Instructions and notes:

  • Enter any known values. All possible other values will be calculated. Values that can not be calculated will be left blank.
  • Dates are interpreted semi-intelligently, but be aware of possible errors if unrecognized formats are used.
  • The due date is 40 weeks after the last menstrual period, or 38 weeks after conception (implantation / fertilization).
  • On the date of birth, a baby is on the first day of life (day of life 1), but is zero days old.
  • The first exam for retinopathy of prematurity is at 31 weeks postmenstrual age, but not before 4 weeks of age (typically indicated if born at <31 weeks gestation or birth weight <1,500 grams).
