When a coin is flipped, there are only two possibilities: either heads or tails would come up. Similarly, successful childbirth results in either a baby boy or a baby girl. After you become a proud parent, your whole life changes permanently and most of the time, it changes for the better. There is no joy in the whole world comparable to the joy of parenting.
Sheer curiosity makes us wonder whether the expected little one would be a baby girl or a baby boy. This curiosity may lead to playful guesswork or devising ways and methods to accurately predict the gender of the unborn fetus.
A Chinese conception gender chart is one such method that’s used for such a purpose. This chart is attracting people all over the world because it is said to be highly accurate and best of all, it doesn't cost a thing.
Also known as the Chinese lunar calendar, it is around 700 years old and is not as popular as other Chinese concepts of feng shui, martial arts or Chinese herbal medicine. This astrological method states that conception depends on the woman's birth and the lunar cycle. This is quite in contrast to the western concept of gender determination through the mating of X and Y chromosomes. According to the western theory, it is the father who through the sperm can be held responsible for the gender of the child. But, the Chinese lunar calendar syas that it is the mother whose birth chart and lunar cycle determine the sex of the fetus.
The Chinese conception gender chart is based on certain beliefs. The first is that conception of a boy or a girl depends on the planetary configurations and position of the moon at the time of conception as well as at the time of the mother's birth.
The Chinese lunar calendar is used for the purpose of calculations. Certain tables are provided for date conversions and must be used very carefully for achieving the best results. The second important belief is that at the Chinese new year, one year is added to the age of the newborn so at birth every child is a year old and accordingly, a baby born a couple of days before the Chinese new year would be two years old. This single fact is not understood properly and generally leads to a wrong calculation of the the mother's age which is quite crucial in making predictions. By properly calculating the age using the conversion tables, one can find out the gender of the fetus.
But that is not all, by following their beliefs regarding periods of conception, that is the leap month and period of gender selection, you can actually select the gender of your unborn child. Amazing isn't it?
You would be surprised to know that more and more people have successfully used these methods for satiating their curiosity. Still, there are thousands of others who have been helped by Dr. Eugen Jonas in Czechoslovakia to successfully select the gender of their planned baby. With intelligent use of the mind and the Internet, any one can go ahead and do the same. Whether it is ethical or not is a totally different subject, this issue may even be subjective. All I can say is- to each his own.
