BabyCenter Pregnancy Tracker Reviews

I had a miscarriage and I had to delete my pregnancy from your app. 1- it’s horrible that BabyCenterPregnancyTracker doesn’t have any miscarriage support like my other apps do and you can’t even use BabyCenterPregnancyTracker unless you log that you are currently pregnant. Once you delete a pregnancy it just kicks you out.
2- I keep getting their emails for daily digest including things such as “I heard my baby’s heartbeat and I’m in awe!” That I received today. I would have LOVED to hear the heartbeat but instead I was told there wasn’t one. It was so painful to read that. My other pregnancy apps immediately stopped sending me these emails and instead sent me emails for miscarriage support articles.
3- even though I deleted the pregnancy from BabyCenterPregnancyTracker . I got a notification on my phone today updating me on my baby’s growth, how my baby SHOULD have grown by now. Again, my other apps obviously stopped doing this knowing how painful it is to see that after a miscarriage.

1/4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is HORRIBLE at helping women through this. If anything it has made my miscarriage experience more painful. Whoever created BabyCenterPregnancyTracker has apparently never had or thought of someone who has had a miscarriage. It’s horrible painful and very insensitive of them. I’m already broken enough over this, and BabyCenterPregnancyTracker has made it worse.

I just downloaded BabyCenterPregnancyTracker to track size and the right days and weeks so can keep close eye on how far I am to my due date of March 26, 2021 as of yesterday aug 4, 2020 I was 6 weeks and 4 days I got on it today to see if it is calculating correctly and yet it still had aug 4th when today is aug 5th and so I tried to refresh it wouldn’t then I went to feedback and settings and back to home page it did end changing the date to correct date which is aug 5th but still states I’m 6 weeks and 4 days when the correct number of weeks and days for aug 5th would be 6 weeks and 5 days not 4 days for that was yesterday I know I went to my doctor yesterday so it should refresh every day and state correct date as well as correct week and day of how far along I are if nothing gets done about this I’ll recommend others to use an different app and not this one for it lacks right information and doesn’t refresh like should or when move page up to refresh and I will delete and find an better working app that is correct and works great and does refresh and has correct date and right weeks and days as well as days left til due date too for that effects things like baby weight size growth information and etc if isn’t correct on weeks days nor the right date and doesn’t refresh and lacks on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker and it is very important for people expecting to know the correct things

My baby turned one year old yesterday. I turned in BabyCenterPregnancyTracker , excited to read some more but it was still on page 11 month, 4 weeks. No further information, no celebratory message for growing with them for a year, no recommendation for the years to come, no farewell message, nothing. You'd think, if everything comes to an end on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker , that they would maybe give us an ending of some sort? I guess I'll just delete it now. Thanks for being an almost daily visit for nearly two years. Byyye...

-original review follows.

I have had a great time with BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. Very useful articles and videos and I love the polls and progression. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to watch videos lately, in my last month, when videos are teaching me a lot. Why? Because I'm guessing you don't screen the ads that are used. I've had to avoid scary things my whole pregnancy because these hormones give me terrible nightmares. I also have a phobia of dolls. So imagine my dismay when every time I open a video lately, it starts with a trailer for upcoming movies that feature killer dolls. Fun... So now I'm missing out on informative videos that I really want to watch and could learn so much from.

I have been using BabyCenterPregnancyTracker/site for all of my pregnancies. My son (3), my daughter (1) and my up and coming addition. I have become reliant on the information that is provided (even after knowing what to expect) and attached to the support chat rooms. I have found virtually all of the information that I needed with the exception of this....

I am expecting TWINS! There is very little support on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker for a mommy expecting multiples. It would be helpful to know the week-by-week updates as it applies to someone brewing two or more lives inside them. While there is support in the “search” option, it would be nice to customize my immediate profile equip with growth updates, tips, and where to find the physical support groups in my area.

