My Wife and I are expecting our second child. I really liked the free version but my curiosity got the better of me so I paid for the full version. Let me tell you, that I wish I had all of that information the first time. The very first time I heard the term pre-eclampsia was the day my wife was admitted to the hospital at 29 weeks. Everything this app has to offer is pure gold. Great app for first time dads.
Hyperemesis gravidarum
bradleydaddyy
It saddens me to see all this app offers but nothing on Hyperemesis gravidarum my wife has this incurable disease that has many asking once I tell them she is HG they ask what is it? There are a good few women who have this and it’s not talked about enough to educate people on the topic, it’s a very scary and life threatening disease to the mother and baby and I hope to see in the future more talk about this and ways to help these women who suffer through it if they even can make it through it without termination or death to the baby or mother everyday I wake up knowing I could lose one or both and all I can do is watch her suffer and i sit Idlelea by her it’s a pain I suffer knowing there’s nothing I can do to help so I hope in this review something can help change the topic of HG till then i will still be an advocate for those women in hopes of change and talk
Third Time Around
Cleazell
This is my third child and I’ve used this app every single time. It’s so much great information in this app, and it got jokes 😂😂😂But most definitely keeps you up to date on what’s going on with you child and the mother, so as a father you are prepared for what’s going on with baby and your wife.It’s great.
Great for dads
miggy_cali
Overall this app was great for me as a new dad to be! It was fun to see the different analogies they and looked forward to the weekly updates with the wife! Would definitely recommend. My one suggestion would be to add a sharing function so I can share the weekly updates with my wife.
Developer Response
Thanks for the great feedback and congratulations on joining the dad club! We completely agree with you - a sharing feature is on the way. Thanks for taking the time to review our app and best wishes for the adventures ahead.
An overhaul of the weekly sizes including all new icons and support for people who'd prefer not to see meat or alcohol - go to settings to select plant-based or alcohol-free preferences
