This app has been extremely useful. This is my first pregnancy so I am learning for the first time. The articles are informative and easy to read and you can save them and return to them. The bumpies gallery is a lovely feature to watch bump grow and develop. - Strengths:

I do like this app it has great information which is really really helpful. It has a good bump selfie function which is cute, a baby name function and a contraction timer as well. That side of things is great.
I do like the chat room, it can be helpful and informative and everyone is entitled to their own opinion or to put what they want however I sometimes find the chat room a scary place especially in the first trimester, I found some posts made me worry that something was wrong with my baby when they were absolutely fine.
In future I'd just avoid it until a bit later in my pregnancy. - Strengths:

A fantastic app to accompany pregnancy. The app gives you a week by week breakdown of pregnancy with interesting articles every day. It gives you a an idea of what size the baby is at each stage and how the baby is growing. There is a community in the app too so you can get advice and spend hours reading about a range of topics! - Strengths:

I used this app throughout my pregnancy & found it to be useful & informative as well as having fun parts to it. It helped to put my mind at rest when I worried about the little things. I also enjoyed the weekly updates. The fact that it is also free makes it even more appealing. I’d definitely use it if I had another baby & would recommend it to others. - Strengths:

This app is wonderful. There are a number of groups you can join depending on what you are interested in such as cloth nappies, first time mums etc. You also have the forum for when your baby is due. This is really useful as everyone is experiencing similar things at the same time e.g. scans and it is a great place to get advice from other mums. As well as the forums you also get weekly updates on the size of your baby and can use the baby name finder and 'bumpie' tool to customise photos. - Strengths:

A great app for first time mums! Really reassuring and gives you development info everyday about the baby. I liked to see the size of baby each week and I loved the bumpie photos which are nice to look back on. I now have a 3 year old and still get updates regarding her development each month. I am expecting my second child and have started to use it again. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. - Strengths:

This app is free first bonus. It's shows you how your baby's growing week by week and has a ton of info including relevant blogs and articles for that week. The only down side is (for me anyway) is you can't tell it your having more that 1 child. The community is very good for support and advice . - Strengths:

I really enjoy this app. It gives daily topics of information on varied topics and a weekly update on the size of your baby and developments. I love seeing the new size each week and great to have a variety of topics covered each day.
The forum/community is great on this app, there are monthly baby clubs to join with others due the same month so creates a nice sense of community of parents to be going through the same feelings (good and bad) as you which is very reassuring.
Another great feature is the bump date pictures these all store in the app and can great a week to week slideshow. When taking the image there is an option to add a figure outline to make sure all pictures are the same size etc, can also add stickers to show the week and the baby size.
Great app and the community pages in particular have been a great help! I have a few different pregnancy app but this one is my favourite. - Strengths:

I love this app. I am pregnant with my 3rd and just like with the previous 2, I am using baby center. I love the weekly email updates and suggested articles for the week. I really enjoy the information they give you with the average size updates in the emails. I also love they they continue to send emails, less frequently, as your children get older and it isn't just for pregnancy.
I also enjoy that birth clubs and being able to talk with other people due in the same month as me possibly going through the same aches and pains, and sharing their experiences so I can feel slightly reassured it's all normal to pregnancy. - Strengths:

I love this app. It quickly became my go to when random questions popped into my head. It covers a huge range of topics, things I didn't think other people would be thinking of. I love the updates for dad's to be, my partner reads it, and it makes me feel good to know that he can get a male perspective as I don't think he would feel like he could look this up himself. There are no annoying adds and it is an easy app to use. I love the little videos, short and sweet and plenty of info in little snippets. Would recommend. - Strengths:

This app contains a great library of information. However, I found it difficult to keep up with which articles to read when, as the calendar feature seemed counter-intuitive to me. Nonetheless I really enjoyed reading the various articles which cover all stages of pregnancy/baby's development.
The app links well with the babycentre website, which also has a wealth of information. - Strengths:
