The value formation of expectant mothers in gender preference about their unborn babies is analyzed in two interaction aspects, one is the cultural gender value and the other is family system gender value. The construction of judgment pattern is to generalize judgment factors as judgment basis, judgment criterion and judgment bylaw. The adopted clinical study method is field studies, and the study objects are through purposive sampling, collect information by participate in observation and go deep into interview. The study take non-structural questionnaire nursing two expectant mothers, who got female babies in previous pregnancy, for four months, and then conclude and analyze the information and form the semi-structural questionnaire. Taking this questionnaire as a tool for collecting information, and collect total 9 pregnant multiparas, and analyze the value formation of expectant mothers in gender preference about their unborn babies, and construct the judgment pattern accordingly. From the study results it is discovered that the value formation of expectant mothers in gender preference about their unborn babies, is from cultural gender value through socialization process to mold the gender value in family system and the value of expectant mothers; and from the interaction of the gender value in family system and self value to form the gender value of babies. Judgment pattern is based on gender value in family system and self-values, and from the interaction process to conclude relevant factors and form the judgment criterions, including, the convey method for the expectation of having a baby boy, the recognition of gender and the gender value of material life. These are to form the baby’s gender as the judgment results, and the recognition of gender is the most important judgment criterion that will influence the other two.
