Every week while I was pregnant with my twins, my work colleagues would come up to me and ask, “How big are the twins now?” To which I would reply, “Oh you know, the size of a [insert vegetable here].” Thanks to some great pregnancy apps, I was able to keep track of the babies’ growth in terms of vegetables, treats, or even baby animals. So cute, I can’t even.
I got hooked on pregnancy apps. Anytime a friend would recommend one, I would download it.
I found though, that some apps were better than others. So if you’re wondering what apps are right for you, I gotcha covered, mama.
Here’s my list of top ten pregnancy apps and motherhood apps (most of them free):
- Pregnancy+
- I liked this app for its daily articles, weekly growth tracking (in fruits/vegetables), ideas for baby names, and weight tracking.
- It also has real ultrasound photos to show what the baby may look like (and bonus, some were of twins).
- The Bump
- I liked this app for its daily articles, weekly growth tracking (in fruits/vegetables, sweet treats, and baby animals – yass)
- What to Expect
- I liked this app for its community message board (sharing experiences with other moms).
- You can also get daily email updates of trending topics on the boards.
- Baby Pics
- I used this app throughout pregnancy and after the babies were born.
- I use it for fun image overlays (such as adding the Week to images before sharing on social media)
- Baby+
- A continuation of Pregnancy+, I liked this app for its monthly development updates.
- This app also tracks feeding, sleeping, and diaper changes, though I don’t really use these features.
- Pampers Rewards
- I use this app to gain and redeem rewards on Pampers diaper and wipe products
- Huggies Rewards
- I use this app to gain and redeem rewards on Huggies diaper and wipe products
- Sprout Baby
- This app is great for tracking the health of your baby
- The Wonder Weeks
- This app tracks leaps and major development weeks.
- I refer to this app when my babies suddenly become fussier (maybe they’re just teething)
- Today’s Parent – My Family
- I use this app to read its many interesting articles.
- This app also tracks naps, feeding, and potty, though I don’t really use these features
If you’re looking for pregnancy apps to guide you through the journey into motherhood, there are quite a few to choose from! Even if you just need a regular dose of cuteness to mark each week…
