  • I was very happy when we discovered my wife was pregnant with our daughter. I wouldn't have been upset if it had turned out to be a boy, but my preference was for a girl.

    Girls can be challenging in their own way, but boys can be a total pain in the backside - I know, because I was one.

    Keep working on sorting your life out, and you might get your wish.

    However, I do think it would be unwise to get a wife or partner pregnant in the expectations of having a girl. You should only make this leap into the unknown if you are prepared to have and love a son.

    There are ways in which you can supposedly swing the odds in favor of one gender or the other. Some ideas in the links below. However, I have to say that, while I do wear close-fitting briefs (which supposedly favors female-producing sperm), I am absolutely certain that the semen that produced our daughter was released deep in my wife's vagina, and she did have an orgasm (both of which supposedly makes a boy more likely).

    You might be able to tilt the odds a little, but it remains a toss of a coin.
