Chinese birth predictor: Baby boy or girl?
placeholding invisible text
placeholding invisible text
This ancient Chinese birth chart was uncovered in the tomb of a monk in Beijing, according to legend. When archaeologists examined the parchment it was printed on, they found that the chart predicts the sex of your baby with a spooky amount of accuracy.
Just look down the chart to find how old you'll be when you give birth and along the top for the month your baby was conceived. The square where the two meet will show if you're having a boy or a girl.
And if it works for you, let us know!

I had a little girl last year, and I am pregnant again. According to the chart, I'm told I'll be having a girl again. In fact I was hoping it was going to be a boy. I'm still hoping a lot the chart is wrong, but it worked for my daughter, so .... Uphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Annoyed now!

A stupid prediction which is false... Anybody can prepare an X/O chart for M/F. If its right oh yes the prediction is right and no then wrong.. common now ppl wake up.. There are only two sexes God had created Male and Female.. take it as God has planned... God bless..

Not so sure I believe in this chart...says my mom should of had a boy, but she had me, and says I'm having a girl but my ultrasound looked more like a boy...still not definate yet though but I'm wanting a boy so I think I'm just gonna ignore this chart, lol. Although it did work for my friend...oh well, guess we shall see. Hope it's a boy though but as long as it's healthy I shouldn't care..

Other sites suggest that the mothers age at the time of conception and month of conception are used whereas this chart says mothers age at time of birth and month of conception. Working this way all mine were correct. working the other way my eldest son should have been a girl. I think I'll stick with this way age at birth as I have just conceived and want a girl and this charts says thats what I'm going to get whereas others say boy and I've already got 3 boisterous ones! Only time will tell.

For my daughter it said i was having a boy, then for my son it said i was having a girl and now i'm pregnant again it says boy so should i expect to be having a girl???
Report this commentnikki, 3 months
i know i shouldnt want but i was very happy cau!se the chartsays im having a girl!find out in three weeks.its kinda strange how accurate this is as it is the sperm that determines the sex of the baby- due to chromosomes yada yada -
Report this commentFozia, 3 months
This chart is good but I can see potential for faults as my baby is due a few days before my next birthday and if the baby is born before my birthday then it's a girl but if it is born after my birthday then it is a boy. How does that work? The reason i'm saying this is because my son was 11 days over due so if this baby is born after the due date... do you see what i mean? Any way lets hope for the best. What ever this baby will be loved.

We did this in our antenatal class and was asked our ages at conception and it was right. There was about 15 in the room and 1 was wrong. If I do my age at birth it is wrong.

ok i have a question.... i will be 25 when my baby is born. but is the month conceived the date of my lmp which is how due date is calculated or when actually conceived? as the 1st day of my last period was march but would have actually conceived in april. so its giving different results for each one thankyou :)

I got pregnant with my son at 17 but the chart doesn't show anything for him. I used it for my daughter that was conceived in Feb. of 04 and I was 18.... and it was right!!! It's funny because all the 'old wives calculations' kept telling me I was having a boy. I guess the chart proved them wrong!!!

The chart was wrong with my first child said a :girl" I had a BOY!!! Was correct with my second also a BOY and know I'm pregnant and it said a BOY again... There are so many charts the ORIGINAL with the 700 years information said GIRL!!!! I'm only PRAYING to my HEAVENLY FATHER that he give me a baby girl this time around. I will love a boy the same... I WANT A DAUGHTER after two handsome sons. And besides I'm running out of name for C's Boys. My husband name is Chris my oldest is Christopher(C.J.) and my youngest is Casmiere (Cash for short) My husband said the girl name can start with T like my first so I want my T...LOL Would love to share her name with you. But, it;s a name I'm sure most mother's will want and I'm holding back. Lol Sorry

I did one of these charts before I knew what I was having and it predicted a girl. I thought it had to wrong as I was convinced I was having a boy (womens intuition and all that), but low and behold I had a scan and was told I was having a girl! And I just did this one today to triple check and got the same result.

I'm curious, every other interpretation of this chart I've seen has you look up the conception month and mother's age at conception. This has now proven accurate in 12 out of 13 tests I've put it against...but using the age at birth is about 50% less accurate.

Wow ! My mum had this chart in 1988 and I was expecting my second child then. According to it the child was to be a girl.So we started a preparation for welcoming a baby girl, my first born being a boy.Mum bought and sewed and knitted pink garments for the new baby and bought lots of colourful frocks. On the night of 22 Feb 1989, the baby turned out to be a bouncy baby boy ! We were happy ofcourse but all the preparation came to a naught as my husband woudn't allow girly clothes on his baby boy. So new set of clothes were bought and I gifted the girlie set to the few months old baby girl of my peon who was stunned at the jackpot ! So in my view take the prediction lightly. And anyways according to the law of probability either boy or a girl has to be born. Why bother, let the mystery unfold it self beautifully.
