I have used this app for 4 years now with 3 babys and love looking at the updates about. It gives you weekly updates of how baby is growing the size etc although it could be a bit better it's still very informative. It can also be used after baby is born. -

A comprehensive information source for expectant mothers. It alerted me weekly on how baby was growing and what fruit or veg it was a similar size or weight too - great to be able to visualise it.
The articles were interesting and th3 forum useful to put worries or queries at bay. - 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.Read more
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:

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:

Would enjoy a calender view option on this but the set up of having each week and then having a day by day story or article is good. Contains a lot of US articles which are not necessarily useful for UK mums. the forum is very glitcy in the app and therefore i limit its use. - Strengths:

Love this app. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I downloaded this app to my phone. I really like how it gives you daily information and shows you what size or weight your baby is the same as each week I really enjoy taking a weekly bump selfie and adding it to the album to see how my bump is growing. - 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:
