Is it true? If your husbands family has mainly boys you will also have boys?

I have a little boy and am pregnant with baby no2. I would LOVEEEE to have a girl! Praying for one!! Obviously will be happy with anything as long as they’re healthy! But it would be so perfect to have one of each

So many people from husbands family keep saying to me that I will be having a boy as all of their side is mainly boys.

Anyone got any stories where this isn’t true? Is it just an old wives tale? 🥺🥺

It’s just a 50/50 chance unfortunately.

We have a daughter and my husbands one of two boys 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought this as almost everyone in my husbands family has had boys- he is 1 of 2, one cousin has had 2 boys, another cousin had a boy, another cousin has had 3 boys etc but I still had a little princess so there is a chance x

My husbands side only has boys, my first born is a girl :) x

I’ve never heard that before but it’s a 50/50 chance! 🤷‍♀️

Both mine and my husband’s families are mostly boys; I have 6 brothers, 2 sisters and my husband has 1 brother (not to mention all the extended family!) I have a LB and I am due a LG any day now 😉

I say it’s 50/50 cause , Men produce Y and X chromosome sperm, it’s which ever gets there first.

You can correlate any data if you look at it the right way. I see it as kind of like the “gender symptoms” it’ll fit 50% of the time x

If you're both in your early 20's then you're slightly more likely to have a boy than a girl (like 52/48%), but if you're both older (over 40) odds can go as low as a 1 in 3 chance of having a boy. I don't think there's much else that affects gender.
I'm an only girl with 2 brothers, we all had daughters & no sons.

Mainly boys on my partners side, he has a boy from a previous and we've been together 8 years now and have had 3 girls and now a little boy on the way

My dad has 2 brothers but here I am :) my mom has 1 sister. I have 1 brother. Think it's just 50/50! X

My partners side is all girls and we had a boy. There’s no logic to it, it’s a wives tale.

My partner has 5 brothers and we had a girl, very boy heavy on my dads side of the family too. It’s just pot luck! X
