A live birth refers to a pregnancy that results in the birth of a baby showing signs of life. The likelihood of a live birth can be influenced by factors such as maternal age and previous pregnancy outcomes, including live births and pregnancy losses.
This live birth calculator estimates the chance that a future pregnancy will result in a live birth based on large-scale population research. By selecting maternal age and pregnancy history, users can explore how different sequences of outcomes are associated with changes in probability.
