A Pregnancy application is a type of app for Android and iOS devices that helps expectant parents keep track of pregnancy milestones. It also provides a wide range of health and wellbeing information.
There are many pregnancy apps on the market, some are more comprehensive than others. The Bump Pregnancy Countdown, for example, provides an interactive week-by-week experience that visualizes your baby’s development through size-specific illustrated charts and images. The app has all the usual features you’d expect, including a contraction timer and kick counter, as well as a wealth of information about labor and delivery.
WebMD Pregnancy is a doctor-approved app that sends you doctor-approved tips and advice to help you stay healthy during your pregnancy. It has a suite of tools that help you keep track of symptoms, track your weight gain, and record the number of baby kicks you feel (something your OB will ask about at appointments).
Pregnancy+ is another popular pregnancy app for Android and iOS that helps expectant mothers manage their health. It has a pregnancy calendar, to-do lists, and a hospital bag checklist, all of which can be customized to match your needs. It also has a community feature, newsfeed, and a curated list of products that pregnant women are likely to need.
The study found that the majority of pregnancy apps reviewed did not provide U.K. nutritional information, and some included inaccurate recommendations. Conclusion: The results of this review highlight the need for reliable pregnancy information resources that are locally based and endorsed by health professionals. These resources need to be incorporated into the design of pregnancy apps and provide a means for pregnant women to access evidence-based, expert-endorsed information about their own health and that of their unborn child.
