New Poll: Did You Have a Gender Preference During Pregnancy?

Many parents say all they want is a healthy baby—but if we’re being completely honest, did you secretly hope for a boy or a girl?

It’s a topic that can be surprisingly emotional. Some parents dream of having a daughter, while others imagine raising a son. For many, those feelings disappear the moment they meet their baby. Others say they genuinely had no preference at all.

As conversations around gender reveals, gender disappointment, and pregnancy expectations continue to grow, we’re curious to know what Canadian parents really think.

Be honest: During your last pregnancy, did you have a gender preference?

  • Yes, I was hoping for a boy
  • Yes, I was hoping for a girl
  • No, I truly didn’t care


Cast your vote and see how your experience compares with other parents across Canada. We’ll share the results in an upcoming data-driven article exploring whether most parents have a gender preference during pregnancy—or if “healthy baby” really is all that matters.
