## Free Pregnancy Tools

### Due Date Calculator
URL: https://parentinghub.com.au/tools/due-date-calculator
Calculate your estimated due date based on your last menstrual period or conception date. Your estimated due date is typically calculated as 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period. Only about 5% of babies arrive on their exact due date — most are born within two weeks either side. Early ultrasounds (before 12 weeks) provide the most accurate dating.

### Pregnancy Week Tracker
URL: https://parentinghub.com.au/tools/pregnancy-week-tracker
Track your pregnancy week by week with development milestones and tips. Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters: the first (weeks 1-12) when major organs form, the second (weeks 13-26) often called the golden period, and the third (weeks 27-40) focused on growth and birth preparation.

### Baby Name Generator
URL: https://parentinghub.com.au/tools/baby-name-generator
Get personalised baby name suggestions based on your preferences, origin interests, and style. Filter by name origin, style, length, and starting letter. Generate multiple suggestions and create a shortlist.

A comprehensive checklist to ensure you're fully prepared for hospital. Pack by week 36 — includes essentials for labour, items for after birth, baby essentials, and important documents. The most commonly forgotten items are phone chargers, lip balm, and a going-home outfit for baby.

### Labour Contraction Timer
URL: https://parentinghub.com.au/tools/labour-contraction-timer
Time your contractions to know when it's time to head to the hospital. Tracks frequency, duration, and pattern. Uses the 4-1-1 rule: contractions every 4 minutes, lasting 1 minute each, for at least 1 hour as a guideline for when to go to hospital.

### Baby Movements Counter
URL: https://parentinghub.com.au/tools/baby-movements-counter
Track your baby's kicks and movements to monitor their wellbeing. Most women feel movements between 16-24 weeks. There's no set number of movements — what matters is knowing your baby's normal pattern. Important: babies do NOT slow down as you approach your due date.

### Should I Call My Midwife?
URL: https://parentinghub.com.au/tools/should-i-call-midwife
Answer a few questions to help decide if you should contact your midwife. Covers urgent symptoms (reduced baby movements, bleeding, severe headaches, sudden swelling, waters breaking, contractions before 37 weeks) and less urgent concerns. Always a guide — if unsure, always call.

A: Yes. You can ask 5 questions with no account, and unlimited questions with a free Parenting Hub account. Personalised plans and the live voice avatar are optional paid features.

Q: What can Nurse Lumi analyse from a photo or document?
A: Photos of baby rashes, nappies, breastfeeding latch, sleep environments and bottle/medication labels; and PDFs of hospital discharge summaries, paediatrician letters, growth charts, vaccination records and blood test results. She describes what she sees and flags red flags — she never diagnoses.

Q: Does Nurse Lumi replace my GP or paediatrician?
A: No. She provides general parenting and health information only. Any diagnosis, prescription or in-person assessment must come from your GP, paediatrician, midwife or Child Health Nurse. For emergencies call 000.

Q: Can Nurse Lumi log feeds, sleeps and nappies for my baby?
A: Yes. Ask her by voice or chat ("I fed the baby at 3pm for 20 minutes") and she'll write it to your child's record in the correct timezone.

Q: Can ChatGPT or Claude use Nurse Lumi's tools?
A: Yes. Parenting Hub exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector at https://parentinghub.com.au/mcp. Connect it in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Cursor to call the same 40+ tools Nurse Lumi uses.
