Questions people ask
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool works on its own page with no signup, no email and no payment. Each page links to the Birth & Baby University class, training or program it comes from, if you want to go further.
Do you store what I type?
Only if you choose. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere. It stays in your browser on that page and is cleared when you close or reload it, unless you press “Save on this device,” which keeps a copy in your own browser on your own device. You can delete saved copies at any time, and download a copy or share a result only when you press the button.
Are any of these medical tools?
No. The family tools organize, time, count and print; they never diagnose, assess a baby or tell you what to do in labor. Where a page repeats health guidance, it names the public health authority it comes from and the date it was checked, and it always tells you to contact your provider.
