  The Date::Time issue apart, this is a nice idea.

  I remember that during my wife's first pregnancy I wrote a script to tell me what week she was in.

  It is the type of thing that I haven't had time to write at any time since then. :-)

  Good work.

      Hmm... I don't know about what's the habit where you live, but here it's customary to start counting from the start of the last period. So that's well 2 weeks or so, before the actual pregnancy.

      No, it's not just here [birthingnaturally.net].

        Hello,
        
        We use the same calculation methods as described on the page you refer to.
        
        I have created some tests validating the numbers of my calculations against the numbers we got from our own doctor (in the case of my girlfriend's pregnancy) and these are a match (I am currently trying to obtain more test data).
        
        But I do not understand what you are referring to since the methods I use all are based on the first date of the last period (that is common for the 3 methods I have knowledge of), they are not based
