The 16 Best Pregnancy Tracker Apps For You and Your Bump

Being pregnant is a really exciting time, so it makes sense if you wanna go all out and download all the apps, start all the bullet journals, and read every website. Unfortunately, you probably don’t have time to download every single app (you’re growing a human after all!), and since there are so many cute (and highly rated) pregnancy tracker apps, it can be a bit overwhelming to narrow your choices down. Don’t worry though, we’re here to help.

When it comes to choosing a pregnancy tracker app, Dr. Peace Nwegbo-Banks, an OBGYN at Serenity Women’s Health & Med Spa in Pearland, Texas, says you’ll want to look for features that include a calendar for appointments, patient information on basic embryology, and mood, food, and water intake tracking. Dr. Nwegbo-Banks likes the Ovia app (#13 on our list), as she says it’s a great app that offers info on what to expect each week and trimester.

Now, disclaimer: while pregnancy tracking apps can be fun and helpful, they are certainly no substitute for professional medical advice. Think of these apps as a digital journal and a place to collect your notes and thoughts to bring up at your next appointment. Many apps out there can keep a log of your vitamins or medicines, and connect you with other moms-t0-be. Of course, if anything feels concerning to you, you should still see a doctor! No amount of Googling or talking to other expectant moms in a forum can replace a visit with a medical professional. With that out of the way, here are a few of the best pregnancy tracker apps you can download today.

3. ProDaddy

Why should expecting moms get all the pregnancy app goodness? While there are a few dad-centric pregnancy apps out there, ProDaddy is one of the highest-rated ones for good reason. While some of the dad apps lean towards masculinizing parenthood with lumberjack imagery (lol), ProDaddy offers articles and tips that focus more on equal parenting responsibility, like encouraging dads-to-be to get in on the baby shower, asking and using paternity leave, and more. The tone is a lil bro-y, but it’s cheeky in a cute way that anyone can appreciate (“Baby Yourlastname coming in hot in 29 weeks.”) There are quick articles and tips for first-time dads, deeper dives on topics that require more time, and updates on your baby’s development along the way. The app promises you’ll “build your confidence in your path to becoming the talented and involved dad you want to be” and that you can be a ProDaddy yourself after nine months.
