I had always planned to get marry. I will next year and I've been thinking about what gender i would prefer to have as my first born child. I also wonder what my bf would say about this. So I would like to ask this question to all mylotters in applicable situation.

Honestly, it really doesn't bother me. I would like to have a least one boy and one girl. So, I don't really care which I have first. So long as it's a healthy baby, I'll definitely be a happy mother.

Hi hushi! I do plan on getting married in the future, and I've thought about my possible kids too :) In my family, a first born son is highly favored. But I'm a first born girl, and I don't really mind whether my first child would be a boy or a girl. As long as he or she is healthy and happy, I will love my baby!

We'll I see myself being married to the man I love not so near from now, maybe 5-6 years from now at the most. But I already have names I wanted my child to have. Excited I am, isn't? :) I would probably want to have a boy for my first kid, so he could protect and give much security to his younger siblings if luckily I can still have 1 or 2 more kids to follow. But having a girl as my eldest is not a problem for me at all.

i think for the first child gender is not so important.....as i thought of having 2 kids when my first kid was born it doesn't matter whether it is a boy or girl ...it was a girl but at the birth of my second kid i want a boy but luckily it was girl....when u think of having 2 kids then gender of first child is not so important....

Well first of all i want to tell you that we are lucky that we are blessed to be a mother and to give birth to a new life, i personally prefer a daughter, but to me my husband's interest is equally important to me and my child and his little fingures, hands, legs, smile will be most wanted to me and there it doesn't matter whether my child is girl or boy, it will be main to me that he / she is a part of me and the fruit of love of me and my beloved husband.

I believe that having a girl first would be get your better prepared for a future larger family. Girls from a younger age tend to express themselves emotionally than boys, this will give you more of a challenge in parenting but will help understand the needs for when you have a larger family. If you only plan to have one child, some believe a boy maybe better/easier since they may be less emotional but things will dramatically change once they start school. For me I always though I'd have a boy, but turned out a girl. but either is fine really for a first.

Before I had my children I wished to have a baby girl first and then a baby boy second that is after a few years. I would have been happy to have had twin girls. In my life though I had a baby boy first. It looked like he would be an only child. He was 12 years old when I had my disabled baby boy. Then two years after he was born my baby daughter was born. So I got my daughter eventually. I adore all three of my children. A disabled child is very delicate and has special needs. I love to see my little boys bright smile. I think that having a healthy baby is what I wanted when I was pregnant for the first time.

I want had girl because my mother had all ready grandson, so I think if I will have girl she will be happy and say she is now rally grandmother. And I have girl :) But I think if I will born boy was to by happy also. The most important think is baby health, that is parent want the most. But now I hope when I will be pregnant I wish have boy, I think most parent want have boy and girl dosen't matter which order And about you boyfriend , 90% of men want first boy, but when born girl they love her very much.

I am just 19 but when i get married and i wish to have kids then i would want to have a son and a daughter. It doesn't matter to me who's elder. I would also my wife's view into consideration. Then we would decide whom we want to have. I would tell her what what i want.

Oh my i've always prefer girls. The reason for this is that my mom is my inspirator and she only girls. Also i like she them in those pretty dresses and i love combing hair. When the get older and can understand it much easier to have girls talk than the mother and son talk. Although there are some women who finds no struggle in talking to their boys. A girl is easier to shop for than a boy in my country don't know about your country. Not that i hate boys i love them too but just not my first choice as a child.

My girlfriend and I are also planning to get married soon. And we've long planned that we prefer that our firstborn be a boy. We even have a name for him, well I only hope he'd be a boy. lol.

Best wishes in advance to you! I'm not planning to have babies yet but growing up the eldest of 4 girls, I've always dreamed of having an older brother. Someone to take care of me, protect me and be always there for me. I want my first born to be a boy. But what I also like is to have twins! A boy and girl. :)

Before you marry, and even while you are pregnant these questions of gender are in your thoughts, and mind. However when you first see your newborn child, and are holding it in your arms, the most important thoughts for you then, will be to count the fingers and toes, and to marvel at, and give thanks for the tiny, perfect ears, and nose. Then, you think about the gender, and the name you might be giving to your newborn child!

During my first trimester I was wishing for a boy. I said it would be better to have a boy as the eldest so he'll take care of his younger siblings someday. Right now, in the second trimester, many say that I will most likely have a baby girl. Now, I actually don't mind if it's a boy or a girl. What I wanted to wish and pray for is a healthy baby. I'm so excited right now. I can already feel it moving. Each day the kicks are getting stronger.
