How To Use The Chinese Baby Calendar

By Jerri Birthing

The Chinese Baby Calendar was discovered about 700 years ago by a Chinese scientist. It is believed to be very accurate by many in the far east, while Westerners aren't so sure. The Chinese Gender Calendar can be a lot of fun whether you're a "believer" or not.

First you need to understand how to use it properly, if you don't know much about the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the differences compared to the Gregorian Calendar used in the west.

To use the calendar for predicting gender you must know the baby's date of conception, that's conception not birth. Many have mistakenly tried to use the actual birth date, which will produce inaccurate results.

When trying to predict a babys gender using the calendar, you must inter the mother-to-be's date of conception. That's right, her month of conception using the Chinese Calendar and not the Gregorian Calendar used in the west.

Because of the differences in these calendars, the mother should add nine months to her age at conception to begin with, and if she conceives after the Chinese New Year (it's a different date between January 22 and February 22 every year) she should add another year. Think of the year as starting on the Chinese New Year instead of January 1st.

You then simply find the month of conception and the age of the mother using the parameters above, follow the two columns till they intersect and if the square is blue it's a boy baby and if it's pink it's a girl baby.

You, of course, can find out (by way of an ultra-sound) if you will have a boy or girl in your seventh or eighth month, but if nothing else the Chinese Lunar Calendar is fun to try and you can use it on your other children or anyones children for that matter.

So have some fun with The Chinese Lunar Calendar, and remember you're baby is a gift from above no matter what gender it! - 30525
