Pregnancy is often a time of discovery for expectant mothers. We've decided to bring you some apps that will answer your questions and offer useful information that will help you navigate your pregnancy week by week.
We know that with the growing belly, curiosity also grows to better understand the changes in the body and the baby's development. Their service serves both mothers and fathers, who learn more about this period.
We've selected the best free pregnancy apps to help expectant parents prepare for their baby's arrival.
The intention is to complement with data and curiosities about the baby's growth.
Pregnancy+
This first app called Gravidez+ is considered the number one pregnancy app in the world, being the most used with more than 20 million users.
The app has a very pleasant, easy-to-use, and comprehensive interface, with a variety of information that is updated daily, including a personal diary that includes your weight, doctor's visits, contraction timer, kick counter, and baby layette lists.
It can be personalized for parents, grandparents, and other family members. It features a timeline that shows the fetus's current stage and provides reminders of exams and preparations for the baby's arrival.
With it, you can compare your baby's size with the sizes of fruits we know, compare whether the growth is correct and whether the symptoms you are experiencing are actually what you expected.
Application in English, but has options for more than 10 languages.
Kangaroo Pregnancy
This Brazilian app, called Canguru Gravidez, aims to be a complete guide to pregnancy.
It's not just for pregnant women, but also for those trying to conceive, women planning to get pregnant. It's a very simple app to use, without any fancy graphics.
On the other hand, it is one of the most efficient in terms of informative content, with a calendar to organize exams, appointments and vaccinations, a social network formed by other mothers and specialists and the possibility of creating a digital prenatal card, with all the important information about the baby.
Based on information provided by expectant mothers, the app classifies pregnancy risk as low, intermediate, and high.
This way, women can better prepare for childbirth and have a more peaceful and well-informed pregnancy.
Application in Portuguese.
My Prenatal
Finally, the last app, also Brazilian, is Meu Pré-Natal, which stands out for its accessible language and variety of information.
Inside it is the “Gestogram” which uses data such as the date of your last period and ultrasound to determine your probable due date, and within it is a section for questions, a photo album and a contraction counter.
The most interesting part here is the "Birth Plan," where pregnant women can record their expectations and preferences. The goal is to encourage women's autonomy and humanize care through awareness.
Application in Portuguese too.
