Will miss this app when I have baby!
I have used this app all the way through my pregnancy and it has become a fun tradition each week to watch the video with my husband and see what it says about our baby this week. I have not paid for a premium version just use the free one and can still get a weekly video and can see a fruit about the same size and an animation of a growing baby. Although it is all American you still get the idea of how baby is growing and developing just have to remember we do things slightly different in UK and follow information from midwife/consultant.

Thank you for your support and trust, JessATM! We wish you all the best! 💜
Really nice straightforward app
I’ve used this with two of my pregnancies now and it’s worked great for me. Me and my husband love the baby size comparisons as well as the chats that you can make or enter in order to get advice or tips from other soon to be moms! It’s really helpful in terms of getting me started with my registry and I love how simple it is. The videos make me happy cause I love seeing the size or my baby in reference to my belly and the different milestones my babies are reaching that week!
I wish it offered some more information on babies born early and such. As well as different things to look out for in terms of mastitis ,preeclampsia.. etc.
And I would totally love to have a contraction tracker within the same app! Rather than having to download another but other than that it’s overall great! So excited to use it for future pregnancies. I’ve already recommended it a couple of my friends and they find it helpful too.

Too many ads
I couldn’t get myself to use this app because of excessive amounts of ads. I saw more ads than relevant information.

Best after a loss (update)
I liked this app the most during my pregnancy. I had three I would look at regularly. I experienced a still birth at 21 weeks. This app was the only one that transitioned after I reported my loss, to a different version that talked about loss. It has given some great articles to read, and access to other women who are experiencing loss themselves. Thank you What To Expect. **(Update)** I have changed my review from 5 stars to a one star. After the loss of my baby I was still inundated with emails and mail advertising because of my information this app sold. It took months to stop receiving this after countless unsubscribes. Enfamil sent me a sample box in the mail that absolutely broke me. Their customer service (to complain about receiving the box) was a chat bot that wanted to make sure my loss wasn’t caused by their formula. I am also very grossed out that the app recommends at week 8 to sign up for a registry; conveniently theirs. This is a time of great risk of miscarriage and there is no reason a person needs to start a registry this early. It leaves opportunity for unnecessary heartache if a loss happens. As exciting as it is to use these apps and see the information they are providing about your pregnancy, see through the lines. They are using you.

My first pregnancy
This is my first pregnancy,My sister told me that she tried & payed for so many apps an she couldn’t find any she liked. She recommended this app saying it’s her favourite. I couldn’t agree anymore, specifically knowing I can communicate with other pregnant woman around the world and getting everyone’s feed back any opinion and ideas to help with my pregnancy 😊. Also the tracking is very accurate and there videos of explaining how far you are along how your baby is growing and what is happening to your body is really helping me and understanding more and more about my little one.

Simple and great summary week by week
Most sites have almost to much information, as a new mum it can be overwhelming. What to expect breaks everything down into easy to read summaries with places to go to research more detail. Love it.

1st Pregnancy
All I can say is WOW! This app is very helpful when it comes to new aches and pains during pregnancy. Whenever I get worried about a new symptom, “what to expect” app calms me down and saves me the trips to the hospital. Its amazing how punctual this app is, this week I experienced (RLS) with very bad leg cramps in the morning, I checked my emails and there it said I would be experiencing that well at least (1 in 15%) women do, and I happened to be one. Things like that gives me reassurance that what I am feeling is completely normal and again saves me a hospital trip. Another time I was having very bad sinus pressure and again the app explained that the nose vessel membranes can get swollen which causes nasal congestion. Which I just took Robotussin and got better within a day or 2. The fact that its free and still give’s helpful information!! I was recommended this app now I recommend it to other friends who are expecting (:

Thanks for the 5 Star rating, Mum of Luiz! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you.
Absolutely love it !
I have no complaints about this app. It’s user friendly, loaded with information and resources for pregnant moms and moms who have kids already. I’m in my first pregnancy third trimester and have come to this app several times to the discussion board to ask a bunch of questions and everyone is just so incredibly helpful. You don’t realize how much truly changes with your body the first time you go through pregnancy, and it’s so reassuring to have other moms in the same boat as you along with experienced moms to help answer any questions. I love that it shows the progress of the size of your baby as you progress through each week of your pregnancy along with what to expect each week. This app is truly incredible for all moms and I can’t recommend it enough.
