Chinese Pregnancy Calendar
The Chinese Pregnancy Calendar (or Chinese Pregnancy Chart) apparently can be used to help pregnant women determine whether they are more likely to give birth to a baby boy or a baby girl. Also known as the Chinese Conception Chart, the calendar was unearthed from the tomb of a member of the royal family almost 1000 years ago and the original is on view in the Beijing Institute of Science.
To use the Chinese Pregnancy Calendar you just locate your age and then the month in which you conceived your baby. If you're not sure when you conceived, calculate back to the first day of your last period and add around ten days. This is when you are most likely to have conceived! A pink square means you are more likely to have a baby girl whilst a blue square means you'll be more likely to have a boy!
Whilst there are no guarantees with the Chinese Pregnancy Calendar it's certainly fun and you can always use it alongside other fun ways of predicting your baby's gender such as the wedding ring spinning or swaying on a thread/ length of hair!
