Medical Disclaimer
BabyAwaits is an educational website. It offers general information about pregnancy, fertility and early infancy, plus calculators that apply published formulas and public datasets to the numbers you enter. Nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing here replaces the judgment of a qualified healthcare provider.
No doctor-patient relationship
Reading this site, using its tools, or contacting us does not create a doctor-patient relationship. The site has no access to your medical history and cannot evaluate your individual situation.
Always verify with your provider
Pregnancy and infant care are personal. Your midwife, OB-GYN, family physician or pediatrician knows your history and can interpret dates, lab values and growth measurements in context. If anything on this site appears to conflict with what your provider tells you, follow your provider.
When to seek help now
For urgent concerns — heavy bleeding, severe pain, a clear drop in your baby's movements, signs of preterm labor, or any symptom that simply feels wrong — contact your provider or local emergency services immediately. Do not wait for an online tool.
Sources we rely on
Formulas and guidance referenced across the site come from public, widely used sources — for example ACOG guidance on pregnancy dating and fetal movement counting, IOM/National Academy weight-gain ranges, CDC/NCHS growth charts, and published clinical research cited on the page where each is used. Medical guidance evolves; pages are updated as their sources change.
