Pregnant? And want to keep up with your baby’s development, your symptoms and more? There’s an app for that!
There are seriously apps for every walk of life. I’ve mentioned the best period tracker apps in a previous post that will help keep track of your menstrual cycles. For pregnant women, you have a huge array of paid and free apps to download on your iPhone or iPod touch. I’m a penny pincher, so I’m an advocate of free apps. You can even find free versions of paid apps – these typically have limited features, but they’re still pretty awesome. Free pregnancy apps are awesome and they are a wonderful way to keep track of your pregnancy.
While no iPhone app will make your pregnancy-related aches and pains go away, they do make keeping track of your pregnancy easier. In many cases, carrying around your iPhone or iPod touch is a heck of a lot easier than carrying a big ole pregnancy book. Pregnancy apps are awesome resources to help you survive your pregnancy. (There are also comparable Android pregnancy apps, but this article is mostly focused on free iPhone and iPad apps.)

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to
see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be
a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I
had to share it with someone!
I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours
today, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made
good content as you did, the net shall be a lot more helpful than ever before.
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your web site by accident, and
I am shocked why this
accident did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
I have been checking out many of your articles and it’s clever stuff. I will make sure to bookmark your website.
Hello! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your

Fantastic site you have here but I was wanting
to know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really love to
be a part of community where I can get responses from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any
suggestions, please let me know. Bless you!
Nearly all of what you assert is astonishingly
precise and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not
looked at this in this light before. Your article truly did
switch the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes.
But there is actually 1 issue I am not really too comfortable with
and while I try to reconcile that with the core
idea of your issue, permit me see what the
rest of the readers have to say.Nicely done.

It’s spooky how clever some ppl are. Thsnak!
You just put everything I've been thinking into words. I saw it again yesterday and I have plans to see it a 3rd time with my mother-in-law. After seeing it again, my 2 thoughts were: I want to read Breaking Dawn again and I kinda feel for Jacob in these movies. I love Edward too, but Jacob was very convincing.Gosh, I'm back in the nerdiness as well. Glad to see I'm not alone.
I found one that is really helpful with pregnancy symptoms to know if it’s an emergency or not
it is called Pregnancy SOS – but it’s only for iphone (in the app store)
Have you used watch me change pregnancy? It’s pretty fun – it creates a time lapse video of your body changing.
An amazing new app “My baby’s beat” was released just a few days ago – it allows pregnant woman to hear their baby’s heart beat, just like fetal monitor!
The app is based on the iPhone microphone and requires no added hardware!
The interesting thing about it , is that the app recommends every time for you to switch for “AIRPLANE MODE” to shut down all communication and transmission from the iPhone , hence turning the iPhone into a very sensitive microphone , with no emit of any kind of radiation (normal fetal monitor always emits waves and any doctor will tell you not to over use them…)
There’s a new amazing App I’ve just downloaded. It’s Called My Baby’s Beat and it enables you to listen and record your fetus heartbeat. Just heard my baby boy. Exciting!
forgot to say I have an iPhone…
What a helpful post! Love it, I’m gonna share it with my mommy to be friends. I’m expecting baby #2 also. I got your comment from Bloggy Moms. I’m following you now. Here’s my blog: http://anirishitalianblessing.blogspot.com/
I’m not having any more kids but I have a few friends who are. I’m passing it along!
