What it does

The Arrival Countdown & Baby Arrival Studio turns your due date into a live, ticking countdown, then layers on the fun: gestational milestones and baby-size comparisons for wherever you are in the wait, and a Family & Friends Arrival Prediction Pool where guests guess the arrival date, time of day, and weight. It finishes with connected care tools and a printable "Baby Arrival Countdown & Family Pact" summary you can share by link or QR code.

Who it’s for

Parents-to-be who want the wait to feel like an event — and families who love a friendly wager on when baby will actually show up.

How to use it, step by step

  1. Enter your estimated due date (and an optional baby nickname like "Baby Peanut") and tap Calculate Countdown.
  2. Watch the live countdown and check the Milestones & Size tab for this week's baby-size comparison and timeline.
  3. Open the Family Pool tab and add predictions: guest name, date, time of day (morning, afternoon, evening, night), and predicted weight.
  4. Share the pool with a copyable link or QR code so grandparents and shower guests can add their guesses.
  5. Print the Summary & Printable Pact tab to keep the predictions as a keepsake.

What you get

A live days-to-go countdown, your current milestone and size snapshot, a pool predictions log, and a printable family pact.

✦ A worked example

You give it

Due date set, then Grandma Sarah predicts an arrival three days early, in the morning, at 7 lbs 8 oz.

Her guess lands in the Pool Predictions Log next to everyone else's — ready to settle bragging rights after the birth.

💡 Tips & tricks

  • Pick a color theme for the countdown card (Teal, Rose, Gold, Star) before sharing the link — it makes the screenshot much cuter.
  • The pool is the fun part: share the QR code at the baby shower and let guests vote from their phones.

Enough reading — the tool itself is one tap away, and it is free.
