Baby on the Way: Setting Up Your Due-Date Countdown

From the first scan to the day you bring your baby home, pregnancy is a journey of milestones. A gentle countdown helps you savour each one — and keeps family in the loop.

Start with the due date

Set a soft, glanceable widget counting the days until your due date. Choose a calming colour and, if you like, a photo of the nursery or a scan to make it personal.

Milestones to track along the way

• The 12-week and 20-week scans
• Trimester changes
• Antenatal classes
• The week your hospital bag should be packed

Bring family along

Send a countdown card to grandparents-to-be so they can share the anticipation from afar. It's a sweet, simple way to keep everyone connected to the journey.

Keep it gentle

Pregnancy timelines can shift, and that's okay — a due date is an estimate, not a deadline. days2go makes it easy to adjust the date any time, with soft themes and shareable cards that turn the long wait into a series of small, joyful moments.
