About the Pregnancy Calculator

This applet was designed primarily to predict pregnancy due dates. It uses the simple rule of adding 280 days to the date of the last menstrual period (adjusted for menstrual cycles other than 28 days) or adding 266 days to the date of conception. This is obviously a very simplistic approach. Only 5% of babies are born on their due date.

The applet uses Java programming technology. This allows it to run in a web browser and thus makes it very accessible. Java technology is, however, still very young so it is possible the applet may not work with all browsers or viewers. If the applet does not work for you or you believe it may be giving inaccurate results, please contact the author at the address given below the applet.

If you would like to link to the applet from one of your pages you can insert the following two lines into your page and a graphic will appear (shown below) which links to the applet.
