The main advantages of I-am-pregnant.com website's this online pregnancy countdown timer are that it is very straightforward, easy to use, and free.

The pregnancy ticker design is also an original one. In early pregnancy, it looks like a blank white puzzle. As the pregnancy advances, pieces of the puzzle fall away, gradually revealing a picture chosen by the pregnant mother (or parents). One puzzle piece falls away every four days, and the pregnancy countdown timer will then indicate how many weeks pregnant a mother is and the number of days left until the ‘due date’.

Use of the pregnancy counter

To use the pregnancy countdown ticker, you simply enter your expected due date (EDD) and select one of the eighteen pictures available. These are pictures of babies (singles or multiples), cute stuffed toys, pandas, kittens etc.

You can also decide to upload your own picture, which is a good thing for two reasons: the pictures available on the web site are not terribly exciting; and uploading your own picture is the only personalized feature of this ticker (other than your EDD).

After inputting your EDD and choosing a picture (or uploading your own), you are given the code to copy and paste unto your web page, blog or signature. You may choose either a “BB code” or an “HTML code”. Even though instructions are very clear and easy to follow, the site includes a “HELP” feature providing examples and screenshots – another advantage.

The disadvantages of this pregnancy counter

• It is not personalized (no feature for adding your name, for example)
• It provides no additional information on pregnancy changes at various stages of pregnancy), as do some other online pregnancy countdown timers.
• The web page looks slightly messy and crowded.
  

Conclusion

The puzzle design is a nice, unique one. Due to the low level of personalization options it is very straightforward to use. However, if you don’t find any of the available pictures suitable for you, you need to upload your own photo or picture for the pregnancy countdown clock.
