The Chinese predictor chart has become pretty well known now. As long as women have been getting pregnant, it seems there has been curiosity around what the sex of the baby will be — which is probably why so many theories and tests have sprung up to predict a boy or a girl.

The guessing game begins almost as soon as you get a positive result on a pregnancy test. Will it be a girl? Or a boy?

Studies have found that women who are pregnant with girls may be significantly more likely to experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Some of them carry significant risks.
