Plan accordingly.

Umm... I thought the "decision" was made by the individual spermatozoa.

BS My grandmother was thin and had two sons. My sister is thin and had two sons. I was thin when I was having my kids and I had two sons and one daughter. I look around my neighborhood and see that this notion is 100% pure BS. No offense to Billorites, you just posted it, someone else spouted it. Plus, a lot of plump women have a lot of daughters.

For every 100 girls born to women under this weight there were only 98 boys.

Hardly a significant result. That could have happened by mere chance.

Recent research conducted by American scientists found a similar phenomenon in
animals, where female animals that had gone through a period of hunger or drought
were also found to give birth more to female young than male.

Apparently nature has found a way to produce more females when mortality
rises, as more females would be needed for the preservation of a species.

Well, I am expecting a baby in August. Maybe I won't even bother with the sonogram. I can look at myself in the mirror and know.... it is a boy!!!

Anecdotal evidence: my mom was very thin during her childbearing years and she had 9 boys.

Scientists believe that the reason is that boy babies tended to be bigger which make them harder for smaller women to give birth to.

Very misleading in this context. This would make it an issue of "delivery" not "conception."

Thin women are more likely to give birth to girls than boys, according to research carried out by an Italian scientist. .........

"The chances of giving birth to a girl are increased if the baby is conceived in the months between March and May," said Cagnacci, adding that in return babies conceived in the autumn were more likely to be boys.

RUH ROH................does this mean a child conceived in the fall to a skinny woman is transgendered??????

And thin women are more likely to weigh less (than fat women). Gads, and the day is just starting.
