Version 1 of A Pregnancy Calculator

Updated 2004-10-20 07:06:06

Because there are so many Tcl babies expected in February 2005, I thought I'd wrap up my pregnancy calculator routines a simple GUI and give it to all of you to play with.

It can calulate the expected due date from the first day of the last menstrual period or the conception date.

It outputs:

  • the number of weeks you're pregnant
  • the number of weeks left
  • A guess at how long your child is from head to butt (crown rump length) for pregnancy durations between 6 and 18 weeks.
  • A guess at how long your child is from head to heel (crown heel length) for pregnancy durations between 12 and 43 weeks.
  • A guess at the weight of your child for pregnancy durations between 8 and 42 weeks.

The numbers come from a bunch of articles I found using PubMed. They are somewhat accurate for average babies. Your baby is likely not very average, though. The numbers are there for fun.

It needs some visual improvements.
