Pregnancy Tracker | Preglife

First-time pregnant person here who is pretty freaked out by the state of our maternal health care options, tracking apps sharing data, laws, “pregnant person national registry” etc going on here in the US. Really glad to have this app and feeling safe using it!

This app is easy to use, and offers perspective and opportunity for both mother and father to learn about the baby’s development. pregnancy is a strange thing for new moms w/o guidance or support and I feel this app offers detailed information on fetal development and potential pregnancy symptoms. I prefer this app over the one I paid a yearly subscription for before finding this one! If In hindsight, I would strictly use this app. I appreciate the free information, and the little videos.

From someone studying L&D/midwifery I get frustrated when an app gives antiscientific information. At 5 weeks/21 days past fertilization, a fetus does not have a heartbeat. The heart isn’t fully formed until around 20 weeks. What’s happening is actually just an electrical signal translated into sound through the ultrasound machine. But it is not a “heart beat” as the fetus does not have a heart yet, the structure is more like a single tube at this time.

This is the best app to track my future heirs growth

I enjoy the part where on every week I can open a little present that shows me what size my baby is now ☺️ I also like the tips it gives as well as the offers that pop up