The organization that provides the amazing entity that is BabyCenter has shocked me that mommys of multiples are not offered similar features as those of singles. I guess you never know what’s missing until it applies to you, otherwise I would have never known this area of support was missing for a specific market. I hope this is added in the future for other moms out their baking multiple buns at once!

I did my research before downloading a baby app. I'm on my 3rd child and I still found useful info in BabyCenterPregnancyTracker that helped me gain a better understanding of my baby before and after birth. The amount of knowledge that is at your finger tips just within BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is amazing. They really did their research. Everything I was feeling or questioning would pop up as a post right when it should. It was like a mind reader. Really helped me be more confident during my pregnancy. So glad I got BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. My sister had another top rated app and I convinced her to try BabyCenter. She loves BabyCenterPregnancyTracker way more. DOWNLOAD NOW! No regrets.

Update: I love how BabyCenterPregnancyTracker does not leave you behind after you have given birth. I was surprised that it still tracked my baby by week AFTER birth. It is helping me as a new mom again(8 years apart) with useful info week by week. I'm getting back into the newborn baby game. BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is always a step ahead. It's that support you never knew you needed.

BabyCenterPregnancyTracker has been a Godsend for me throughout my pregnancy and during the first part of my baby's life. There is so much information and articles for just about any question I have. I am thankful for resources like this one and wonder how people functioned without them! I appreciate how positive and encouraging the articles are. Particularly the ones about problems. For example, my baby had jaundice when he was born. Reading the article about jaundice on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker was extremely informative and also encouraging. My hospital experience regarding jaundice was not so calm, so having something to read to tell me everything would be ok was very helpful. I also love the polls. It's interesting to see what others are experiencing that use BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. My only piece of criticism is that I wish that BabyCenterPregnancyTracker did not repeat articles so much. Some of the same articles I read during my first trimester popped back up in the third trimester. This is just a minor annoyance though!

I used BabyCenterPregnancyTracker 8 years ago with my first pregnancy and I really LOVED it! Back then they had short animated videos of the baby in the belly and what the baby may be doing along with videos of real women being pregnant. They have a live real vaginal birth at the 40 week mark and I loved seeing that! I couldn’t remember the name of BabyCenterPregnancyTracker because it’s been 8 years but luckily apple saves apps even with changing phones and having it deleted from my physical phone. I saw a pregnancy app that already in my cloud (thank god) and downloaded it again to my current phone and logged in! Loved the changes and how updated BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is and all of the information that is within BabyCenterPregnancyTracker !

The ONLY thing I would add would be the live animated videos and the videos of actual mommas at least one per trimester to help out the 1st time mommas. 8 years ago as a first time momma I really enjoyed watching those videos, now the second time around I don’t need them but it would be cool to see at least the animated videos of each week of the baby and what the baby can do. But all around BabyCenterPregnancyTracker surpasses them all and it’s for FREE which is my fave part, your also connected with other mommas real time via a forum!

dude i love BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. i love learning week by week what our little one is up to in there. this is my first child so i really utilize all the tools, articles, tidbits, and fun facts to be more aware of the little person im growing. i get so excited reading what vegetable or fruit our baby is likened to during that week in terms of size. ive made it a weekly treat for me to wait until the day of each new week to look at the baby's stats and it helps keep me motivated and informed and excited about what to expect! easy to navigate, countless publications from experts and moms, and fun to use. today im 37 weeks (im not crying, you are) and looking back from when i first downloaded BabyCenter, i really appreciate BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. it's actually gotten me through some tough times throughout my pregnancy by reminding me what a blessing and triumph and miracle it is to become and to be a mom. super duper grateful :,) go moms! we're superheroes and dont let anyone make you feel differently!

