    3 Best Pregnancy Apps of 2022

    These were my go-to easy apps used during my pregnancy. Honestly through the agile exhaustion I faced about every day, it was hard to stay up and research through endless amount of information the internet provided.

    Luckily each of these pregnancy apps shared the right amount of data I needed for this mom brain of mine. Alerts via notifications through the weeks and months, each one reminded me the milestones my baby and I were infiltrating.

    These pregnancy app ‘s are listed credible and easy!

    3 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    PREGNANCY APPS OF 2022

    WHAT TO EXPECT

    what to expect app
    What to Expect is an app that adheres to their health experts and organic sources. Their content provides information about Pregnancy, Planning, Parenting, and Health-Related topics.
    But what I love most about this app is the community group section. There are many mama’s and father’s out there who are confused, scared, concerned, excited, in question, or just want a sense of belonging.
    You can search any-thing absolutely anything and a momma has gone through it and discussed it!
    Imagine waking up one morning where you have 10,000 things going on in the day.
    You’re late to work, you haven’t had any coffee and the notification on your phone says,
    “20 weeks pregnant today, your baby is a size of a bell pepper! The butterflies in your tummy are not only due to your excitement but baby’s kicks are making an appearance!”.

    Let that sit, now your whole mood has changed. You are now smiling ear to ear, your heart is fuller than it was in the midst of this mornings’ chaos.
    I truly appreciated every notification updating me on my baby’s new developments. Even symptom’s I might be experiencing during my pregnancy and more.
    Those baby updates hit right when they needed to.

    BEST OF THE APP:

    • ovulation calculator
    • daily/weekly/monthly tracker on baby’s development (also measured in fruit sizes)
    • pregnancy/parenting tips from other experts and other parents
    • community; share real time photo’s, stories and advice, even mom meet up arrangements!

    EXPECTFUL

    It’s very important during pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, loss, birth and post-birth that you separate some time for you mama.

    This is a very intentional, beautiful experience you are fostering in your life and in order to make this journey the least amount of stress will bring you closer to your baby. Expectful helps you navigate through meditations with hypnobirthing, week by week motherhood support, affirmations and so much more.

    I used this app before bed and in the morning to calm my nervous system and ground me into where I am with my baby.
    The baby is rooted in me and I am rooted in nature, so nourishing body was priority. In this, know that your baby will feel your serotonin, excitement, anxiety and love!
    Whenever I felt overwhelmed by the realism of life, I took my power and easily integrated positivity with this app.
    There were also on-demand classes, support groups, courses and resources at my fingertips. I started exploring Hypno-Birthing early and it provided courses from my first few weeks all the way to birth, amazing.
    Expectful has a free trial, but different options to pay once you become a subscriber which for me was WELL worth the money. This easily became the pregnancy app download, holistically.

    BEST OF THE APP:

    • meditation for fertility
    • meditation during pregnancy
    • motherhood meditations/mindfulness in motherhood

    BABYLIST

    Ahhhh, if there is anything for me to fangirl over, it is Babylist!
    This app is a universal registry from any store, with guides that help you on what to include on your registry, top rated items, popular items, reason & so much more.
    I was able to see a list of popular strollers and breast pumps off of one guide, helping me with the best expensive, non-expensive and average priced strollers on another guide.
    Which many of the breastfeeding products I bought were suggested through this app! Making the start of this adventure a lot easier.
    They were informative about what brands were good/trusting/popular, thus making researching a lot less time-consuming.
    There wasn’t an overwhelming amount of information on these guides either, the search was a lot easier to digest.

    On my registry I was able to add products from Etsy, target, buy buy baby, Potterybarn kids, even the Babylist brand itself (very cute items) gift-cards, funds, etc.
    Babylist also gives you the option to have a “must have’s” stamp on your favorite items in the registry.
    Also notifications that let you know when the item is reserved or bought.
    Unfortunately a lot of my family members had to contact me about how to make the transaction, or called to tell me which of the items they purchased. Which I’m glad because it could’ve caused for duped gifts.
    It was only frustrating because they had to make an account with babylist or input tracking numbers aka putting in a little more work then what they were used to back in the day lol.
    Making that final decision for you and your baby is a lot to handle. But momma only you intuitively know what will work to welcome your baby best.
    In general always listen to your gut, this part of your life doesn’t matter based on the popular vote.
    At any rate, the Babylist app helped me find what worked for me and my family from a variety of different stores and resources!

    BEST OF THE APP:

    • New hello baby box (after a minimum $10 purchase)
    • Add products from any store
    • Cash funds/services for baby
    • Guides on everything you could need for your Baby’s registry

    As a first time mom I found that these were my go-to apps I checked in to almost every day. while they helped me stay present, they also relieved me from any anxieties risen in that day/stage. give these a try let me know how you like them!

    What are the apps you used and loved during your pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, life after birth?
