So much false info, it’s scary. As a labor and delivery nurse and also pregnant, I do not recommend this app. I’m convinced this app was written in a different language and translated by someone who doesn’t understand English well and is NOT in the medical field. The grammar is horrible and often makes no sense. The technical terms are NOT what we use in the medical field of obstetrics (in the U.S. at least). “Ten felt movements within 12 hours are the norm for this period of pregnancy.” (38 weeks) Wrong. Per my doctor and what we teach patients, ten movement should be felt in 2 hours. “Prepare your nipples for the child feeding by massaging the nipples with a rough towel.” - Ladies, please DON’T do that. And again, horrible grammar. Who says “for the child feeding”? “The placenta ceases to cope with its functions, becomes increasingly thinner and loses its blood leading to the retardation of metabolism.” What??? It sounds like a robot wrote this and even I can barely understand it. How could a non medical person understand this?

You can tell that the text was written by a self righteous male. “The woman’s body” is not a phrase a woman would use. The tone angered me, but it was the oversimplification of pregnancy symptoms that just aren’t true for all women that really got to me. While it is true that pregnant women can experience these symptoms, that uncertainty and variability should be conveyed. This, in combination with the egregious and casual use of large medical terms in the middle of terribly constructed sentences makes the content more insulting than informative.

When I type in the due date, it does not match up with the proper amount of weeks and days I am. I tried to type in the weeks and days that I am but then it messes up the due date. The weeks and days and due date are directly from the mouth of my doctor and when I doubly check it, the math is right. Why is your math off?