I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant and I just wanted something that would track my weeks and my baby’s estimated growth since I’m very forgetful. Each week there’s a section about your baby’s development, their length and weight, and a section about your own personal changes. It’s so informative and that’s really all I downloaded BabyCenterPregnancyTracker for. One of the tools I love is the “Is it Safe?” tool. It’s quick and easy to look for whether or not something is safe to do or have during pregnancy, I use it all the time when I’m unsure about something. There’s suggested articles to read each week as well as ones that directly relate to safety in the tool. So many other fun features on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker that I have yet to explore. What I probably said was confusing but just give BabyCenterPregnancyTracker a try, you’ll probably really like it

Honorable mention- you can take “bumpies” or a pic of ur baby bump to track its growth. Haven’t tried it but that’s a cute feature I’d like to try sometime

BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is amazing and very informative. I was able to keep up with my pregnancy by the week. I love the weekly alerts that let me know when how far along I was. I also love the information provided about the baby per week as far as how big they are, what is going on with them in the womb and also what is going on with my body. BabyCenterPregnancyTracker definitely helped with any concerns I’ve had about becoming a new mother. I also love that there is a section for when your baby is born so you can keep track of things like meal time and sleep which is super convenient! I rate BabyCenterPregnancyTracker a 10/10! I have only tried one other app and I found BabyCenterPregnancyTracker to be way better! Keep up the great work Baby center!!! Also there are way more perks in BabyCenterPregnancyTracker but you will have to download it to find out! One spoiler though, they have a contraction counter! How cool is that? It definitely helped me to determine when I needed to get to the hospital with my unborn baby in time to meet her! Again 10/10 BabyCenter!

This is exactly what I’ve needed my whole pregnancy, labor, training etc. I was scared at first when I found out because I don’t have any parents to teach me to parent and I haven’t had much of a good influence. I basically just learned what not to do my whole life. But BabyCenterPregnancyTracker really changed that. my son is already 8 months old and he’s a perfect baby all thanks to BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. Everyone around me says he’s the happiest baby they’ve seen... Also thanks to BabyCenterPregnancyTracker.... my pregnancy wasn’t all that scary... Everytime I felt horrible or different I’d look it up and it’d tell me it’s heartburn which means my baby has hair now or some crazy cool fact that made it less terrifying to change in a way like this. It’s much harder to google things based off of feeling especially when there’s a handbook for each day right here. Thank you for all your help. I will say the only downfall is that they keep calling my son a her... so when I read it out loud to my boyfriend he gets confused🤣

This is a great app! We have used BabyCenterPregnancyTracker for all three of our precious babies and it has been a great resource! When us women are pregnant, each week is crucial to a developing baby, so I loved reading what parts of our baby was developing what week, what foods were especially good to eat, how big they’re measuring etc! And this time around, our older two are 6 and 4, our 6 year old can read and he was interested in reading about his baby brother growing and what they were doing and our daughter would give me check ups after reading the articles together and repeat back to me how he was doing! Also I love the articles at the bottom of the home page, more great resources for us moms to feel more connected to one another or not so alone on our journey! Each pregnancy is different, just like each baby and each kid is different, but I love how easy it is to track the big and small milestones on here! Definitely download!

I absolutely love BabyCenterPregnancyTracker!! BabyCenterPregnancyTracker includes a detailed insight of your pregnancy week by week as well as a picture of what your child looks like in your womb. Also, it includes dos and don’ts, milestones during your pregnancy and for your child, and information on any topic that may pertain to your pregnancy, lifestyle, and even your child. I was a first time mother who had just delivered her first child in April 2021 so BabyCenterPregnancyTracker was beyond insightful on everything that I needed to know so and there is even multiple group chat threads that you can ask another mother out there a or you may just have information that you think other mothers should know without there being any judgement. Even after I had my child, every week I was informed about milestones and information that my child may be experiencing. BabyCenterPregnancyTracker literally has everything that I needed to know so it was the only app I used during my pregnancy, which I was glad about it, and even after I had my baby I continue to use it.

