Did you know:

1) You have to be a more fertile couple to have a girl than to have a boy.

2) More male children are conceived than female, but their mortality rate is higher. That is to say that more males are miscarried/ die during infancy.

Basically, what I'm saying is that the healthier you and your partner are, the better your chances are of having a healthy child, and you may stack the odds in your favour of having a girl.

Your doctor should be able to give you more information about what you should and shouldn't do before you stop using contraceptives.

I'd also say talk to your mother, and sisters if you have any who are already parents. It may give you an idea of any complications you may be predisposed to during pregnancy and an idea of how long you're likely to be trying before you conceive.

But then again.....I don't have kids, so what do I know?!
