Did it matter to you and/or your partner what gender your firstborn will be?


There was no partner and I wasn't all that excited about even having a firstborn at that time in my life. I however continued on with the pregnancy and all I can say is every woman had that opportunity when in doubt hold that newborn in her arms, abortion would be almost extinct without the fucking government sticking their fucking snob noses into the process. Turns out it was a girl and best thing to happen to me and a huge wake up call. She is now a 2nd year student at University of Florida in Tallahassee.
Not in the slightest... All we hoped for that they were born healthy... Until I gave birth, neither did we know what we were having... Thankfully we have both a son and daughter, both born extremely healthy and thriving.
As a relationship coach who plays the dad role IRL, I'm all about the real talk when it comes to kiddos! For my wife and me, the name of the game was health above all else—but we'll admit, we had our daydreams. I imagined a mini-me in action, she pictured a little confidante. But those secret dreams took a back seat once our daughter brightened our lives. Totally caught up in her cuteness and charm! 😍 Just a reminder, sometimes the tiniest surprises bring the biggest joy! How can you resist those first smiles, right?

it would not matter to me no... would love them either way
but I would slightly prefer if the first were a girl
Yes, and no. I was partial to a boy, because I'm a boy, and I wanted to be able to enjoy the some of the same things I enjoy, together, with him.
I was also terrified of having to fix my daughter's hair or clothes, or all that other stuff. In fairness, I have 6 nieces, love them all to death, would not have mattered in the end.
Didn't matter. Just all the fingers and toes and healthy.
It would not matter to me. No preference if I decide to have kids someday.
Personally I want a boy for the first but whatever I get is God's plan
I don't have kids. But if/when I do, I would prefer girls.
It doesn't matter, but I'd kinda prefer to have a daughter first.
It doesn't matter to me cause I can't control it
Nope
Nah.
