Free Chinese Pregnancy Calendars: iVillage, Softpedia and More Places

Anne Reed
Based on ancient Chinese statistics, a Chinese pregnancy calendar predicts the gender of an unborn child. Using the mother's age and the date of the baby's conception, the calendar can tell if a baby will be a boy or a girl. Many studies have been performed regarding the calendar's accuracy and, surprisingly, researchers have found that the calendar has a 97% to 99% rate of success.

According to legend, the original Chinese pregnancy calendar was found in an ancient Royal Tomb near Peking. Today, the calendar is housed at China's Institute of Science but you can find online versions which will allow you to predict your baby's gender for free.

Baby Med features a Chinese pregnancy calendar generator in which you plug in the data and instantly learn the sex of your unborn child. The site also features a gender chart which will tell you the date on which you should conceive in order to have a boy or a girl.

iVillage has an easy-to-use Chinese pregnancy calendar, which lets you look up the sex by finding the mother's age and then looking for the month of conception. This site also includes 38 other ways to guess the sex of your unborn child.

Moms Who Think features a free Chinese pregnancy calendar and links to other birth related items including childbirth health information and videos.

My Pregnancy Guide features a handy Chinese pregnancy calendar which is very easy to use. It also has the history of the calendar and a video explaining how conception works.

The New York Times features a downloadable Chinese pregnancy calendar in its technology section which allows you quick access even when you are not online.

Pregnancy and Baby has Chinese pregnancy calendars based on the mother's lunar age at the time of conception. Since a lunar month is typically shorter than a regular month, this may require a bit of though for those who conceived at the beginning or end of a month. There are two charts, one for women 18-31 and one for women 32-45.

Softpedia features downloadable Chinese pregnancy calendar software based on lunar months. This free software is user-friendly.

The Labor of Love offers two Chinese pregnancy calendars. One is the original lunar calendar where you are required to find your age according to the Chinese calendar on your own and the second features a generator which does the work for you.
