Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate your due date?

The most common method adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last period; a first-trimester ultrasound can refine the estimate based on the baby's actual growth.

When is the best time to take a childbirth class?

It's usually recommended to start between weeks 28 and 32, so you can finish with a few weeks to spare before your due date.

What should you pack in your hospital bag?

ID and documents, a change of clothes for you and your baby, toiletries, an outfit for coming home: a complete checklist helps you avoid forgetting anything at the last minute.

When is the right time to start your baby registry?

Many families start between the end of the second trimester and the beginning of the third, giving themselves enough time for big purchases (stroller, car seat) that can take longer to arrive.
