Pregnancy & Baby Tracker - WTE Reviews

I have never written an app review before, this is my first. However, PregnancyBabyTracker is so amazing I had to say something! I cannot believe PregnancyBabyTracker is free. I found out I was pregnant at 28 weeks and I am just 20 yo so as you can imagine, my pregnancy was not planned in the slightest. I had no idea about babies and was freaking out. Finally, another young mom recommended I download PregnancyBabyTracker. It was very helpful during my pregnancy to track baby’s development and for me to keep track of how far along I was for when I was asked at appts. The community chats were also very helpful when I was anxious or had any questions, they made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I thought once my baby was born I’d be deleting PregnancyBabyTracker but boy was I wrong. I go on PregnancyBabyTracker AT LEAST 3 times a day for my own pleasure (read articles, explore features, join chats, etc). They recently added a feeding tracker feature. I knew I wanted to put my baby on a feeding schedule and PregnancyBabyTracker makes logging feedings so easy. I am truly in love with PregnancyBabyTracker, and will continue to use it for a long time.

I’m liking PregnancyBabyTracker- it has daily advice and videos and fun tools to utilize. It also has weekly posts on what’s happening with baby at whatever stage you’re in. I like that it offers advice in all areas of pregnancy and even gives sections on top rated customer reviewed products! Way better than googling it all!

My complaint is in the groups section. Once you put in baby due date info it suggests groups based on estimated month due. While this is cool, I’m finding that the people who Join the group aren’t even pregnant! They are trying to get pregnant and clog up the discussions by posting pics of their pregnancy tests 4 days after they ovulate and desperately ask people “can you see a positive line?!” It really irks me. I know the simple solution is to not go to the group discussions, but I feel it’d be better if they had a “trying to conceive” group and didn’t have anyone join one of month groups until they can enter their due date. My having so many people who are hyper paranoid about trying to conceive in the group it makes it too hard to have discussions with people who are actually on the same trajectory as you and it doesn’t make me want to start a discussion because the majority of the people I see posting aren’t even pregnant.

I thought I found out very early on that I was pregnant. I’m talking three weeks. I was ecstatic! I set up my profile and couldn’t wait to watch my baby grow. But I took more pregnancy tests again and again hoping to get a stronger line to show family and friends. (The original test was pretty strong there was no denying it was positive I just wanted more before telling family). But time and again all I got were negatives. Turns out I had gotten the rare and elusive false positive. I got my period about a week and a half after said positive. It broke my heart to have to say I wasn’t pregnant and that we wouldn’t be expecting our first. But I didn’t lose the pregnancy there just never was one. So it made me feel like a failure for not getting pregnant in the first place and an imposter for all those mommas out there hurting because they’d lost theirs. I wish you had another option for closing out the profile not just loss or birth. Perhaps a mistake or accidental set up. That is my only complaint about PregnancyBabyTracker . Otherwise I loved all the information at my fingertips which would definitely help me from going down the google black hole.

I love PregnancyBabyTracker! It’s a great tool during pregnancy and keeps me completely in-the-know about what’s happening in my body. I get so excited each week to open it up and watch my weekly video, my husband watched the videos with me so we both know exactly what’s happening and developing. Knowing what the baby looks like and having an idea of what’s growing that week makes the experience even more exciting to me. I love being informed, it makes me feel more at ease. PregnancyBabyTracker definitely helps with that.
I also love the community message boards - for the most part. I try to only look at them a couple times a week, some women post things that can make me feel worried or I compare myself to them. I have to remind myself that every pregnancy is different! And I try to keep myself from opening the “scary” posts that could make me feel uneasy or stressed out. Even though I totally understand why someone with concerns would post to a message board - I just overthink! Overall, PregnancyBabyTracker is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone!

