BOY OR GIRL: IT DOES MATTER

July 23rd 2010 01:42
More and more couples are going overseas to use IVF technology to select the sex of their baby.

A Melbourne mother two weeks ago made headlines saying she would do the same.

Hi Mrs M,

It doesn't matter to me, it sounds clichéd, but as long as he/she is healthy, that's what's important to me.

Hi Tracy,

Healthy baby is the number 1 thing I think all parents want.

My cousin said she just wanted her son to be a good person when he grows up.

My uncle countered with, "he could be a good person and still end up as a bum on the street".

It can all get a bit crazy after a while.

Love & stuff

I think crazy is just the word for it.

I think mines a girl. Kman thinks its a boy. Neither of us 'wish' ither way, its like a running bet.

Of course now Im getting the ridiculous....'you popped out early....had no morning sickness....It must be a boy'

Who cares? Ive got a name picked for both.

But I'll tellya what we say in the horse industry, where gender disappiontment is VERY real and FINANCIALLY CRIPPLING (I have a stallion. He was supposed to be a girl)

Well for 2 out of my 3 boys I had morning sickness.

Everyone told me during my first pregnancy that I was having a boy, turns out it was a girl.

Blah to those theories. They drive me batty.

Do they do things to try ensure male horses are born?

Love & stuff

If they could, they would. Not every breed is allowed to use IVF and Im sure the minute it is legally allowed they will choose the sex. Its crucial - you base a 5 year business plan on either a foundation mare or stallion. You can pay thousands of dollars (I did) and wait on the edge of your seat for 11 months (I did) waiting for that perfect horse.....Only to have to try again.

I tried for SIX YEARS to get a little girl for my foundation mare. The last foal she had is the perfect bloodline, and she was damaged and I wont risk her life trying again. So, if I am going to go on I had to change my breeding plan to accomodate a stallion instead of a mare.

A few grand and five years later I have a beautiful registered arabian stallion, and lucky for me he's laid back and gentle instead of agressive and hyper (like his brothers) and now I cant believe I wanted a girl. I love my boy to bits. Yes I spend more but he also has a greater earning potential, so it all works out.

The day before I found out I was pregnant I was grooming and cuddling him and he suddenly looked at my tummy and zoomed his ears in like little antennas. He had a big nuzzle like, "Somethings in there!" Thats when I thought, it might be true.
