This quote is classic....

"I'd have been really depressed giving birth to a man."
judy, Liverpool, England

I suffered very bad PND with my first child, a girl. Yet, I only suffered mild baby blues with my second child, who was a boy.

I can't say it's not true, but personally I feel that it's more to do with past issues, socioeconomics and life changes that come with a new baby etc.
