 Topic: mc after boy?
Posted: 11 May 2008 at 6:21pm |

weird...this is in general cause its not really about mc and thought more people could answer here...just watching a doco (channel 72 ) on babies and it said stress and various other things could contribute to miscarriage and one of those was previously giving birth to a boy..what's that about?not heard that before..

Hmm can't say I've ever heard it before either, and it does sound like bollocks BUT now that I think about it, out of the friends that miscarried their second pregnancy ...and thinking about some of the ladies on here too, most ...if not all had boys first!
Still ...I think its a bit 'out there'.

I was of the understanding that the link between stress and miscarriage was unproven, research I've read suggests that in most cases the miscarriage is set up to be inevitable from the moment of conception due to an error in the chromosomes, and that the majority of the rest have medical causes such as incompetent cervix, blood type incompatibility etc. etc.

Thinking about it some more too, if having a boy is more stressful than having a girl, what about having multiples which are both physically and mentally more stressful?
And what about stress associated with premature babies, regardless of gender, and babies born with health problems, refluxy/colicky babies...
The more I think about it the more it sounds like a rubbish theory to me.

I do agree with Emma above, I've always been led to believe that if you miscarry it's due to foetal abnormalities ... and 'it's just not meant to be'.

they never said why it is one of those baby docos..this last one (channel 72 now) is saying you can have identical boy/girl twins in very very rare circumstances...hmmm interesting...yeah it just said stress and factors such as giving birth to a boy maybe be factors in mc...it didnt say why or because it was more stressful....i just wondered.. sounded weird to me..

Sounds very weird to me as I have 2 boys and a MC first when I was younger - and I am sure that was a girl.

I was watching the same doco too.. it's called "In the Womb" and is on the National Geographic channel. There is a double episode so it's on until 9:30pm then straight afterwards is another doco called Science of babies which is about the first year of a humans life.

I have heard that before. Its not that a boy is more stressful than a girl, its just you have a higher risk of miscarriage if you have just had a boy and then stress is a completely different factor. 2 seperate things that happen to be linked to the same thing if that makes sense. I don't know if its true or not but I have heard it before, maybe I've seen that same doco.
Same here Steph I love docos, always time me staying at my parents with good docos on sky.

It's right that you *can* in very rare circumstances have identical girl/boy twins, it's due to a chromosomal error, I can't remember the exact specifics but one or both are sterile and there are other genetic abnormalities associated with it as well.
I've seen the In the Womb: Twins and Triplets episode and it was amazing but haven't seen the original one.

I have heard a version this before myself but it was much different. It was that some women can only genetically carry girls after either having a boy or MCing a boy. Apparently it is to do with the body of the mother and how the body learns to "fend off" the DNA. Hence the higher rate of MC.
Will see if I can find some links.

I know, can you imagine quads! Crazy! I watched it when the gremlins were a few months old and it was amazing seeing the babies on the doco interacting in the womb and imagining my gremlins holding each others hands and kissing each other in utero.
Funnily enough I think our angel is a girl too, I always thought it was a boy till I had a dream a few weeks after the d and c and in it I "saw" her and she was a girl. I woke up feeling really peaceful.

I think from memory I have seen all of the in the womb doco's including the animal ones.
I'm sure they will replay them tomorrow morning so will watch it again then.

Funny, I felt from an early stage that my first baby was a boy, which I went onto lose. And from a very early stage again (first few weeks) I felt Rohann was a girl - which she was!
