    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: The Method Has Been Used for Over 700 Years

    The method of using lunar calendars for predicting a baby's gender dates back over 700 years, when they were used by ancient Chinese societies. It is currently culturally used as a way of predicting the sex of a baby. Midwives tales say the lunar calendar is over 90 percent accurate.

    On the Other: Scientific Data Does Not Show Reliability

    According to Physorg.com, Dr. Eduardo Villamor of the U-M School of Public Health and his colleagues located in Sweden and Boston, Massachusetts found the lunar calendar method of predicting a baby's sex is no more accurate than flipping a coin. You have a fifty percent chance of getting it right or wrong.

    Bottom Line

    There is only way to accurately tell the gender of a fetus. It is through amniocentesis, which tests the genetic makeup of the fetus and through the genetics, can tell the sex of the fetus.
