Questions/answers about pregnancy, food, checklist for maternity, sports, choice of name... Applications for pregnant women are more and more numerous. Here is our selection of the best apps of the moment for connected moms.
More and more applications offer to future mothers to follow their pregnancy and the evolution of the baby in their belly. How to know which one to download? Our advice to help you make the right choice.
Whether you are at the very beginning of your pregnancy or just a few days away from your baby's birth, downloading a monitoring application can be very useful.
This tool allows future moms, pregnant for the first time or already pregnant, to get information, to go deeper into specific subjects, to exchange advice and feedback with other moms, but also to follow the evolution of the fetus.
Whether at home, in the waiting room or on public transport, these apps can be consulted anywhere. This makes them indispensable allies in everyday life.
When you are pregnant for the first time, you don't necessarily know a lot of things and you are in need of information. And we often prefer to make an idea by ourselves rather than listening to the mothers around us who have already been through it.
In this case, an app will judiciously complete the information received during appointments with professionals, who are not always very educational or available to answer the avalanche of questions that a future mother asks.
Some applications will continue to be of great help for those who have already had children, and even after giving birth, for those that offer postpartum sports or wellness exercises, or advice on breastfeeding.
Whether on Apple (IOS for Iphone or Ipad) or on Google (Android), there are two main groups of applications designed to accompany you during your pregnancy: generalist and specialist.
Generalist applications: their primary objective is to answer the many questions that pregnant women have from the beginning of their pregnancy. They provide advice, exercises to keep in shape or relax. They also allow you to follow your weight gain and the development of your fetus, sometimes with the help of 3D images for the most sophisticated ones.
Specialized applications: they focus on specific topics that may be of interest to the mother-to-be. For example, they provide advice on diet to monitor her weight, provide lists of names to choose from, learn sign language to sign with baby when he is here (the Baby Sign app), explain how to do sports gently, or are specialists in prenatal yoga ... Available on the Apple Store, Maternity My pregnancy sereine offers meditation exercises to relax that will be useful even after the arrival of baby.
Beware, if most of them are free, their use is interrupted more or less frequently by ads, unless you pay for the ad-free version. Some of them also encourage you to open your wallet to access more features.
Why download it? Developed by Techuelx, this pregnancy monitoring application is a gold mine for future moms. Once you have entered your due date, you can access a lot of information such as the fetus's progress and growth, the baby's arrival countdown...
To know everything before the big day! Among its original functionalities, the possibility to make a small movie thanks to the editing of the different photos of the baby-bump taken during the nine months.
Strong points: midwives provide quick and relevant answers to users' questions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Another strong point of Pregnancy & Baby Tracker Pro: the sensory experiences such as the simulation of the baby's hearing or sight, or the simulation of its heart rate.
One drawback: frequent bugs reported by its users (difficulties to connect, to read videos...).
Price: free. Available on Google Play and huawei Store.
