Great info given in a fun and exciting way. Looks appealing and exciting with colours and illustrations. Has been my weekly go to for updates on where my pregnancy is at and what to expect! Love the likeness to fruit sizes to help me gauge how big baby is! Plenty of options for info and interest reads! Worth a look for all mums to be! - Strengths:

For your first pregnancy this app is fantastic. Each week gives you a size comparison for baby. You get new information everyday so learn a lot about what is happening with baby's growth but also helps with questions you may have. It also has a forum so you can speak to other women in your position to get advice. - Strengths:

Found this app by pure accident and ended up loving it and using it throughout my pregnancy. I also downloaded it on my partners phone. I love how easy it is to use and the visual guide it gives. It updates with interesting articles and keeps you informed on what is happening at each stage of your pregnancy. Will be using again. - Strengths:

This was a great app that I got as soon as I learnt I was pregnant...!
Every morning I would religiously read all new articles for the day (you get 4-5 articles per day) and I learnt so much with it ! Every time I was experiencing a new "symptom", I was lucky enough that there were an article about it the next day...
I also loved reading the weekly update more specifically about baby, size and "food" comparison, and see what it looked like in there week after week and all its development ("honey look, he's growing fingernails this week...!!! he's such a genius already !")
A few downsides: some articles are specific to US (so not the best when you're reading from UK) and some articles are duplicates, from mid pregnancy I stopped reading the day-to-day articles (also because I knew the subjects) and only read the weekly updates.
Overall, very happy with this app !! - Strengths:

Overall I really like this app. I tend to look at the app at the start of each week as the weekly update feature is by far my favourite. This tells you roughly how much your baby weighs and measures (and compares this to a fruit or vegetable) each week of pregnancy, and uses an interactive image of baby in the womb to illustrate the key development points.
I had to switch the notifications off for this app as i found i was receiving notifications everyday for the same information. Also the articles are very often too short making them rather pointless in my opinion. - Strengths:

I love this app, I enjoyed its information during my pregnancy with weekly updates and daily articles that are all helpful for where you were in your pregnancy.
I have also loved it for after pregnancy carries on the breakdown week to week on what your baby should be up to next, and plenty of daily articles to read too. It has also a great Instagram page to follow which I love to also follow.
It is an American app so does relate to a lot of American studies etc but it is still great has been my favourite by far.
There our forums, place to save your photos and also a food safety area where it can quickly let you know what is ok to eat or not.
