Baby gender predictor: boy or girl?

Boy or girl? It's the question everyone wants the answer to. We've looked at the science about what influences the sex of a baby and used it for our gender predictor. Keep in mind, much of the scientific evidence here is slight, and some of it is hotly debated by experts. But it's still fun to try to guess. You may also want to read about more accurate ways to find out your baby's sex.

By the way, we're using the word gender here because people often use this word when talking about their child's sex. However, the two are not the same. A child is generally assigned a sex at birth based on biological characteristics, such as their genitals. Gender is more complex and is our internal sense of who we are, and how we see and describe ourselves.