I’ve used BabyCenterPregnancyTracker and several others ever since I became pregnant in April of 2020, and BabyCenter is by far the best compared to the others out there. The articles and information while pregnant is great, but I wasn’t expecting to keep getting personalized articles about my child’s development and the best ways to help him along as he’s grown. He’s now over a year old, and I still get an article every week talking about what’s going on inside his developing mind and body. It’s really helpful as a parent, even if sometimes you just need to hear that you’re not the only one whose toddler is attached to their leg at all times and enjoys dumping an entire plate of freshly made food onto the floor after taking one bite. The bumpdate picture tracker is also great for pregnancy, and now I really like to use the growth tracker to see what percentile my kid is in after every doctor’s visit. All in all, if you’re looking for a pregnancy app that also helps you along once the baby makes their appearance, I highly suggest BabyCenter!

Free App, better than the others that charge. I downloaded 5 pregnancy apps and of all of them this one was my favorite AND free. I put it on the home screen while the rest I’ve been checking to see if there’s anything different and you’re not missing out on important info by paying for the other ones. I think the information on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is more positive and correct. I notice other apps like “What To Expect” especially is behind on the latest data and feeds the inner victim/negative expectations around pregnancy that I feel is a marketing tool more than a helpful thing. Things I knew before being pregnant like nail polish is hormone/reproductive disruptive, What To Expect was WAY off on the safety of that and other things and clearly didn’t do their research when the ingredients are right there for their “experts”. So I dropped them and went with BabyCenterPregnancyTracker which was the most accurate, positive, informative, and easy to use/navigate. Doesn’t pop up with annoying “upgrade” prompts either!

We are first time pregnant/parents! I really thought BabyCenterPregnancyTracker was great! The milestones that I would personally hit during my pregnancy were pretty spot on according to the week by week notifications! I found it very cute and exciting to be able to see her growth compared to vegetables and fruit during our pregnancy! We had a lot of fun with it! Our daughter was born 2 days after her due date, so we were able to see where we were at each week on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker! I’m not a huge book person, so this was a much easier way to stay in tune to what already happened or what we could expect to happen! Sometimes we were like, oh that already happened last week or two weeks ago! Other times we would be excited and what was going to happen soon! I thought it was also very helpful because it gave us an idea on what to expect and gave ideas of what to ask the OBGYN doctors and nurses! I have been using it even since she was born and we are going on five months old now! Very helpful app!!! We will definitely use BabyCenterPregnancyTracker for our next pregnancy!

Since I was pregnant until now, nearly five years ago, and two kids later. I’ve been using BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. The amount of knowledge I’ve gained is so valuable to me, I always share it with my husband and friends. Its made me a more confident in rearing my children and finding what works for us best. I don’t freak out about much in their development either, because I know what’s coming. Most of the time my mommy-gut feeling about a growth spurt is on point! However, knowing what behaviors accompany those developmental milestones helps you evaluate what’s “normal” and feel at ease. Baby Center has helped me understand what my kids are going through and how to help them get through the transition. And most importantly- why I shouldn’t get so frustrated with them, as its not so easy on the LOs or us. I’ve used BabyCenterPregnancyTracker religiously since they were born, and will continue to for as long as you provide info on their age. I look forward to your emails in my inbox and I try not to skip any, otherwise I feel like I’m missing out on a gem about my own child. Love you Baby Center, keep up the good work!!!

BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is great for tracking pregnancy, labor and delivery, as well as early childhood. The only thing I didn't like is comparing a fetal size to esoteric vegetables I couldn't relate to- wish they would use more common household items. Otherwise, the tips and suggestions were right on cue. The contraction timer was absolutely fabulous, and we used it extensively during labor. It included a “time from last contraction”, so we could anticipate the next one. Knowing the length of contraction allowed us to anticipate the peak and resolution of each one- a godsend. Now we're expiring the early childhood component of it. So far, so good.

