Chinese table: know the oriental technique to find out the sex of your baby

When looking at a positive pregnancy test, many things go through the minds of future dads. The renovation of the little room, how will life change, what will the delivery be like and the main one: will it be a boy or a girl?

In popular culture there are numerous spells and techniques that teach how to find out the sex of the baby and even how to choose it. Although there is no scientific proof, when curiosity is great, the couple resorts to them in order to find out the sex of the baby.

One of the ways to make this discovery is using the Chinese table. It is believed that by combining the mother’s lunar age and the month of conception, which is the month in which the woman became pregnant, it is possible to find out if the mother is expecting a boy or a girl.

Know the origins of the table

The Chinese table is known as an oriental tradition where it is possible to find out the sex of the baby, considering the age of the mother and the month in which the baby was conceived.

The table has been in existence for over 700 years and tradition has it that it was buried in a tomb of a Chinese royal family. The original table is currently at the Beijing Institute of Science. In Eastern countries, the use is very widespread and it is estimated that the hit rate can reach up to 93%.

How table calculations work

First, the woman must find out her lunar age, which is the age when she became pregnant plus 1. Attention: for women born in January or February, it is not necessary to add 1 to the age. For example: A woman who was born on 7/11/84, in 2014 turns 30 years old. So if she gets pregnant this year, her lunar age will be 31.

Now, if the woman was born in the months of January and February, it is not necessary to add 1. For example: a woman who was born on 01/29/87, in 2014, turns 27 years old. If she becomes pregnant this year, her lunar age will be 27, as the sum of one is not necessary.

After finding out the lunar age, it is necessary to know in which month the woman became pregnant. With these data in hand, it is possible to verify in the table the crossing between the lunar age and month of conception. The letters ‘M’ and ‘H’ in the table indicate Female and Male respectively.

So, get to work! If you can’t stand the curiosity, check the table below and see what Chinese tradition says: will it be a girl or a boy? Remembering that these tests and tables are not scientifically proven and are based on Chinese tradition, but it doesn’t hurt to try, right?

Testimonials from mothers who have tested

Pâmela, from the blog Relatos da Mãe

In the case of Pâmela Cavalcanti, pregnant, now 23 years old, the Chinese table worked out well for the first child she is expecting: “the history of the Chinese table worked very well for me. I got pregnant in September at the age of 22 and my birthday is in January, so I don’t need to add 1 more, I looked in the column at age 22, in the month I got pregnant “September” and the result was GIRL. At 18 weeks pregnant, through a regular ultrasound, I found out that my Lorena was on the way. What happiness!”

Jamilly, from the Mother Forever Blog

Jamilly would like to have a boy and planned her pregnancy according to the Chinese chart: “when I decided to get pregnant, I read a lot on the internet for tips on how to have a boy and, talking to a friend about my research, she introduced me to the Chinese chart. I found the table on a website and decided to do the math to see what sex the baby would possibly have if it was “planned”. The following month, when the table indicated a boy, I had no doubts and got ready to get pregnant. Four months later I confirmed the baby’s sex and out of fun and curiosity I showed it to several friends who had already had their children and the table was right for the vast majority. Now 4 years later I’m using the Chinese table again for who knows if a girl comes.”

Mari, from the Mom Challenge blog

Mari is another mom who has also had success using the table. “My name is Marilene Marchesin Ribeiro, I am 32 years old and I am the mother of Maria Eduarda, 4 years old. I got to know the Chinese table in 2009, when I was planning Maria Eduarda’s pregnancy, through co-workers. At the time two people told me that the table had worked. The first was the mother of a girl and the second was the father of two girls. As I really wanted to be a mother of a girl, I consulted the chart and used it as a reference as soon as my husband and I started trying to conceive. When I got pregnant, all the other games played to find out the sex of the baby were a boy, except for the Chinese table. At 5 months we discovered the sex: the little girl I wanted so much. Point for the Chinese table!”

If you are curious to know the sex of the baby or still want to plan the arrival of a boy or girl, use the Chinese table, but never forget that this is not a scientifically proven method and does not have a 100% chance of being correct. . It just serves as a fun game to try to kill the curiosity of fathers and mothers.