PregnancyBabyTracker is nice in that it shows you your pregnancy’s progress and allows you to know some fun facts about your baby’s development each week. But - beware of the community boards. I thought it would be nice to bond with women in the same stage of pregnancy. Talk about good products or talk about your symptoms. There is some of that, but very little. Instead you find the first month or two it’s just a bunch of women posting their negative pregnancy tests asking if we somehow see a positive line in the picture that they don’t see, then it’s mostly very uneducated posts asking people to guess gender based on Chinese calendars or your gut feeling. Many moms to be give really bad advice, like eating dangerous foods, being ok with smoking as long as you’re trying to quit at some point, and other really shocking things. I feel like no one posts anything from a reliable source and a lot of what is asked could be so easily googled. I try to answer with data because I feel bad for people who truly don’t know and are possibly causing harm, but the amount of encouragement for people who are choosing to remain uneducated is very high. I would stay away from the boards.

i'm not going to lie i'm 18 years old and i got pregnant not on purpose, PregnancyBabyTracker has REALLY taken away the stress and anxiety away of not knowing what's going on. you can have your family and friends tell you things here and there but PregnancyBabyTracker just... it just makes you feel good. there's no judgment, it's like celebrating the fact you're pregnant which for someone like me in my case really helps. PregnancyBabyTracker actually tells you a lot about the baby and the baby's development, down to what's organs are forming that week. the other great thing is it offers you help with finding things you would need to buy for your baby and how to get good deals and whatnot. honestly it's a really easy to use app that helps a lot, so if you are pregnant or trying to be PregnancyBabyTracker is a great lil tool to have. (also the whole function of PregnancyBabyTracker is so cute and simple but not to simple, really helps get a break from all the crazy... everything😅)

PregnancyBabyTracker provides very little information to expectant mothers, a few short non-meaningful articles and the size of the baby as it develops. The videos are absolutely horrid. The email spam is ridiculous. The community, especially Hot Topics is an echo chamber for bitter, miserable women who will beat down anyone who do not agree with them politically. When I say echo chamber, it’s just that. Even to the point where some of the regulars create new accounts with different user names just to agree with themselves in a debate. WTE is obviously ran by people who are politically left, as they allow anyone with leftist ideology to bully and name call those who aren’t. It’s an extremely toxic environment - with women who have been around since the beginning of PregnancyBabyTracker . Ugh. I don’t recommend this at all to anyone who actually wants to enjoy their pregnancy, stress free and untainted by the miserable musings of rich stay at home left leaning women who feel superior to everyone else. They have found a sounding board to spend their miserable lives in and cyber bully people who aren’t like them and then pat each other on the backs and comfort each other about what great sensitive caring people they are. Find something better to do, there are certainly more informative less ridiculous pregnancy apps out there.

I’ve used PregnancyBabyTracker my whole pregnancy, 37 weeks now and baby boy will be here soon!! I love PregnancyBabyTracker so much I have learned so much about pregnancy because of PregnancyBabyTracker. I love the community of women on PregnancyBabyTracker as well, everyone is so helpful I always come here to ask questions. Every week PregnancyBabyTracker has been pretty spot on new symptoms that will arise at that time of pregnancy. Just appreciate PregnancyBabyTracker so much thank you!

Update: gave birth to beautiful baby boy he is 4 weeks now. Not only was PregnancyBabyTracker great during my pregnancy it gets even better for my postpartum! Every week I get emails regarding the health and development that my baby May experience and it is so spot on! It’s like as soon as I notice something different about my babe I’m getting an email from WTE detailing what it is. It’s crazy how it’s so on track with the babies development. I love the articles on there you learn so much inform and I love the WTE community!

I totally love PregnancyBabyTracker! As my mother’s children are all adults she remembered very few things to advise me of to expect with my little one. PregnancyBabyTracker has helped me in more ways than I can write about. Every time I check in on PregnancyBabyTracker it’s like they know my kid lol. A lot of the times he would have done something and I check PregnancyBabyTracker and I don’t read about it during the month we are in on PregnancyBabyTracker but it will be in the very next month and I would be in total shock that they have this baby thing down to a T. That also helps me understand that my child is on the right track and may be slightly ahead on things. I had a baby during the beginning of the pandemic so all of my baby classes were canceled and no reschedule. PregnancyBabyTracker made me feel like I didn’t miss a thing by missing out of classes. They would have videos and monthly reads on baby. I just can’t say enough how much I looooovveeee PregnancyBabyTracker.

