Ok this whole girl boy scenerio. The gender of a child is determined at conception.
You can pray all you like all the way through pregnancy, but I doubt very
much that if a girl was conceived, that God will pander to anyone’s whim and
change it to a boy half way through the pregnancy.
I believe God knows us from the point of conception. He is hardly going to
change the gender of a baby He knows well, just to please the parents.
Maybe if you want to pray it should be before the pregnancy occurs. Not during,

- 1) I didn´t pray for a boy during the pregnancy. I prayed before but also during pregnancy before we had the confirmation of our baby´s gender;
- 2) Although I believe there are no impossibles to the Lord, I also think that, most likely, He will not change baby´s gender during it;
Oh and women are only capable of giving birth to girls. It’s the man who determines
the gender of a child. Women have X chromosomes which makes girls.
Men have both the X and Y chromosomes - if two X chromosomes come together it’s a
girl. If an X and a Y it’s a boy.
Oh and have a read at numbers chapter 27. Only daughters were left and they did not
want the family name to be wiped out.
So Moses inquired of God
God said this
Numbers 27:6-8 NKJV
[6] And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: [7] "The daughters of Zelophehad
speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance
among their father's brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father
to pass to them. [8] And you shall speak to the children of
Israel, saying: 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause
his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
It’s only a man made tradition that the male gets the name and inheritance.
So why would it matter if you only have girls. It does not bother God. Why
should it bother us.
I feel strongly about this because hundreds upon thousands of little
girls are aborted or abandoned across the world just because they are
Girls. Just to pander to tradition and the whim of parents who want boys.

I know all this also, sister. And I also agree it´s a terrible thing. Still, that´s has nothing to due with the reason why I prayed for a boy.
I wanted to add as well, that my elderly aunt has 4 sons.
She is now 83 and needs a lot of help with various age
related issues. She needs help with toileting, washing,
changing among other things.
None of her sons will do any of this for her.
Be careful what you wish for if you only want sons.
Oh I do it all in case wondered.

Can´t see what´s the point of your statement, sister. I have two aunts that refused to take care of my grandfather and my grandmother when they most needed. It was my father who, even suffering from a incapacitating disease, took care of them...! So, I believe each case is a case.
Also have a read of this, due to Koreans wanting boys and the
use of ultra sound to abort girls. More boys were born.
But then when it came to marriage there wasn’t enough ladies to
go around so men resorted to male order brides.

Potentially 112 million baby girls aborted in South Korea, China, India, other
Asian countries. Do you think God’s wants that. When will people learn to
value both girls and boys.
So many people aborted babies back then,” my aunt says. “A few months
in, when they could tell it was a girl, they’d get an abortion.”
In the 1990s, there were 116 boys born for every 100 girls in South Korea.
Gender imbalances at birth have also existed in other Asian countries
like China and India. According to some estimates, there would have
been 112 million more girls on the continent of Asia, had gender
selective abortion and infanticide not existed.
In South Korea, the consequences were seen years later when the
surviving boys grew up. There weren’t enough women to marry
in rural Korea — due to selected abortions and young, educated
women moving to the big cities — so men turned to foreign mail order brides.

Again, sister, I can´t see why you insist with this subject. I do not approve these kind of actions and I also think God doesn´t want them at all! I do think women and men have the same value. If one value both men and women the same way, does praying for a baby boy mean that one do not value women and vice-versa?
