Pregnancy and baby

Dates, weeks and trimesters counted from a period or an embryo transfer, a feeding timer and a weight log — all arithmetic on dates and weights you enter, on a desk that says plainly what it is not.

Every figure on this desk is calendar arithmetic. A due date is 280 days from the first day of the last period, or a fixed number of days from an IVF transfer depending on the embryo’s age; a week count is the days since that start divided by seven; a trimester boundary is a fixed day number. None of those is a measurement of your pregnancy. When a scan has dated it, the scan’s date is the one to use, and the page will work back from whatever due date you give it.

Where a number belongs to a person rather than to a calendar, the page asks for it and does not supply one. Weight gain is compared only with the range your own chart states, and stays uncompared until both ends are entered. Ovulation and fertility windows follow the arithmetic of a cycle length you enter and say in the same breath that a calendar is not a fertility test, not a contraception, and not a substitute for a clinician’s reading of your cycle. The feeding timer measures time and nothing else — not intake, not adequacy, not a schedule.

So nothing here assesses you or your baby. There are no percentiles, no “normal” readings, no target weight and no advice on when a pregnancy should end; those are clinical judgements that need an examination, a growth chart and a history this page cannot see. Every page carries the same note: this is arithmetic, not antenatal care, and a dating scan, a growth chart and a clinician’s advice take precedence over every figure on it.

What the desk does keep is its own record keeping. The feeding log and every sheet are built in the browser, printed from it and never uploaded or stored; closing the page clears the timers and the entries. A printed sheet persists, so it should be treated like any other record of a baby’s day or a pregnancy, and kept accordingly.
