About
What ShePrep is
ShePrep is a set of pregnancy and fertility calculators — due dates, ovulation windows, growth percentiles, feeding amounts and more — paired with plain-language guides on trying to conceive, pregnancy, and the first year of a baby's life. Every calculator runs in your browser rather than on a server, and every guide names its author, its reviewer, and the sources it draws on.
Who writes it
Pages are written by Andy Hendrick, ShePrep's staff writer. His byline appears on the content he produces, so you always know who wrote what you're reading and can hold that to account.
Who reviews it
Every page is reviewed before publication by Lisa Jackson, a named member of the ShePrep team, whose name appears on every page she has reviewed. Our review today is editorial, not clinical. Lisa checks that each claim traces back to the source cited and that the page reflects it accurately. She is not a registered clinician, and we do not claim clinical sign-off on anything published here — we say that plainly rather than let a review credit imply more than it is.
Contracting a registered clinician to review our health content is a priority for us. When that happens, we will publish their name, credentials, registration body and registration number on every page they review, alongside the date of that review.
Where the information comes from
We source claims from national guidance bodies and peer-reviewed evidence: the NHS and NICE in the UK, ACOG and the CDC in the United States, RANZCOG in Australia and New Zealand, the SOGC in Canada, Tommy's, the World Health Organization, and the Cochrane Library. Every source is cited with the date we read it, and where a claim can only be traced back to another content website rather than one of these bodies, we don't publish it. See how we source our information for the full list of bodies and how we handle guidance that genuinely differs between countries.
How we handle country differences
Advice on some topics — runny eggs, deli meat, which fish are safe — genuinely differs between the UK, the US, Australia and elsewhere. Rather than pick one country's answer and present it as universal, we show you which country's guidance you're reading, name the body behind it, and let you switch to the guidance that applies where you receive your care.
Our editorial standards
Our full editorial process — sourcing, review, corrections, and how advertising stays separate from content — is set out on our editorial guidelines page. Our medical disclaimer explains what this site is and isn't, and what to do if you're worried about something right now rather than reading further.
