## What is Pregnant Eating?

Congratulations! You're pregnant! As an expectant mother, I'm sure you've begun learning about all the lifestyle changes you'll need to make for the benefit of your growing baby. One of the most important are your dietary choices, and navigating the tangled mass of restrictions, cautions, and recommendations can be stressful.

This app aims to make that a bit easier! At the core of Pregnant Eating is an 8,500+ item food database. Simply search for the food you're unsure about, and Pregnant Eating will guide you into making a determination about that food's impact, in an easy to read screen. Green means eat up. Yellow means eat up as long as you follow a few precautions. Red means avoid! With each easy to read color is a description explaining why that particular food may be potentially unsafe.

This app was developed by an expectant first time dad. As such, maintaining a database of that many foods can be time consuming! You can help by reporting any errors in the database's recommendations, spending 99 cents to remove the ads, or buying any of my other apps!

### 5/5 — Pregnancy app

*2023-10-27, version 2.0.1*

I love this app and that it is free to mamma La who are expecting. I was so unsure of what to eat and I haven’t been to my OBGYN yet cause I’m only 6 weeks but this app has helped me find peace of mind to know I’m eating what’s right for my growing baby.

### 1/5 — A lot of misinformation on this app

*2020-01-10, version 2.0.1*

I was really excited about downloading this app. Upon examining some of the choices, I noticed that it gives a lot of misinformation about pregnancy eating. Most of the foods that are labeled “ safe” contain nitrites and nitrates that should not be consumed during pregnancy as it poses health risks to the fetus. Please update this information with fact based knowledge about pregnancy and healthy eating... very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Barcode not working.

*2019-01-23, version 1.3*

The barcode scanner just shows a black screen.

### 1/5 — The scan is not working

*2019-01-04, version 1.3*

The scan is not working, can’t connect with the camera :(

### 3/5 — Useful but some inaccuracies

*2018-07-01, version 1.3*

I found this app useful except then I started to find some inaccuracies (ie it says raw fish is safe) so I don't trust the advice 100%

### 4/5 — New user

*2017-12-22, version 1.3*

I’ve not used this app for long but so far it’s genius. The one thing I have absolutely no clue about is what is and isn’t safe to eat while pregnant. I thought I would have to find a book somewhere and carry it around with me but this handy app has made food decisions quick and easy!

### 5/5 — Finally found what I was looking for!

*2017-08-22, version 1.3*

Being 35, we're definitely worried about what I can and can't have. This app includes major brands and restaurants, as well. It's our first, so having this take out so much of the guesswork (which definitely felt a bit overwhelming researching on our own) is such an awesome thing to stumble across! I will definitely recommend it far and wide!

### 5/5 — My to go to list

*2017-07-07, version 1.3*

I'm on my 3rd pregnancy and definitely love that I can check what I can or not have, just as a piece of mind.  I wish I would've known about this app sooner.  Definitely great to have.

### 3/5 — Download but keep as back up

*2017-06-20, version 1.3*

He has a lot of fast food on this app, but not simple things like eggs and the cheeses that are good or even bad. It's a great idea and an app like this needs to be out there. But definitely need some work and fine tuning.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-03-19, version 1.3*

This has been my go-to app for what foods to buy for my wife in her first trimester.
