Résumé

It is common practice in France for parents to ask about the sex of their unborn child. The national ELFE cohort study indicates that only 1 in 10 couples do not ask to know. The most highly educated parents, those who already have children (and of different sexes), and those who regularly attend religious services less often ask to know the child’s sex during pregnancy. Conversely, very young parents, those with a sex preference, and those who have had multiple consultations and ultrasound scans ask more frequently.
