I'm curious to see how many pple made one. I didn't because my first was a girl. I have one brother who also had a girl first and one sister who married a kohen, otherwise everybody else made one, so far. Still have some single siblings and siblings who don't have any children yet  .

You're missing a few important options:
- No, my son was born by C
- No, I/my DH is a levy
Also, the cohen option should read I/DH is a cohen.
We didn't make one because DH is a levy.

I didn't know that babies born by c-section don't have one.
Didn't think of Levy.
If you're a bas cohen, you also don't? didn't know. None of these never applied to me or anyone in my family, so I didn't know.
Thank you, I'll ask a mod to fix it.

No, because I am a Bas Levi. But my son is a Yisroel, so perhaps if he marries Yisroel, we will yet have one in the family.

No, that's about it. Those are the most common reasons not to make a pidyon haben.

I had a girl first.
And she was a C-Section.
The C-Section reason is pretty common too.

I did! It was really nice and my husband was really glad to have the opportunity that hadn't been done in his family for many generations (my MIL is a bas levi.)
But yeh, you should definitely update the poll--add all those options.

That's when DH is a cohen. It's already there.

I had a boy first, but I am a bas levi, so no pidyon haben. For some reason, this topic comes up rather frequently, and most people will say that they have not gone to too many in their lives. I myself can think of two that I've attended. Until you stop to think about it, you don't realize how rare they are...so many reasons for NOT having one. Out of a combined 5 siblings between me and DH, and b'h everyone married w/ children, no one has made or will make one.
