Alongside - Pregnancy Journal
Gentle Tracking & Support
Free · Designed for iPad
Pregnancy & postpartum journal
Alongside was created from lived experience. Pregnancy and postpartum are not always linear. For some parents, postpartum comes with loss. The body goes through recovery, but there is no baby to hold. Many parents describe how difficult it is to keep receiving pregnancy updates, notifications, or congratulatory messages after loss. Even small moments can be triggering.
Alongside was designed to respond to this reality. It gives parents control over language, timing, and content. It recognises pregnancy, postpartum, and loss without assuming one experience fits all.
Built with guidance from a Red Nose Hospital to Home counsellor, Alongside is a free digital journal that supports every pregnancy journey, including those marked by loss. It helps parents reflect, track, and ground themselves in a way that feels safe and personal.
