Baby Gender Predictor

In today's digital and tech-savvy world, there are so many fun ways to predict your baby's gender. One of the most popular old-wives-tale-ways is to use the Chinese gender calendar, which dates back thousands of years. This method predicts your baby's gender based on an ancient Chinese gender chart and uses your lunar age and the lunar month you got pregnant to determine the baby's gender.

Fast forward to today! At Villie, we've created a tool that combines the ancient lunar calendar with twenty-first-century technology!

Updated for 2026 our Chinese Baby Gender Predictor is easy to use. With your information, our calculator will instantly convert your dates into your lunar dates to get a final gender prediction.

What Is the Chinese Baby Gender Predictor?

The Chinese gender predictor chart is a traditional method that claims to guess whether you’re having a boy or a girl using two things: your age when you conceived, and the month you conceived.

Instead of using your regular (Gregorian) age, it uses your lunar age and the Chinese lunar calendar. Our Chinese baby gender predictor calculator does all that math for you behind the scenes so you can just plug in your info and see a fun result.This method has been shared for generations as a lighthearted way to guess baby’s sex long before the anatomy scan.

How Villie’s Baby Gender Predictor Works

Our baby gender predictor uses the same basic idea as the traditional Chinese gender chart, updated for 2026. You enter your age at conception. You choose the month you conceived. Our tool converts those dates to the Chinese lunar calendar. It maps that info onto a modern version of the Chinese gender predictor chart and shows “boy” or “girl.” It’s quick, free, and just for fun while you wait for more accurate medical tests.

How Accurate Is the Chinese Gender Predictor?

Short answer? About 50% accurate — the same as flipping a coin. A large study from the University of Michigan looked at more than 2.8 million births in Sweden and tested the Chinese lunar calendar method. The results: the method was no better than chance at predicting baby’s sex. (PubMed)

‍That means: It can be a cute guessing game. It should not be used to make health, pregnancy, or family-planning decisions. For real medical accuracy, you’ll want to wait for options like NIPT or your second-trimester ultrasound, which are designed to identify fetal sex.

A Quick Note on Sex vs. Gender

You’ll see this tool called a “Chinese gender predictor” almost everywhere online — and that’s probably how you found it. Technically, it’s trying to guess your baby’s sex (biological characteristics), not their gender (which is shaped by identity and culture over time). (Schema.org) We keep the phrase “gender predictor” here so it’s easy for you to search and find, while doing our best to use accurate language in the rest of the page.

Is It Safe to Use the Chinese Gender Predictor?

Yes — as long as you treat it as entertainment only. This tool: does not use or store medical records, does not diagnose, treat, or screen for any condition, and should not replace care from your own provider. Think of it like a digital old-wives’ tale to play with while you’re waiting to meet your baby.
