Gender Prediction Using The Chinese Age Chart And Other Methods

Article Category: Family Concerns

Author Name: James Tien

There are many fun and silly ways to predict the gender of a baby. Pregnant woman use Chinese age charts, jewelry, food choices and body shapes to name a few. These old wives tales may not be scientifically proven, but they are a mainstay in the mythology surrounding pregnancy.

A chart, reportedly coming from China, combines the month of conception with the mother's age at conception to determine the baby's gender. This chart seems scattered to an untrained eye, but apparently is a highly reliable predictor. Funny that China was once thought to have a female population problem, yet is credited with a gender predicting tool. Regardless of rumors, the chart remains one of the most favored unscientific methods for determining gender.

It is believed that there is a correlation between the direction of an object swinging and gender. Two versions of one old wives tale say that when the object swings in a circle, the baby is a boy and if the object swings in a line, the baby is a girl. In one story, the object is a mother's wedding ring swinging over the belly of the mother. A swinging needle over the wrist or hand is the other test. Coincidently, the person holding the string doesn't seem to be a factor in the direction of the swing.

Many mothers claim to have cravings during pregnancy. The old wives came up with tales to predict the sex of the baby around the cravings too. Cravings for sweet foods indicate a little lady, whereas spicy, sour, and salty suggest a lad. One of the old wives must've been Mother Goose. The nursery rhyme, "What are Little Boys Made of" has a familiar theme.

Bringing the old wives tale into the modern world is the measure of the baby's heart rate. The old wives who came up with this one must not have predated an ultrasound or fetal heart rate monitor. Rumor has it that a baby's heartbeat greater that 140 bpm points to a girl and less than 140 bpm equals a boy.

Is the mom-to-be carrying the baby high or low? Supposedly, this will tell the baby's gender. A high baby will be a girl and a low baby will be a boy. A question comes to mind regarding the reliability of this one. At what stage in the pregnancy should this method be used? At some point near the end, aren't all pregnant bellies carried low?

Of the more than 50 old wives tales regarding pregnancy, a number of them pertain to determining gender. The Chinese age chart is based on the lunar calendar whereas the swinging objects method is rooted in gravitational pull. They are harmless and fun unless taken too seriously. As long as there is someone rational to remind the mom-to-be that these methods are not scientifically-based and the only reliable practice for determining gender is looking at the baby's privates at birth.
