Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gender prediction methods and accuracy

Are these gender prediction methods accurate?

No, these methods are not scientifically accurate. They are traditional beliefs, myths, and old wives' tales meant for entertainment only. The only reliable methods for determining baby's gender are medical tests like ultrasound (after 18-20 weeks) or genetic testing.

What is the Chinese Gender Calendar?

The Chinese Gender Calendar is a traditional prediction method that claims to predict baby's gender based on the mother's lunar age at conception and the lunar month of conception. While popular, it has no scientific basis and is about 50% accurate (same as random chance).

When can I find out my baby's gender accurately?

Medical methods can determine gender accurately: Ultrasound at 18-20 weeks (95-99% accurate), NIPT blood test after 10 weeks (99% accurate), CVS at 10-13 weeks, or Amniocentesis at 15-20 weeks. Always confirm with your healthcare provider.

Why do people still use these prediction methods?

These methods are fun traditions that many families enjoy as part of their pregnancy journey. They can be entertaining conversation starters at baby showers or gender reveal parties, even though they're not scientifically valid.

Do any symptoms actually indicate baby's gender?

No pregnancy symptoms reliably indicate baby's gender. Morning sickness, cravings, belly shape, and heart rate are influenced by many factors including genetics, health, and individual variation, not the baby's gender.
