I absolutely love this app! It has so much information regarding every aspect of pregnancy and birth. It is always my go to app when I have any questions or concerns
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.
Great app with loads of different information. Helps keep track of your pregnancy and let’s you know what’s happening day to day with your baby on the inside. Always a good read for info on pregnancy and your unborn babies journey
i love this app, it is clear and simple to use. you get week by week baby progress and health advice and tips on how to cope with symptoms.lots of videos to watch to keep you informed. you can keep your bump pictures stored in a timeline on the app, you can talk to other mums in the birth club, you can ask questions and give advice to other mothers. it even has a list of baby names for you to look through and a contraction timer for when you are in labour. its great peace of mind and a way to share your concerns, excitement and tips with other expectant mums.

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.
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.
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.
I was obsessed with this app!
It was so exciting to read the daily articles to know what was going on and coming up with my baby/pregnancy
Amazing source of information when it’s your first baby
I absolutely love this app. The community section has been a great help as getting support from other mums to be who are going through the same things. I love the bumpie section as I get to track photos of my growing bump. Also the information section about each stage of pregnancy has been amazing too. I highly recommend this app
Love love LOVE. As a first time mum I felt clueless and this app completely changed that. Full of brilliant useful information, links/suggestions of where to go for help, loved the size comparison feature as baby was growing and now he’s here love learning little facts about his development as he grows.
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!
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.
I love this app, it gives you lots of detail about each week of pregnancy, allows you to upload bump photos which is always lovely to look back on and is simple to use.
I love using this app. I use it most days and especially look forward to my weekly updates.
I find it to be very useful and informative and love the little updates on my baby.
I registered on this site and downloaded the app when I was only 5 weeks pregnant and I found it invaluable. It kept me updated each week throughout my pregnancy and even now my baby is 7 months old. The information is easy to use, relevant and up to date.
This app was fantastic while I was pregnant. It gives you daily information about how your baby is growing and what to expect at different stages. It also has a birth club in which you are in a group with people who are due in the same month as you . Then users can post questions which you can see and answer. Anything you are wondering will be on there somewhere!
I love this app, it gives you a day by day guide of what to expect, whats happening to you and your baby and its really easy to use. You can take bumpies as well with pictures of what fruit or veg is the current size of your baby.
Lots of articles to read which are relevant to the stage of your pregnancy

This app is very easy to use with plenty of informative articles. Particularly interesting are the development of the baby articles, which really appealed to my sciencey husband.
I like that you can scroll through a couple of days to read a variety of articles at once. And you can look ahead to the next week, or go back to view an article at a later date.
There are some adverts, but I found them unobtrusive.
By the end of your pregnancy you will start to see repeated subjects, such as packing your hospital bag or baby names, but the majority of information is relevant to your stage in pregnancy.
I downloaded the app soon as I found out I was pregnant as I've heard good things about it. I love how it tells you details of the pregnancy week you are on. Later on in the pregnancy I'm sure the contraction timer would be handy as well.
One thing I love about this app ahead of others is the ability to take a "bumpie" it's a great idea and I've taken a good few now!
It was a good free app. It contains a lot of information. It is helpful with tips for the pregnancy. However, all these apps seem pretty similar to each others.
I loved this app when pregnant and still do. It is so informative and full of support. It has both a serious and fun side. With opportunities to talk to parents with similar interests , questions and experiences. It guides you through your pregnancy and continues to after birth. Perfect to use when a question pops into your head at 4am ?.
It is easy to use and understand, everythig is clear and well designed
Weaknesses:
It could show more things such as the size of your babies feet and hands at the stage they are.