Once our little one arrived, I have loved the ongoing guidance and support from the anticipated developmental mile stones to be aware of, to the feeding tips, to other timely information, BabyCenterPregnancyTracker continues to be well worthwhile. I look forward to seeing it pop up on a regular basis to my inbox. With all the emails I get, it is one of the few I read fully. Thank You for the ongoing support and information. It is always timely and worthwhile.

I’m 16 weeks pregnant currently & especially with what’s going on, you can’t really be in groups and find a great support system. BabyCenterPregnancyTracker makes me feel like I am surround with so many women who are going through what I am going through.
Especially because I don’t want to be on social media(such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. Just too many opinions that can mess with you), BabyCenterPregnancyTracker finds the groups you’re looking for & lets you join where you can chat with everyone.
For example, I am due in December of 2020, they found a group for me that’s literally meant for babies that are due in December! You have ANY questions that are making you nervous? Post a concern & watch how many people will give you heartfelt advice and just give you some peace of mind. You are literally surrounded with so much support & you hear stories that make you feel excited and empowered.
Sorry for a long review, I’ve just never felt so happy with an app that makes you feel so welcomed and supported with people you’ve never even met. It’s a beautiful feeling, again, especially with what’s going on. :)

I’ve been using the what to expect App. The first 5months of my 3rd pregnancy and it’s also been a good App. But I found this one when it popped up in my emails and I LOVE it!! It’s very detailed and very informational, it’s more detailed then the WTE App and it has all kinds of good videos to watch about all kinds of things you will go through during pregnancy, I have to say I like it better than the other one and it goes day by day with my baby’s growth, not week by week only, it’s much more detailed and has way more information on it for all of us expecting moms to read and I like to watch the videos and see all the pictures so that’s a very good thing about it too! It’s a definite MUST HAVE!! I would recommend BabyCenterPregnancyTracker to any expecting moms, new moms or women trying to get pregnant, it will teach you a lot and it’s a great way to watch your baby grow and get a sense of what she looks like at this time in your belly, I use BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. Everyday or every other day, there is always something to me reading or watching and it never gets old to me! Thank you for making BabyCenterPregnancyTracker.!!! I love it and recommend to anyone expecting!💖 Good Luck to all the new mommy’s out there!!

BabyCenterPregnancyTracker is not good. Cyber bullying is encouraged on here!!! The actual baby center community guidelines are not followed and the group owners since they are not paid will pick and chose who to support even if another member literally harasses you and attack you. And even when they admit or see violations by these bully’s they literally do nothing about it. They allow the exact same ones to bully the ladies here and they go back and forth to different month boards bullying others on those too. Nothing is done about it. Their customer service will ignore you and your concerns and only responds with a short reply when you end up having to resend email over and over. Horrible customer service and horrible set up and a horrible place for moms who need support as they end up getting harassed, torn down, belittled, insulted, judged by the bully’s baby centers support and back up. I will be sharing this info on my social media as well to warn others not to get. I will be using other pregnancy apps to support my pregnancy with fair guidelines and not ones that are made to treat others with discrimination and unfair treatment.

The women on BabyCenterPregnancyTracker are brutal and extremely rude and insulting and board owners take part in the harsh words as well (they should be neutral and just oversee things, not actually contribute). Wish it was monitored to create a community of support, instead it seems to function more like Facebook for high schoolers because the women feel the need to attack the others (I don’t have Facebook for this reason). Lots of close minded individuals on here that don’t know when to keep their one track mindedness to themselves. Besides from the participants of the site, it’s structured to be a bit more old school in medical information and advice. Not really giving the most accurate info but I guess its based on generalizing anyway in an attempt to appeal to more moms. If your a non vaxer... good luck to you on here. No info is provided about that aspect, only pro vaccine and if you bring it up, the other moms attack. Not really the most pleasant app but I see the good intent and that’s why I keep it. Good for tracking how far along you are in your pregnancy (which I guess you can use a calendar for). It’s a good app, but could most definitely use more work.

