How to use the pregnancy necklace:
===============================
1) When you receive the necklace, place the charm after the bead indicating the number of weeks you are along in your pregnancy (e.g., if you are 15 weeks along, place the charm after bead 15). You would start from the end that has 10 large beads as its first segment.
2) Each week on the same week day as the estimated due date (e.g., Sunday) move charm by one bead.
If you do not know how far along you are in your pregnancy, here is how to calculate it (there is a free online tool – http://www.wolframalpha.com/ – that can help you with date subtractions):
1) Once you find out your estimated due date, note the day of the week (e.g., Sunday, Nov 3, 2013).
2) Subtract 40 weeks to get the start of your pregnancy (e.g., Sunday, Jan 27, 2013).
3) Subtract the start of your pregnancy from the current date (e.g., Tue, May 12) to get number of days (e.g., 107) and divide by 7 to get number of weeks (e.g., 15 weeks 2 days). Place the charm after that bead (e.g., you are now 15 weeks along).
