Chinese birth predictor, Chinese birth chart: baby boy or girl?

Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

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!

This chart was right with my 1st child which was a boy and it was also right with me and my sister when my mum had us. I am now planning on my 2nd child and really want a girl so i have used the chart to choose which month to get pregnant for a girl. I am just wating to see if i am pregnant as it is a little too early yet to find out yet. I hope i am and it will be a girl. Fingers crossed for me and my fingers are crossed for all you ladies too to get the sex you would like. Good-luck ladies.

Lol, both of mine are wrong - for my daughter the chart says i should have had a boy - WRONG, she is most certainly all girl. And now this time the chart says i'm due a girl, again WRONG - our scan was a full frontal extremely clear pic of little boys testicals and winkle, lol! Never mind - it's all a bit of fun!

The Chart said girl, but i went in for my 20 week ultrasound and... it's a boy. I really wanted a girl, all the oldwives tales pointed to a girl too but, nope... having a boy. I had the ulrtasound tech check many times just to be sure cause i was so sure i was having a girl. As long as he's healthy though, that's all that matters!!!

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!

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..

Charlie, 6 months

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.

Fozia, 6 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.

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.

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.
