Pregnancy, especially the first one, can be extremely perplexing. “Is it okay for my hip to hurt? Is it true that I can’t eat Brie cheese? And what is the kid doing inside when I tap?” and this is only a small part of the questions that may arise.
I’m Expecting
I’m Expecting is arguably the cutest app in this category. The main screen of the application is decorated with precious pictures of newborns, which will distract mothers from future worries and sleepless nights. It sounds too simple, but among the worries and pains that pregnancy brings with it, such photos are the best reminder of all the positive aspects of pregnancy and the arrival of a baby.
I’m Expecting will also include weekly videos on fetal development and pregnancy. You can also monitor your weight during pregnancy, enter information about the baby and his measurements, as well as the growth of the abdomen.
One of the features we liked was the symptom tracking calendar. Just click on the date and enter the symptom and its intensity with which it manifested itself. With this application, you can get an excellent visual aid of how the pregnancy proceeds.
Pregnancy ++
Pregnancy ++ is another great looking app. A fabulous, animated fruit with a golden glow around it floats against the background of information on the main screen, and the menu options are easy to understand. Like other prenatal apps, this $ 3.99 app lets you track your pregnancy daily and weekly, make lists, appointments and reminders, and count your tremors.
The strength of Pregnancy ++ is the ability to observe how the fetus develops each week of pregnancy. You can choose the type of fetal development, it can be either computer animation or 2D or 3D images of ultrasound scanning.
This application does not offer us an official community, but in the section dedicated to names of children, you can find the most popular names for a child, not only in the United States, but also around the world.
Sprout Pregnancy
Sprout Pregnancy costs $ 3.99 however Sprout Pregnancy Lite gives you access to the full app for a two week trial period.
The application has attractive weekly schedules, all the necessary options are present: a shock counter, a reduction timer, a list of necessary items in the hospital and a planner of visits to the doctor, where you can ask pre-recorded questions.
This app looks pretty basic (no official communities, or features for an additional fee), but it’s easy to manage and worth paying attention to.
BabyBump’s
BabyBump’s free app provides daily advice for pregnant women, as well as weekly information on pregnancy and fetal development, has a daily journal to record symptoms, unusual desires, body weight and personal memories, and has access to the community.
The advantage of the BabyBump community is that it is divided into support groups in special situations, such as: military families, high-risk pregnancies, and even the community of single fathers.
Unusual Applications
Most of the users of such apps are mothers, this is what most often pay attention to in reviews. But there are also several applications for future fathers.
The mPregnancy
The mPregnancy app offers many helpful weekly tips and also communicates with the user in the form of a dialogue. However, the app tends to use annoying stereotypes (that a man cannot figure out the size of a fetus unless it is compared to the size of a beer bottle or soccer ball). This app is perfect for a macho who doesn’t really understand what kind of thing is pregnancy?
Whos Your Daddy
Whos Your Daddy is another app that not only uses humor to convey information, but also has useful tools like an abbreviation counter and to-do list (and doesn’t look as silly as mPregnancy).
