Pregnancy Baby Tracker - WTE

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt like during the time of finding out you or your partner is pregnant there’s a lot of searching for the right apps, people, or products you should use and so I wanted to make it a little easier for expecting parents to see someone who cares about what they are going through and hopefully you won’t have to continue app searching after my review. I am expecting a baby girl and I am 5 months along. I have used this app since the beginning of my pregnancy and since then have tried a few other apps just making sure i’m using the one I enjoy the most. What to Expect has lots of awesome features hence why I love it. It has an option to show you how much your belly will grow along with your baby size week by week. If i have any upcoming events happening I love to see what to expect when the date comes along! I also really enjoy the fact there are multiple short videos every week for you to watch about what your baby will be developing in the womb week by week. Something else I really like about this app is it has a community area where you can join groups that fit you and you can ask whatever questions you would like or you can read over already asked questions or give advice of your own. It’s a great place for you to feel better when weird side effects come along. Definitely try out this app!

My wife and I are expecting our first, and I love the super accurate tracking and educational videos. I’ve never been involved in a pregnancy, so a lot of development and signs to watch for are completely new to me. The app and tips do an amazing job warning new parents about scary, but totally normal symptoms. I would immediately recommend this app to any expecting people. I do have a few comments on things I wish were a little different. The videos, tips, and language all seem based on a natural pregnancy. There’s an option when logging a pregnancy to choose a 3 or 5 day IVF pregnancy, which ours is. The tracking is completely accurate based on the dates you input with that process, but the following tips and videos are all phrased as if it was a natural pregnancy. For example, I recall being told to get excited for and to schedule our “first scan and look at the little one” despite having been seeing it for a month and a half at that point. Things are also very skewed towards the mother, which I admit is justified; she is the one carrying and growing the baby. I wish there was an option to select “I am the father”, “I am a non-carrying partner” or “This is for our surrogate” and it would trigger either different tips or just change phrasing to “your partner is experiencing xyz, you can do abc to help!”. Personally, I cannot do the kegel exercises I had a tip for yesterday, but I could make sure to buy foods containing minerals, or start practicing diapers and car seat insertions.

I LOVE this app because its really helpful in everything pregnancy. It’s especially a great app for new moms, it keeps you well informed through every step of your pregnancy and gives you detailed explanations on the process of pregnancy and all the changes that are occurring to your body week by week. They predict your due date and weekly show you the size of the baby, the symptoms you may feel, when the fetus develops a heart beat, and all the physical changes that your baby is going through. You get to see very descriptive videos of what’s physically happening inside of you. This app is genius and very insightful from exercise tips to healthy dieting and even give you the best suggestions for prenatal vitamins. They guide you through your pregnancy and help you start up your registry, while sending you a free box of pregnancy goodies. They answer questions you may have about pregnancy without you even having to ask. Overall, the app is very comforting, they make you see how beautiful pregnancy is and calm your worries and anxiety. If you happen to have a miscarriage, this app has a mode for that too. It’s called the healing mode, they explain why things like miscarriages happen and give you comforting readings and resources that you can access to help you throughout your healing process. This app is like having a OB-GYN, therapist and a supportive friend all in one. Trust that with this app you will not feel alone, lost or misinformed throughout your pregnancy. I 10/10 recommend!
