The Oldest Method to Determine Your Baby Gender
Curiosity about the baby gender is a common thing that every parent has. Despite the
modern technology of the USG that can determine the baby gender when the
pregnancy has been several months old, there are still many old stories and
methods which are believed to be able to predict the baby gender. Among those
old tales, the
Chinese birth calendar is considered as the oldest method that can be found and it is
said to have a high percentage of giving the right prediction.
Let’s
take a look back and see where this method comes from. Actually this method is
not a hand down generation that is given from father to son just like other
Chinese method that we all know such as acupuncture. In fact, this method was
unknown until some Chinese scientist found a document that was buried in a
royal tomb near Beijing around 700 years ago. From that time, the document
containing a chart that shows people how to predict the baby gender has been
used not only in Chinese but also in many countries around the world. Although the
calendar was found around 700 years ago, there were not many people knowing
about its existence until the Qing Dynasty fell down in 1911. Since then, this
calendar was widely used by Chinese people.
700 years
is a very long time and there is a reason why this Chinese birth calendar could survive
all those years. Surely there is more than one reason for this fact and some
people have given their opinion on this case. First of all, this calendar
really works to predict the baby gender. In fact, this calendar can be used to
plan the baby gender, even before conceive happen.
Another
opinion saying why this calendar can survive the long years of use is the
patriarchal society. It is widely known that back in the old days, a baby boy
was far more valuable than women. Another baby boy means that there will be
more hands in the field, there will be someone to proud of, and a boy will
carry the family name. This patriarchal society was used not only in China but
almost in every part of the world. Now, because the calendar works so
effectively and it helps more family to have the baby boy, then it is no wonder
that many people hold the knowledge and it survives to this day.
It is
said that this Chinese birth calendar is so effective and it actually can give around 90% accurate
prediction for any women who like to know their baby gender. Although this is
to exaggerate, but still there are many people using this method to determine
their baby gender from the first time? But, there are still rooms for error so
anyone who uses this calendar should take it lightly and they should not be
disappointed if the baby born the other way around. Just like USG that still
have rooms for error, people should never rely their baby's gender fate with
this one.
The Chinese birth calendar is actually a
chart showing the baby gender based on the mother’s age and conceiving months.
By matching the mother ages and the conceiving month, the people can predict
the baby gender instantly, male or female. The chart itself lists the
prediction of baby gender for a mother of 18 years old up to 45 years old, so
anyone who gets pregnant before 18 years old or older than 45 years old won’t
be able to use the calendar.
The
calendar can be used in two ways. First, people can use the calendar to predict
the baby gender. People can use the calendar for planning baby gender just
simply look at the mother’s age and then try to conceive on the month that show
the desired baby gender result. It has a bigger opportunity to succeed if
people do it in the period where the baby gender remains steady for at least
two months longs. Whatever the reason are, there are the odds that this
calendar will give the right result but just in case it comes up differently,
then it means nothing. The baby whether it is a boy or a girl is loveable in the most
possible way.