Gives lots of little tips and tricks and answers questions that you don’t really think of . Then again there’s plenty of things that u do wonder that they tell you almost at the perfect time of them telling it to you. Gives little videos that instruct you what is good or bad for you and your baby . All in all it’s a very good little app. I love it that it prompts me how big she is and how heavy she is and of course how far I am. That’s always something your trying to add up in the beginning and it’s right there for ya. Haha . Very nifty little app. Maybe add in a couple of things like what we should eat how often we should eat etc . My babies weight is low and I’d love to know how to make it increase naturally especially the last weeks that I’m in (I’m 33weeks along) they’re suppose to gain 1/2 lb each week according to PregnancyBabyTracker and my dr so knowing what could help increase her weight would be very “helpful” haha
Thanks!

It took me years to consider even having a child. Then years to actually get pregnant. Now in my wise old age ( don’t you dare ask!) I felt like I actually knew nothing!! What to Expect book was a godsend and answered so many questions I didn’t knew I had. So when I found the WTE app, it was an easy option for tracking my pregnancy and most helpful postpartum. I shared PregnancyBabyTracker with my mother-in-law and we gabbed endlessly about our growing new family member. It was a perfect way to bond with her

The weekly emails and access to interesting articles gave me life while sitting in bed with a baby attached to my body!! Articles take you week by week on what actually to expect!! From fetal development, expecting symptoms, to baby sleep and eating cycles!! Again knowing nothing before motherhood, I felt totally engaged and informed reading through PregnancyBabyTracker and site!! I would encourage mothers of every age to download PregnancyBabyTracker !!!

PregnancyBabyTracker is a fun way to start learning about how your body is changing, and what is happening with your baby.

It gives you bite size information each day that provides useful tips such as diet tips, nausea support, and what to expect for that week. Certain articles go into greater detail, and I always read them to be as informed as possible.

Of course certain books or articles may provide greater discourse on topics, but this is an easy, flexible way to build the habit of learning more about you and your baby. A unique feature of PregnancyBabyTracker that you will not find is the community section where you can ask questions or comment on other community members’ questions. I will recommend PregnancyBabyTracker to any pregnant friends or family members. Thank you What to Expect! It would be fun to if they made one for partners—an account that can link, so partners can stay informed too :)

As others have said, the censorship is a huge problem. Some of the community is also pretty toxic as well. The funny thing is, the moderators do absolutely nothing about the disrespectful people in the community, but are quick to delete posts that don’t fit their agenda because they claim it’s “false information” or “disinformation”. I shared an abstract section of a scientific article based on factual toxicology reports, written by a medical scientist. It was used to just simply share information and I wasn’t declaring it to be “truth” and I was respectful, but nonetheless, WTE deleted it. So basically WTE picks and chooses which science is correct and if you disagree, you are accused of spreading misinformation. Also, people in groups have came forward, stating how the disrespect from some users makes them uncomfortable posting or interacting with other people. It’s a big problem, yet WTE moderators are more concerned about comments that indicate any degree of being pro-life. I really liked PregnancyBabyTracker at first and have been a frequent user, but after seeing where WTE’s priorities lie, I may need to find a different community. I think WTE would benefit from hiring unbiased moderators

I love PregnancyBabyTracker as it is super helpful to me and it shows me symptoms I’m having and I’m able to verify they are normal. I also love reading what the baby is doing in my belly and how she is developing, however, the size of my baby is not accurate. I’m 19 weeks and 2 days as of right now and PregnancyBabyTracker is saying she is as big as a mango. But, last week PregnancyBabyTracker stated she’s as large as a cucumber. So I went ahead and skipped to week 20 and it’s staying she will be 6.5 inches, then I skipped to week 21 after that and it said she will be 11 inches. That did not seem right to me, so I went ahead and googled how big she will be around 21 weeks and google says 7 inches. I know my OBGYN and ultrasound can show me how large she actually is, but it would be nice to know while I’m at home the actual size of her because I have to wait 2-3 weeks, sometimes 4 to see her on ultrasound.

