Doc N Me

Doc N Me is supported by iOS and android, and is available on phone as well as on desktop. It helps a mom-to-be count the number of baby kicks in a span of two hours. It is a useful app to record the movement of the fetus. Baby kicks are felt mostly in the evening or when the mother lies down on her left side. Don’t panic if you cannot feel them. Visit your doctor.

My Baby’s Beat

Excited to hear the baby’s heart beat but cannot wait till the next doctor’s appointment? You don’t need to. This app will help you listen to your munchkin’s heartbeat anytime and anywhere you want. Put the phone’s microphone over the bump and hear. It also lets you record so that your spouse could hear it too.

MommyMeds

It is available for both Apple and Android phones. It has a huge data base of medications that are available over-the-counter as well as prescription drugs that are safe for an expecting mother to take. You can always cross-check before popping a pill. It is chargeable but worth every penny.

Sprout Pregnancy

If you’re one of those moms-to-be who love to take photos and record the memories, this app does just that. It helps you create a space to save all your ultrasound pictures and photos which you could print later for your babybook. Once the baby is born, you can use it as a book keeper to record your queries for the next doctor’s visit.

Pregnancy ++

If you’re curious to know the size of your fetus, this application would tell you week by week growth of the baby comparing it to a food item. When you are in your seventh week of pregnancy, the baby is the size of a blueberry. Interesting? Download the application to get exciting 2D and 3D pictures with many animated videos for better understanding.

Baby Names

One of the major challenges faced by a pregnant woman is to select the right name for the yet-to-be born baby. You needn’t worry if you have this app on the phone. Click on it to see a variety of names for girls and boys. It is user-friendly. Just click on the names that are written in pink meant for girls, blue for boys and yellow for unisex names. How cool is that?

It is amazing how these applications have made life so simple. But we must understand that no matter how well-researched these apps may be, you should never really rely on them in cases where you feel something is not right. Go by the mother’s instinct and see your doctor if you feel the baby hasn’t kicked, instead of spending time on the app and figuring out why it is not functioning alright. Good luck and have a happy pregnancy!
