Is it a boy or a girl?

This fun tool may not be as accurate as an ultrasound, but hundreds of women swear by Chinese gender prediction charts to determine the sex of their baby. It was created over 700 years ago by a Chinese scientist and is now kept in the Institute of Science in Beijing. It is said to be 99 per cent accurate.

	To predict what sex your baby may be, simply select your age and month of conception from the boxes below. Age: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 Month: January February March April May June July August September October November December
