So...have you done the Chinese Gender Prediction thing?

[LadyBaiter]

It's been right on my first two (boys)...am pregnant with 3rd and (controversially, I know) hoping for a girl. We're not going to find out the sex 'officially', but I've done the chart and it's telling me girl. Just wondered if anyone else has done it, and how accurate they found it?

Right first time, wrong second!

It's gubbins and you probably know that too!

FWIW it came up with a girl for my first and that was correct, but it only ever going to be 50/50. You are as well calling heads or tails for accuracy.

Well I did...but I remember conducting this experiment at work when DS2 was due and it was right for about 95% of the other Mum's there, got me thinking.

I find in incredibly accurate. Worked for my first and second pregnancies, and a number of friends' babies too. I also worked out my mums stats for my sister and I - correct. It should be treated as a bit of fun, but still, its quite spooky...

Am on dc number 3 and we know the sex and gender predictor has been right every time for us!

It is a bit spooky, how many times it is right!

I conceived whilst on holiday in China, 7days after making a wish to get pregnant on a wish wall. The chinese calander says it will be a girl, if it is I am a believer!

I am the same as you OP. I have two boys and it was correct for them. If I get pg this month (which I hope to) then it predicts a girl. I don't see it myself. I think we are boy people. Time will tell.

I've done it once & it was right

where can I find it - I want to try it

it just predicted this one to be a girl. I'm happy either way but so far I'm thinking it's a boy.

One here yellowflowers

oooh thanks ladybaiter

oooh it says I am having a boy

Right for first, wrong for second.

50/50 here.

I've just done it retrospectively and it was right, right, wrong.

Oooh! Right so far for each of mine!
Only 15 weeks and 6 days to see if it's right again and I have a girl!
Watch this space :o

Using this particular version of the chart (there are a few different ones knocking about), it was right for me, wrong for my friend (predicted boy, had a girl!) However just to add to the confusion there is another version of the Chinese gender charts which alters your birth age according to the Chinese New Year date. Hence it puts this chart "out" on some of the months.

I have seen another identical-looking version of this calendar that places all the boys as girls and vice versa!

I am more a believer in the Shettles thing than the gender charts, as at least it's got some sort of science I can believe in [if I squint my eyes]

PS Hope you get the girl you want. I think it's totally understandable to have a preference prior to the birth. Of course, once the LO arrives they become an actual person irrespective of gender in the sense that you love them just the same, boy or girl, but beforehand, with just a bump to contemplate, it's probably more common to prefer or wish for a certain sex than many people let on.

right on all of mine

Got mine right too!!!

The gender of your baby is a 50;50 chance.

Think the old pregnancy hormones are scrambling your brains dearies

I'm trying to find out how many parents choose to find out the sex of their baby prior to birth and how many prefer to wait - please answer my super quick survey! www.surveymonkey.com/s/YZP5763
Thanks a lot

It got mine right for DD and it says that I'm having another girl this time! I'm hoping to find out at the 20 week scan on Thursday so I will report back.

Oh, please do Wanderingsheep!

Thanks Girlsworld - it's strange, I've always felt like I would quite like 3 boys, but almost as soon as I got a BFP I've been thikning about how much I would like a girl. Probably as this will be our last I'm worried about 'missing out'. Obviously though, once they are here I won't care either way!

Wrong for all 3 of mine lol
