Baby Prediction App 1.0

The Chinese Gender Calendar, originated during the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911 AD), is a traditional tool for predicting the sex of an unborn child. It relies on two key factors: the mother's Chinese lunar age at conception and the lunar month in which conception occurs. For those who are pregnant, this gender prediction tool, along with the accompanying gender chart, facilitates the determination of whether one is expecting a boy or girl. Additionally, for couples trying to conceive, it offers guidance on timing to increase the likelihood of having a boy or a girl.

Baby Gender Chart

To utilize this chart effectively, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Determine the mother's lunar age at conception:

   The age used in this calculation must reflect the mother's Chinese age at the time of conception, which is typically one or two years older than her actual age. To calculate this, subtract the mother's Chinese lunar birth year from the lunar year in which conception took place, and then add an additional year.

2. Identify the lunar month of conception:
3. Using the information gathered from steps one and two:

   Locate the mother's age on the left side of the gender chart and find the corresponding month of conception across the top. The intersection point of these two values will reveal the predicted gender of the baby.

Example Calculation:

Consider a mother with a date of birth of February 1, 1983, who conceived on January 15, 2015.

1. Step 1: Calculate Chinese Age:

   Using a Gregorian-Chinese Calendar Converter, we find that February 1, 1983 converts to December 19, 1982 in lunar terms, while January 15, 2015 corresponds to November 25, 2014. Subtracting 1982 from 2014 yields 32. Adding one year results in a Chinese age of 33.

2. Step 2: Determine Lunar Month of Conception:

   The converted date from step one shows that November 25, 2014 is in November.

3. Step 3: Consult the Chart:

   By checking the chart for age 33 and month of November, we find that the predicted gender is female.

Note: While many individuals are curious about the accuracy of this Chinese gender prediction method, it's important to acknowledge that there is no scientific backing confirming its complete reliability. The traditional calendar has demonstrated an approximate accuracy rate of about 70%, making it a popular choice among expectant parents for gender prediction or selection. It can also serve as an entertaining activity to see how accurately it resonates with one's own experiences or those of family and friends. Ultimately, regardless of whether one anticipates a boy or a girl, health remains paramount.
