Top 10 Pregnancy Apps for Mums-to-be

6. Contraction Timer

Worried about labour? Not sure how long you should wait before making the dash to hospital? This app is perfect for you. It tracks the time and duration of each contraction and even plots them on graphical charts something that may be useful when the midwife asks about your contractions. It’s also a great app if you’re a first time mums.

7. M Pregnancy

Hey dads, this one is for you! This brilliant app for dads-to-be makes becoming a father that much more fun and relatable, comparing the size of your growing baby relative to objects like bottle tops and footballs. It’s also packed with weekly information that covers your baby’s gestational age (and how to count it), what your pregnant partner can and can’t eat and also a FAQ section.

8. Positive Pregnancy

Sometimes pregnant mums just need a little ‘me’ time. This app is designed to help mums-to-be stay stress-free and relaxed throughout her pregnancy, with meditation, positive affirmations and visualisation practices aimed to help boost energy and build a connection with your baby.

9. The Essential Baby

This app has all the important details you need on hand — details of what’s happening to your baby and your body every week, a guide to vitamins, supplements and what you can and can’t eat in pregnancy, and information on how to tell when you’re in labour. There’s a handy and easy-to-use contraction timer, too.

10. Baby Pool

This is an app that’s fun and quirky, aimed to keep you and your friends entertained until the bub is born. No doubt everyone’s got an opinion on what gender baby you’re having, when you’ll have it, and how much it will weigh, so use this app to organise the guesses and turn it into a game! It will also send all relevant details to the participants when your bub arrives.