Even after many, MANY reports and emails to the moderators and admins of PregnancyBabyTracker, they continue to allow users to bully, harass, and make others feel stupid for the questions they ask on the community boards. I have screenshots to prove it. I am due soon with twins and the “multiples” board is by far the worst. They allow one particular user to run this board, post whatever she wants, bump it several times a day even though they don’t allow “spam” and allow her to berate and ridicule others for the questions they ask. This is by far the worst app and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.. especially someone expecting more than one baby. I’ve already posted one review here and it was deleted so the “5 stars” they currently have is only because they delete bad reviews. And before the admins respond to this review telling me to contact you by email, I’ve already done that, multiple times and I get no response and you’ve done nothing to improve the issues on the multiples board. Again, just stay away from PregnancyBabyTracker. Go to babycenter or somewhere the mods and admins actually care.

I love PregnancyBabyTracker and use it daily to read articles and updates about my baby. I also really like the communities and groups, but one thing about it irks me. I’m part of September 2020 babies because my EDD is Sept 16 but I see lots of women posting there that are only a few weeks along and most likely due in December and January. There needs to be a way to fix this as they clog up the threads with first trimester questions and constant worry of losing their babies. They also post questions and pictures of their pregnancy tests asking if group thinks it’s a positive or not. It’s annoying as the group is passed this stage and want to discuss second trimester issues and beyond.

Another issue I have is PregnancyBabyTracker constantly referring to my baby boy as “her” or “she” and is predominantly geared towards female babies. Every article, video and baby update refers to baby as a girl. After I found out the gender I changed it on PregnancyBabyTracker but it still continues to call my baby boy by female pronouns, which I don’t appreciate.

I’m very disappointed in PregnancyBabyTracker, as I thought it would be a great way to track the size of our baby between appointments, knowing it of course wouldn’t be exact. I have PregnancyBabyTracker on my phone, and my husband has it on his phone. All the same information entered about our pregnancy but it rarely has the same information regarding size. We are 38 weeks currently, and it’s telling me that she’s the size of a small watermelon, 19-20in & 7lb, where his days she’s the size of Swiss chard 19-22in & 6.5lb. Again I know it won’t sync with exactly how big our baby is, but I don’t understand why our apps are telling us two different things. SOME of the articles/videos are appropriate but they don’t always cater to the season, or where you are in the pregnancy, which is annoying, as pre-pregnancy stuff is useless to me.
Then as others have mentioned, there is the amount of spam emails received, to the point where I unsubscribed to the emails because it was annoying and way too much.
Overall I think next time I’m pregnant I will be finding a different app to use, as this one has been very lacking!

I don’t usually ever write reviews but PregnancyBabyTracker has helped me in ways I can never repay so it’s only fair. I swear PregnancyBabyTracker would tell me everything I needed to know and has saved me and my husband from worrying about anything. As a first time mom, Anytime I get a new symptom I was concerned about and wondering if it was normal, my husband would say “Did you check PregnancyBabyTracker ?” And usually when I opened it and read that week’s message my symptom would be addressed!

I really feel like PregnancyBabyTracker was like an obgyn in my pocket! My actual doctors appointments were not at all satisfying, I was always rushed and didn’t get to ask many questions. They also never told me what to expect that month. Thankfully PregnancyBabyTracker told me what to expect every week! And even now that I have the baby, there are weekly updates on what to expect from him! Thanks for saving a first time mom from worrying! I hope you guys see this and know that I’m eternally grateful !

I greatly recommend PregnancyBabyTracker for 1st time pregnancies & high risk/complicated pregnancies. Pregnancy is scary! But PregnancyBabyTracker allows you to ease your mind some. App gives interesting & accurate information about your baby AND your body! Information is very thorough, yet explained/written in a way that’s understandable (Even provides pictures). App also has a simple layout, which makes navigating/searching topics easy.
APP HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Weekly growth tracking of baby -become informed with what’s happening to ur baby inside the womb. Information is throughly explained + u can view pictures & watch videos. (It’s cool to compare with your dr visits & ultrasounds)
2. Weekly tracking/explanation of changes ur body goes thru, will go thru & WHY it must do so - Start to truly understand & become in tune with ur body. (Things u may normally go to the dr for is probably just an annoying pregnancy symptom)
3. Able to Look ahead for u & baby - want to know when those Charlie horses will stop happening in the middle of the night?! Download PregnancyBabyTracker! Lol
4. Baby’s size is compared to fruit & a few other things that’ll fascinate you & make you giggle.
5. Helpful & informative articles available for numerous pregnancy topics.
6. Due date/Account Easy to change/update - had 2 unsuccessful pregnancies, used app for all 3 pregnancies & was easy to update & prior information was deleted.