*I did contact babycenter customer service, however their reply was not sufficient and did not help troubleshoot where to find my bumpies. Instead, they provided the same things I’ve already tried. I still have not been able to locate my bumpies. I left another message for the developer and I am still waiting for a reply.

I went to add a description to bumpie pictures I’ve taken in previous weeks and BabyCenterPregnancyTracker would automatically shut down. When I went back in to that week’s bumpie, the photo was gone! Unfortunately, I do not have that picture saved in my photo library (because it was early on in my pregnancy and did not want anyone to come across this picture) so I am unable to retake the picture now that I’m further along and now I no longer have access to the photo.

Also, I assumed all my bumpies from my previous pregnancy were saved under that pregnancy. However, when I tried to compare bumpies from each pregnancy, all of those previous bumpies were nowhere to be found. I strongly recommend you using another app for your bumpie documentation.

It gets two stars because I like the community but it’s not well organized. It’s hard to follow threads and it’s hard to find different groups and it’s hard to go back and see a comment that you made. It doesn’t show you your comments. It just shows original posts that you’ve made. It won’t let you erase notifications. That would be helpful so you can delete the reminders if there was a TROLL on one of your boards. Oh it also doesn’t consider photos of discharge as inappropriate. In glow they require the poster to mark the photo sensitive so those who WANT to help the person out and view the photo can click on it. But in baby center you’re forced to look at it which stinks because sometimes you have to scroll past to find an old comment. I also think it’s hacked. Fake ATT winning spree things keep popping up INLY in that app then shut down everything I was working on. I have an iPhone. It’s pretty well protected and I don’t have that issue with any other app or even online. So that needs to be fixed. BabyCenterPregnancyTracker needs A LOT of help

This is my first pregnancy so I’m interested in all advice and knowledge. I also like seeing what my baby looks like daily. This a personal preference and BabyCenterPregnancyTracker doesn’t really show images of what the baby looks like daily other than a video you can click on here and there. Also, the forums are confusing, they aren’t laid out self explanatory. I work in a technology store I’m actually a mobile expert and the way the forums are set up in BabyCenterPregnancyTracker are confusing. It says start a baby club where you can essentially talk to others, but there is no set button to do so and if you do find where to post it just prompts you to post and you have no idea where exactly that post is going. There are forums on top of forums and really only places to reply to people who have already posted somehow. Idk the interface and display wasn’t really satisfying to me, i had BabyCenterPregnancyTracker for two days and deleted. I downloaded another app that shows beautiful digital images of what the baby can look like daily and also get advice and talk to others. BabyCenterPregnancyTracker has a good concept but doesn’t really seem well thought out, user friendly wise.

I love watching the baby grow part of it and how it compares baby to a food and tells you the main things that are happening on the inside with baby that week. I also love all the different articles that you can read everyday. Some of them are very helpful. One this I wish BabyCenterPregnancyTracker did have would be a check list of some sort for new moms that suggests when you should do things by certain time that someone may want to do like take a prenatal class or have a hospital bag packed. I know they have articles and videos on that but an actual checklist where someone can see what is left to be done would be nice. Possibly a baby item checklist too. I keep trying to write out lists of what we need and forgetting where I put them or forget certain things to put on the list. But overall I love BabyCenterPregnancyTracker and I would recommend it to anyone who is trying or already is pregnant if they want to learn more about pregnancy.

Let’s be real for a second.
Just because your a “mom of multiples” doesn’t mean you have it all together and figured out. It’s been 5 full years since I had a newborn, with 3 older brothers and now the 4th a little girl. To say things have changed in our household is an understatement. Lots of baby info also changes in 5 years and I’ve forgotten, well, just about everything.

