A lot of people are curious about baby gender prediction and how it works. The Chinese calendar method of baby gender predictionworked for me! I used it for my child and it said that I was going to have a boy and that is what I had. However,each person is different and some believe in certain things and some do not. It is up to each person as to whether they want to believe or not.

Some people feel that the way a woman carries her child is a way of predicting whether the baby will be a male or a female. Many think that boys tend to sit higher in the belly while girls sit lower. This too is not really accurate as often the way a woman’s belly develops during pregnancy is going to be influenced by her own body shape rather than the child’s gender. Shorter women or those women who have shorter torso might discover that a baby sits in the lower belly due to limited room for its development. Taller women may find that the baby sits higher simply because it has that much more room. Of course there are many other factors that influence the size and shape of the belly during pregnancy and this too cannot be considered an accurate baby gender prediction method.

It is known that sperm that contains Y chromosomes, which means they will produce boys, usually moves faster and also dies quicker compared to sperm only containing X chromosomes, producing girls, which seems to make it the only real baby gender prediction method. It is significant that sperm carrying a Y chromosome lose motility sooner than sperm carrying an X chromosome. Many believe that for baby gender prediction you should lie still after intercourse for a boy as this will allow that sperm to reach an egg to fertilize quicker. {For a girl you should consider have intercourse a day after ovulation as the Y chromosome sperm may then die off before they reach an egg whereas the longer-lasting X chromosome sperm have a better chance of lasting long enough to reach that egg.}

Keep in mind that there is no guaranteed method of baby gender prediction. All the techniques and tricks in the world cannot and will not control what goes on in a woman’s uterus, so be prepared for a baby of either gender no matter what you try.
