Editorial Policy

Last reviewed: July 2026

At DueDate.Baby, we want to provide parents with clear, practical, and UK-focused pregnancy planning tools. To ensure our content remains helpful and safe, we follow a strict editorial policy.

1. Clear and Practical Planning

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. Trusted UK Sources

Health-adjacent pregnancy content, such as week-by-week baby development and common maternal symptoms, 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)

You will find a "Sources and further reading" block at the bottom of our health-adjacent pages linking to these external resources.

3. We Do Not Provide Medical Advice

We strictly avoid diagnosing symptoms, offering treatment instructions, or providing urgent medical advice. We will never tell you that a symptom is "definitely normal." Instead, we encourage all users to speak to a GP, midwife, NHS 111, or emergency services where appropriate.

4. Regular Reviews

We regularly review and update our pages to ensure our dates, calculators, and general advice align with current UK guidelines. You will see a "Last reviewed" date on all relevant pages.

5. 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If you spot an error, an outdated link, or have a suggestion to improve our calculators or content, we welcome your feedback.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.
