The way you asked the question is too ambiguous.
There are two ways to interpret this.
1)
A women has a child. It's a boy.
A woman has another child. What gender is it?
Since those are two independent events, there is (non-biologically speaking), a 50% chance of having a male or female child
and
2)
The way you actually meant you question to be phrased.
I suggest next time you phrase it better so there is no ambiguity.