This BabyCenter app, let’s just say it’s a lifesaver. 10 years ago, starting out as a new mom, I had nothing like this to reference for ideas, comforts, information and laughter. Thank you, BabyCenter, for giving this seasoned, forgetful mom of 4 the help she needs while running around like crazy person. Such a peace knowing I have a place to go to help out with the details of a new baby, from remembering if cradle cap is lethal to when I should start solids. It’s all there, and so very helpful, from conception until now and beyond! 🙌🏽

BabyCenterPregnancyTracker saved my life. I was 30 weeks pregnant and I read an article about things to look for and call your doctor. Mainly about things that may be dangers during pregnancy and call doctors immediately. Well the article talked about swelling and preeclampsia, etc. I had noticed some swelling before and planned to talk with my dr on the next visit. I was at work and my hands started swelling like the Nutty Professor. Called the Doc, they told me to come in, sent me for some blood work and the next day I was admitted to the hospital. The article was right I had developed preeclampsia. I had my baby 2 months early and that was emotionally exhausting but we are both doing well! I love BabyCenterPregnancyTracker because it is informative and helps get parents ready for baby, explain what you may be going through and helps with questions you may have about your body. It even prepares you to understand what the dr is talking about. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BabyCenterPregnancyTracker!

It was hard to decide which pregnancy and baby app to go with. Baby Center has clearly been the right choice. It has taken me successfully through pregnancy and early parenthood, so far. The articles and information are always right on time, according to what I’m experiencing and wondering about, each week. I love knowing exactly what was going on with my baby and body throughout pregnancy. And now, the benefit of knowing what to expect and easing concerns about my baby from day 1, has been immeasurable. Knowing what skills to expect to emerge each week has really allowed me to support and foster my baby’s development in a powerful way. Even the chat room for my birth month club has been so very helpful as we explore and vent and share experiences and are reminded that we’re not alone. If you’re looking for a phenomenal, all-inclusive app for pregnancy and parenthood, look no further. This is it!!!

When I became pregnant I immediately visited BabyCenterPregnancyTracker Store, eager to plug in my estimate due date. I downloaded three applications: Baby Center, What to Expect and Sprout. Baby Center was by far my favorite and eventually the only one I used mainly because the search feature was the easiest to use. The articles feature up to date information based on the latest science based research. You can also dabble on the more opinion based side and connect with moms around the world. What to Expect also had these features but I found it difficult to search for information and Baby Center has better SEO so I was often redirected to BabyCenterPregnancyTracker when searching outside of BabyCenterPregnancyTracker using Google and other search engines. Sprout has a cool graphic of a 3D baby and a nice journal feature (except it will delete your journal in error!) but not worth paying for and it lacked the community.

I really like BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. The week by week information is really helpful and I like the fruit comparisons. One of my favorite features are the “tools”. That helped me with my birth plan, and kick counts, plus who doesn’t like to look back and watch their tummies grow?! It’s also really nice that it transitions over to after the baby is born. I think a lot of FTM’s have a lot of questions. At least I do! I have a suggestion. I have quite a few apps for pregnancy but not one of them has the option for a preemie. I had to be induced at 34w so my son is 6w premature. All of these apps including this one just gives newborn information. It would be helpful to have the option to see how things progress for preemies. I understand everyone’s situation is different but a general idea or at least links for articles would be nice. Also, can you add more stickers for the photos?

I have to say I do love BabyCenterPregnancyTracker. It makes me happy that have something to look at everyday for info. (I look forward to it so much every morning that I force myself not to look at the next days content, so I have something for everyday of the week). And getting to see where the baby is in development each weak is nice.

A lot of the info I get from BabyCenterPregnancyTracker, especially the health information, has helped me learn new things, be prepared with more questions for my next Gynecologist appointment so I can be even more informed, and made me feel more secure and knowledgeable . (Having family that has given birth also helps, but there were even things that those family members learned from me occasionally because of BabyCenterPregnancyTracker).

This would be a great app for those that feel like they don’t have access to a lot of learning resources also, because it’s free. Not to replace a doctor, but a great learning aid on the side. Thanks baby center for existing!
