Chinese Age Charts, One Of Many Old Wives Tales Of Gender Prediction

Article Category: Society

Author Name: James Tien

Wanting to know the gender of a child before it is born is probably as old as the need to make fire. Through the centuries, various methods have been embraced as accurate predictors. These practices include food cravings, a Chinese age chart, swinging objects, and observing the height of the mother's pregnant belly. Even in the 21st Century where we have reliable medical equipment to show the gender of a fetus, the old wives tales remain popular.

The people of china are said to have created a chart that blends the age of the mother at conception with the month conception took place to find out the gender of a baby. These are so popular they can be found on many internet sites focusing on pregnancies. Somehow the Chinese and predicting the gender of babies seems contradictory, but the chart is one of the most frequently used methods of gender prediction.

Another method for guessing gender is by swinging the mother's wedding ring over her midsection. If the ring swings in a circle, it will be a boy. If the ring swings back and forth in a line, it says a girl. An alternate version of this is swinging a new, sharpened pencil attached to a sewing needle over the mom's non-dominate hand. Are these methods also predictors of boys' and girls' future behavior on swingsets? Boys go round and round while girls prefer swinging in a line.

Many mothers claim to have cravings during pregnancy. The old wives came up with tales to predict the sex of the baby around the cravings too. Cravings for sweet foods indicate a little lady, whereas spicy, sour, and salty suggest a lad. One of the old wives must've been Mother Goose. The nursery rhyme, "What are Little Boys Made of" has a familiar theme.

Another method of forecasting the gender of a baby is by counting the heart beats. A girl baby's heart allegedly beats more than 140 bpm, in contrast to a boy which would beat less than 140. Of course, the equipment used to measure the fetal heart rates hasn't been around as long as most of the other tales. Perhaps the women a few centuries from now will use some of our practices as the new old wives tales.

Is the mom-to-be carrying the baby high or low? Supposedly, this will tell the baby's gender. A high baby will be a girl and a low baby will be a boy. A question comes to mind regarding the reliability of this one. At what stage in the pregnancy should this method be used? At some point near the end, aren't all pregnant bellies carried low?

There are more old wives tales for predicting gender out there. They range from changes in a woman's leg hair growth to willingness to eat the heel of a loaf of bread. The Chinese age chart seems random to the average person, but they say it is 90% reliable. Not odds to go and bet the bank on, but women continue to pull out the chart nonetheless. The truth will still only be revealed when the baby is born.