It has cool week to week updates on how your baby is developing but so do many other apps. The discussion boards are supposed to be a place where you can talk from one mom to another and get support. Instead it’s a place for keyboard warriors (some who aren’t pregnant) to harass, bully and curse at you. No hormonal expecting mother deserves that treatment from strangers. I was excited to connect with other moms at first but it turned sour fast. There is no way to delete a post you make or a comment. So you just continue to get bullied and PregnancyBabyTracker does nothing about it. When I went to delete my account there is no button to do so. You have to email their support team and it took two days. I told them that I was being bullied and mentioned that there should be a delete button on the discussion board and for your account without the lengthy process and they ignored me, even though in the email they sent it said “ If you any further questions, please don't hesitate to reply and let me know.” Don’t get PregnancyBabyTracker. I suggest downloading Baby Center.

PregnancyBabyTracker is amazing. This is my first pregnancy and PregnancyBabyTracker gives just as much or as little information a as I want. It has been more helpful than my pregnancy books! It doesn’t promote a culture of fear around pregnancy, there are great guidelines for managing symptoms and preparing for doctor visits and there a forums with great advice. There are updates and videos that help you follow the development of your little one and help you share the progress with friends and family. The development videos are my favorite. I look forward to them every week and they walk you through every step of what’s going on accurately and gently. The most helpful part for me has been the weekly “your body” section. It has helped me to keep my sanity and help me figure out what in the world is happening with my body and is reassuring of how normal a lot of these initially concerning symptoms are. I highly recommend PregnancyBabyTracker!

I have PregnancyBabyTracker for my first pregnancy and so far everything on it is helpful 👏🏽 only reason I didn’t put 5!star is because I know PregnancyBabyTracker will get even better as it updates.
Update Aug 2018: PregnancyBabyTracker has been so amazing especially for first time mom, sometimes you just don’t want to call the doc and ask a question that just might seem stupid or ask family member question and not sound so annoying about thing or them just criticizing you about your parenting. PregnancyBabyTracker lets you speak your mind and real mom out there answer to your questions or to you just venting your mind. It’s also helpful to get updates as your baby grows and gives you facts and helpful tips. PregnancyBabyTracker just has so much valuable information for one to read and look up and they recommend many things as well. You must try it out even if you use one part of PregnancyBabyTracker . It’s is worth it!

I love PregnancyBabyTracker and all the great info it offers, but I especially appreciate that PregnancyBabyTracker and its creators were thoughtful enough to add features that allow you to unfollow the news letter and shut off notifications. During my last pregnancy I was super excited and I added several apps to my phone, but my pregnancy ended tragically and I lost my baby. With other apps I wasn’t able to unsubscribe from their news letters and I continued to get painful reminders of how big my baby would have been getting. I also wasn’t able to delete my account on other apps, all I could do was delete PregnancyBabyTracker . PregnancyBabyTracker allowed me to do all of that and then gently offered resources for my grieving and sent me a, “We’re so sorry for your loss,” email and that was it. I appreciate that so much and it’s now the only app I’ll use.

This is by far my favorite app to use to during my pregnancy 🤰❤️! It’s so informative and tells me absolutely everything I need to know about my growing baby and body. My husband even downloaded it and uses it to track our babies growth 🙌🏻. The articles are so helpful and often times are even a topic I discuss with my doctor 😀. I used PregnancyBabyTracker with my first pregnancy along with a few others but liked this one so much more that it’s now the only app I use with my second pregnancy ❤️. The community is amazing and so helpful. I love my group and have actually made some great local mom friends through PregnancyBabyTracker . I highly recommend PregnancyBabyTracker to all parents to be!

