Common Questions from New York Expecting Parents

When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment in NYC?

Most NYC obstetricians want to see you around 8-10 weeks into your pregnancy. Use our pregnancy calculator to find your current week, then call to schedule. Popular practices book up quickly, especially in Manhattan.

Which New York hospitals have the best maternity wards?

Top-rated NYC maternity hospitals include NYU Langone (Tisch Hospital), Mount Sinai West, NewYork-Presbyterian (Columbia and Weill Cornell), and Lenox Hill. Many Brooklyn families also love Maimonides and NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn.

Do NYC fertility clinics use different due date calculations?

IVF pregnancies from NYC fertility centers like RMA, CCRM, or NYU Fertility use more precise dating. Use our IVF due date calculator if you had embryo transfer. The calculation differs from natural conception.

How accurate are online pregnancy calculators?

Our calculators are as accurate as the dates you provide. They use standard medical formulas that NYC doctors use. Your due date may be adjusted slightly at your first ultrasound, but our initial calculation gives you an excellent estimate for planning.
