DueDate.Baby

Editorial Policy

Last reviewed: July 2026Reviewed against cited UK guidance

DueDate.Baby is an independent UK pregnancy planning site. We aim to make dates, common care milestones, and practical preparation easier to understand without presenting the site as a medical service.

1. What This Site Is For

Our content is written for planning and educational purposes. We aim to help you track your dates, understand the stages of your pregnancy, and prepare for upcoming NHS appointments.

2. How We Source Information

Health-adjacent pregnancy content, such as week-by-week development, common symptoms, and care milestones, is checked against trusted UK sources. We predominantly reference:

  • NHS Pregnancy Guidance
  • NHS Start for Life
  • Tommy's Pregnancy Information
  • The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG)

Each health-adjacent guide includes a sources block with direct links so readers can check the official wording themselves. Pages are reviewed on a rolling basis; the visible review date tells you when that page's source set was last checked.

3. How We Review Content

  1. Start with official NHS or GOV.UK guidance for UK care, dates, rights, and entitlements.
  2. Use relevant professional-body or charity information only where it adds useful context.
  3. Check calculator assumptions, date logic, and external links before publishing changes.
  4. Show direct source links and a review date on health-adjacent pages so readers can verify the information.

A review date means the cited source set and general planning guidance were checked on that date. It does not mean that a clinician has reviewed an individual reader's circumstances or that a page replaces current advice from a care team.

4. Clinical Boundaries and Urgent Help

We do not diagnose symptoms, offer treatment instructions, or replace a midwife, GP, maternity unit, or other qualified professional. We will not tell you that a symptom is "definitely normal". If something concerns you, contact your maternity team, GP, or NHS 111. In an emergency, call 999.

5. Reviews, Corrections, and Changes

We review date calculations, external links, and general guidance against the cited sources. A review date does not mean individual clinical approval or replace current advice from your care team. When guidance changes, we update the affected page and its source block.

6. Feedback and Corrections

If you spot an error, an outdated link, or have a suggestion to improve our calculators or content, we welcome your feedback. You can reach out to us via our Contact page.