You can post Muh as you’d like and there’s always someone in the similar situation to reply , always helpful and makes you feel less alone !!
keeps track of you and baby’s health and size ! Also has recommendations on products you can use also great.
Two things I would add as options is a tab where you can view all you own posts to look back on , review and save things from.
Also another tab where you can keep a list of products or things you need yourself ! Similar to a mini baby registry except you can add things you need as well along w side notes ! I don’t know how many countless times I’ve had really good suggestions and had to go back find my post, scroll through all the responses to find the info , I think these two suggestions would really up and add to the already great app!
recommend to any mama !

1. I love PregnancyBabyTracker and would also give it five stars but I just noticed that when I’m reading an article and need to switch to another app (which I do when taking notes or logging Baby movement) or even just press home or anything else, PregnancyBabyTracker returns to home page and I lost my place.

It’s particularly frustrating if I’m reading an article I arrived at from links within a home page article. Lucky if it’s only one link away but sometimes I could go more than three deep.

It’s actually enough to put one off from reading anything in depth or browsing through PregnancyBabyTracker at all. Presently I have to finish an article before doing anything else - which will not always happen - or just count the article as lost and get tired of having to search for it every time.

iPhone 7plus, iOS 11.3.1 up to date.

2. I like the videos that have a summary at the end so don’t have to go through it, especially if you’ve seen it before. Some of the interviews would benefit from that so I could just scrub to the end. Sometimes I just don’t feel like watching people and it’s faster to read so I prefer to “read” some of the videos. It’s about content anyway and not production value.

Update: worse than I thought - even searches get lost completely if you move out of PregnancyBabyTracker . You are brought back to home and have to start again. :(

I haven’t downloaded other apps like this, I read the reviews and seen it had the most downloads and here we are. It’s so nice and convenient, I can’t give it 5 stars because I’m a critic and what if there’s better but I don’t know ? So 5 or 4 I found no problems other then pesky ads but what app doesn’t have those these days ( I mean like free apps of course). So yeah, if you really want your baby and the best care for your little nugget then PregnancyBabyTracker is a huge help. Too many outlets and articles to help you out. And it’s just and app, you don’t need to feel embarrassed by asking anyone (if you do) and can always lean on PregnancyBabyTracker for lots of help. But not all of it of course, talk to your providers if you really need assistance with anything and can’t find it on PregnancyBabyTracker. I don’t write reviews but I’m pregnant and Happy with my results and PregnancyBabyTracker. Happy first time momma ! Lol

I use PregnancyBabyTracker multiple times every day however it is extremely frustrating when I’m typing out a long blog post and my Low Power battery signal pops up interrupting and I lose everything I’ve typed! Or it just shuts down randomly while I’m in the middle of typing something and when I click back into PregnancyBabyTracker it’s back at the home screen. They need to develop the software to SAVE the last spot you were on, and save whatever you’ve typed as a draft if you haven’t completed it for situations like that. I love the information on there but it is by far the most frustrating app I use due to it being so unfriendly when it shuts itself down or when anything interrupts, text, call, low battery, and makes you lose what you were on. I hope to see a fix for this one day. Then it would be a 5 star review for sure!

I loved PregnancyBabyTracker when I used it for my daughter who was born in 2016. It was a supportive place where people helped each other through the difficulties and triumphs of pregnancy. It has great information and good resources. When I had my son in 2018, it was a much different experience. Since I had already had a child, many of the resources were not useful and the “communities” have become a place for internet trolls to attack other moms. Many of the boards become a place where there is constant arguing and attacking. When you reported another user for personal attacks or profanity, the comment you reported gets taken down but nothing is done to the user even after repeat offenses. For this reason I had to delete PregnancyBabyTracker because of the amount of negativity it brought into my life. I rated it 2 stars only because it does have great resources and it is helpful if you are a FTM.

PregnancyBabyTracker is clean and simple to use, providing expectant parents with very quick daily tips only a few sentences long. This makes for a great little boost during the day when you’re thinking about your growing baby and just want a little tidbit of information.

The one caveat is that some of the articles can feel a bit alarmist. Sometimes there are suggestions for an over abundance of caution that are actually not strictly necessary. This type of thinking is certainly cultural in the US (just try Googling an American list of what pregnant women shouldn’t eat, and you’ll see!), and “What to Expect” is not nearly as bad as some other sites at promoting these types of hyper vigilant information.

I would definitely recommend PregnancyBabyTracker more than others.
