The chances of having a boy baby are approximately 50%. Each pregnancy has a roughly equal probability of yielding a boy or a girl, dependent on whether the sperm carries an X (resulting in a girl) or Y (resulting in a boy) chromosome. Therefore, statistically, there is no significant difference in the likelihood of having a boy versus a girl.
