Hello

Has anyone had any experiences of not being able to carry the same sex baby?

Many thanks

I have heard of people not being able to carry a baby of a certain gender. Mine were too early and we didn't have any testing done so we didn't know the gender. I wish I could be more helpful.

It was never confirmed but my mum had numerous miscarriages before and after she had my sister, however had no problems carrying me or my sister and she thinks the babies she lost were boys. xx

I have heard that some women can only carry a certain sex.
It's something to do with the chromosomes.
Alsoo.. a girl i know. Her daughter was a certain blood type, and her body started to reject the baby. So she had to go to the docs every so often and have a certain injection.
Another woman also had her cervix sewn shut to stop miscarraiges! x x

I've heard of this too and it tends to be with boys.

With my uterine natutal killer cells I have more chance of rejecting a boy due to the y gene.
