Twenty years ago there was no such thing as “Google-ing it”. If you needed information, you turned to a book, a friend, family member or your doctor.
With over 1 million apps in the Apple App Store, we can all be using this to our advantage. Whether you’re downloading an app for information or to see the different stages of your baby’s growth, there is an endless amount of pregnancy apps out there that are great for mothers-to-be.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the best pregnancy apps for moms-to-be to consider using:
1. My Pregnancy Today
This is an app available on iPhone and Android devices. It’s the app that helps you learn what to expect when you’re expecting. My Pregnancy Today tracks your pregnancy day by day, lets you see how your baby is growing and developing, and allows you to create a checklist so you can set reminders for important appointments and events.
This pregnancy app offers a “Birth Club”, which acts as a forum with advice for first-time parents, as well as people sharing stories and knowledge of parenting. You can search topics about pregnancy that you’re unsure about and always leave advice that you might have for other expecting mothers.
