The sex of your baby -- chance, genetics or something else?
Purely as an element of chance, couples who conceive a child should have as much of a chance of conceiving a boy as a girl. And vice versa, of course.
But do some families really produce more boys than girls, or vice versa? If so, why?
This question arose during a discussion on one of my listservs about the odds on certain birthdays. I won't get into that here except to link to an article linked by one of the listserv members that takes a look at that question. If it intrigues you, go read it.
