C vs Postpartum Tracker

C-Care aims to provide new mothers with relevant educational material before and after Cesarean delivery. Our first version focuses on anesthesia care, and will be used in a study by the Anesthesia Research Team at the IWK Health Centre to better understand how new mothers will use the App. The data collected through C-Care will not contain any of your personal information, and can help improve care for future mothers. For more information or help with C-Care, please email AnesthesiaResearch@iwk.nshealth.ca.

Postpartum Tracker is the recovery companion and postpartum journal built for mothers, not babies, with your postpartum wellness at the center. From day one through the fourth trimester and beyond, track your mood, healing, breastfeeding, sleep, hormones, and screen for postpartum depression and anxiety in one calm, organized space. The postpartum window is the most under-served stretch of a mother's life. Every other app pivots to baby tracking once the baby arrives. Postpartum Tracker keeps you, the mother, at the center.

You are healing. This is harder than anyone told you. Postpartum Tracker is built around that truth. The mood swings, the bleeding that won't stop, the latch that won't work, the sleep that isn't there, the version of you that you can't find. Every screen reflects what new moms actually live through, in language that does not pretend. IMPORTANT This app is for informational tracking only. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale included is a validated self-screening instrument, not a diagnosis. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional, including your OB, midwife, lactation consultant, or mental-health provider, before starting, changing or stopping any treatment, medication or care plan.
