a boy or a girl for your first child? i heard some of the guys prefer a boy for their first child, but for women they want a girl. for me, a boy or a girl will do, as long as my baby is healthy and okey.. how about you? do you have any reason for having a boy or a girlas your first child?

At first we wanted a boy to carry on my husbands last name (he is the only one left besides his 13 year old brother). But we found out we were having a girl and know i am happy it was a girl. Maybe we will have a boy next time.

Either or is fine with me, I'd like to have a daughter (which I do currently) so I can do girly things with her like shopping, play with makeup etc. I would like to have a son cause he can grow up to be the strong one or head of the family and also carry on the next generation.

I don't really know because I have 2 boys and I had my first when I was 19 so I didn't really think that much about it before I had him. I thought he was going to be a girl but I was kind of glad he was a boy. then when my second came along, I wanted him to be a boy because I already had a boy. I think I would still want to have boys because I have heard that they are easier!

For me it doesn't matter if my first child be a boy or a girl as far as it is healthy.Both are the symbol of my and my husband's love.He/she will be our life.It is the gods gift to us and we need to recieve it with both hands.

i think i want to have a baby boy..but as you said..a girl will do too..as long as they're in good shape..^_^ but i really think that having a baby boy will be more fun for a first timer..because its like having an extreme exercise..so when you get to have a baby girl for you second child..you will be used to it and it wont be as tiring as is was..^_^

any gender should do for me as long as the baby is healthy, and they are gifts from God after all.Though my husband prefered to have a boy, which we had when i gave birth. He was so happy then. hehehe He said why he likes to have a boy as a first baby so that when we have a girl the big brother could take care of his little sister. Well, makes sense to me. =)

For me also, as long as the baby is healthy and fit it's enough. My elder brother is a patiant of Cerebral Palacy and I have seen my parets pain for having a abnormal child. So I always pray to god that my child should be born normal. Ipersonally would prefer my first child to be girl because we didnt have any sisters in our generation.
