Re: Baby Girl
Solar you hear it all the time...my folks wanted a boy and then they had me...hehe...my mom had to take some nasty comments about me (as if she had anything to do with it)
I'd like a girl too..first or second doesn;t matter, but I;d like to have atleast one girl...gosh she'd be my princess!!! :D
Re: Baby Girl
I have told my story before how both of us wanted to have a girl the first time, and we had a son. But mashaAllah he's an apple of our eyes. Cant thank Allah enough to bless me with that little angle.
Yeah I wanted to have a girl for the reason of dressing her up and combing her hair. Making a pony tail etc. I hope this time its a girl.
Re: Baby Girl
Don't let it bother u...it's just a preference...i duno but perhaps more Pakistanis want a son first bcos culturally the "responsibilites" will be on him when he's older...so maybe they think it's better if u happen to have a son first, maybe...some ppl dream of having a daughter first and some a son...of course we all want healthy babies, and that's wot u pray for...but i don't see anything wrong in stating that u hope it's a girl or a boy. And no, it wudn't bother me if my family members prayed for me to have a certain gender, hey at least they're keeping me in their prayers :)
Re: Baby Girl
I think it stems from the responsibility ladder (older take care of younger ie boys of girls) as someone mentioned and also due to the fact that a big brother is more able to protect his sister than a younger can (though he can but many times due to maturity levels it is awkward).
In my family, i have the oldest sister. It doesn’t matter to me. I think it all boils down to girls being some innocent flower to be protected by a bigger personality (brother) be it in real life or is it to get education (girls get preferred over in education atleast in karachi what I witnessed in many families).
I am amazed PCG hasn’t started her usual crusades against this ALREADY! 
She always does on even minute things… 
Re: Baby Girl
I would want a girl cuz i think mother/daughter relationships is definitely one of the best. Plus I think daughters are more sensitive to parents needs emotionally as they get older.
Re: Baby Girl
That’s true, i’m the eldest but my bro who’s only 2 yrs younger, is protective of me and i guess since we’re close in age, i sometimes look to him as i wud an older brother (sometimes i hate it though, that he tries to “act” older hehe).
Re: Baby Girl
I always wanted a baby girl as well. When I found out that I was having a boy, I cried cause i really really wanted a girl. My coworkers would try to convince me that it was Ok to have boy and they are just as cute. But when I had him I was soooo happy I thought this is what I always wanted! He is the cutest baby boy I have ever seen and I feel that having a healthy baby is all that matters.
Re: Baby Girl
I think now a days its most trend not to have a baby ..especially when u have married recently , atleast for 3-5 years ......Just to settle down ..make sure that u too are comfortable with each other than to think about babies ...thn to think about to go for a baby girl or boy ....but whateve ....
there r so much other things to sort out in life ...other than having a baby ....that too of choice ....
Is anyone agree with meeee .....
i think many ...hmmmmmmmmmm
Re: Baby Girl
i don tknow if anyoen think like that or not .........
But really don t like babies espically in its initial stage .....
I don t know how people really bear him/her ..so small ..............
Isn t it funny to have a baby .......but its really really funny to meee ....
Re: Baby Girl
may be i am not mature yet to think about babies ........
Concentrates on studies baby , I know ....yaaa yaa i know
Re: Baby Girl
Sadaf …my daughter just turned 2…n i’m still only dreaming about doing her hair…she doesn’t let me crying
plus she’s a daddy’s girl …makes me think why i wanted a girl 
Re: Baby Girl
Sara: I know what you mean. I used to want a big brother but then I saw other big brothers and I thought if I had one, he'd just boss me around.
Last Knightess: Yes, I know the feeling. She'd be my little priincess, i'd spoil her rotten :D
Sadaf: I hope you have a girl too and above all I hope they're born healthy Insha-Allah. One of each is always good. If I had a boy, I think i'd want to do a ponytail on him and dress him up girly anyways. . . but I think hubby would make me feel guilty. . . lol.
KashmiriRaindrops: You're right. I should think of it that way, at least they're keeping me in their prayers.
Blitzkreig: In my family, i'm the oldest. My brother is four years younger than me and I protect him . . . even though I'm smaller than him and he can beat me up , he knows I can kick his @ss with just a look. :p
Kurianjani: That's what I've noticed too. At least in our generation . . . the boys tend to do their own thing and more often than not, it's the girls who are helping out their parents. I don't know if that's just in my family or what.
Neera: Awwe. MashaAllah. Congrats on your baby boy.
TwinBorn: I've been married three years this february MashaAllah. We're not planning on having a kid right now but it seems like everyone in my family is hoping it happens. My aunt even told me, when I find out you're pregnant, i'll be so happy you're finally STUCK. . . because they don't think i'm going to do it on my own. At this point, I don't think i'd know how to care for a child.. . although I suppose that's instinct but I'd be so afraid of messing up.
Afia: I think you should do your daughters hair while she's asleep. My grandmother used to do that to me. I have embarrasing pictures where my hair is so weird because she used to practice on me.
I wrote a lot. Oh well.

Depends upon the culture (remember you can have many subcultures in the western countries as well).
