Pregnancy tracker apps can be a fun way to monitor your progress in-between doctor appointments. The best part about them is the access to other expecting mothers to compare notes and to the been-there-done-that moms who spend time on the platform offering advice. Whether you’re there for the fun of it or to compare progress, you must remember that these platforms are no substitute for professional medical advice and must be treated as such. Below is a list of some of the good ones we’ve identified.
- Baby Center: A favorite for many expecting mothers and one of the most popular. You can use it to track fertility, due date, contractions, baby kicks and more.
