just want to be blessed with a girl as well. I think Gd is nothing to do with the children you have or the child you are carrying. Its about the child you want/expected to have. I doubt anyone thought they would be blessed with e.g 1,2,3,4,5, boys or 1.2.3.4.5 girls. why would they, its supposed to be 50/50
I hope it works out for you and you dont get sucked in, you will love whoever comes along. Nb I feel closest to my 2nd son, hes the one that likes shopping and dancing and is just so cool. he loves clothes and still does all the rough and tumble 'boy stuff' He ticks every box I ever had for a child and the others are right up there as well. youll see.
