The Chinese Pregnancy Calendar And The Gender Of Your Baby

For hundreds of years people have been trying to figure out how to guarantee having a boy or girl. At the same time, others have tried to predict the sex of the baby already in the womb. There are many different ways that this is tried, from the ring on a string to the height and placement of the belly during the pregnancy. But the Chinese have been relying on their lunar calendar and their Chinese pregnancy calendar to help choose the gender they want.

 

The Beijing Institute of Science is said to hold the original calendar that can predict the gender of a baby before conception. Some say it was discovered around seven hundred years ago while others say closer to a thousand. It is rumored to have been created for the royal families so that they could guarantee a son in the family.

 

This pregnancy calculator is said to be based in Yin Yang and some swear by it. It requires knowing the month of conception and the lunar age of the mother upon conception. The tricky part is understanding and knowing the lunar age of the mother in order to get accurate results from the calendar.

 

The Chinese use a calendar that is lunar based and they believe that when you are born you are already one year old because they add the time you were in the womb onto your age. When Chinese New Year comes around, you gain another year to your age, even if you born just the day before that holiday. So a child that is born the day before that celebrated day will find themselves two years old on just their second day in the world.

 

The Western and Chinese calendars are two months apart. Every February, the Chinese celebrate Chinese New year, but it falls on a different day each year of that month. Some will go online and use a calculator to determine their lunar age while others will just add one year to their age at time of conception.

 

Once you have your lunar age and the month of conception, which is easy to deduce by going by your last period, you are ready to take a look at the sex of your future child. Many different sites will have graphs and Chinese calendars for you to use, down the left side is a list of ages and the top will be the months. When those two meet, you will see the sex of your child that is predicted.

 

With some cultures doing all they can to ensure a male child in the family, predictors like this are used religiously to help make that happen. And today the Chinese baby calendar isn’t only used by the Chinese, it is gaining popularity worldwide. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in that or not, it can be fun to check it out and see how accurate it is for you.
