I’m a first time mum and I’m absolutely loving the app. It has awesome weekly updates about your baby during pregnancy as well as when they are a baby. The weekly updates also have links to relevant articles - most of the time the links are things I’ve literally been starting to wonder about that week and then they appear :) In addition to their articles, the forums are amazing. You are grouped into a forum with others with the same due date. This means the questions others ask are often similar to what I was experiencing/wondering at the time. It’s comforting both pregnant and as a new mum to not only know that others are experiencing the same issues/challenges/achievements but also to hear other mum’s ideas/tips/advice and/or just “I’m in the same boat too”. I have to admit that when I get up for my son’s early morning feed, one of my first things I do when I get on my phone is check my emails for the link to the latest forum updates. Thank you Baby Center for being such a valuable resource :)

2 years ago I submitted a review and was emailed in response. I was pleased that my review had been read and I was hopeful that it would be actioned upon. Pregnant again, I am saddened to see that no changes were implemented. This app needs an option for the sad even of a stillbirth. There are 6 babies stillborn everyday in Australia. This app is an incredibly popular app amongst pregnant mothers, this means that mothers are confronted with having to select that their baby has arrived with a joyful animation of a baby and celebrations with the text ‘enjoy the snuggles’. To see this, when you have just delivered your deceased baby is horrible. Parents then have a choice- to either delete that child from the app (imagine deleting your child because they died...) or pretend that their baby was fine and enter their details and have milestone emails continue to be sent. A constant reminder that you buried your precious baby, and no they aren’t starting solids.... this impacts and adds to trauma. PLEASE add an option where you can select that your baby was born but grew it’s angel wings. Associated emails could then have targeted support, like links to Red Nose, stillbirth foundation and bears of hope. Please make the right change, for the sake of helping reduce the impacts of trauma. I truly hope to hear back from you and see changes to your app. Rose

Hi Rose_potter, We really appreciate you getting in touch with us again about this important and sensitive topic. Please be assured that we have not forgotten about this. We have added an option to our US app now for users who have sadly suffered a loss. We are looking into rolling this out to the apps in our other markets too. We’re sorry this hasn’t been as fast it would ideally have been. It is no reflection on how much we respect and support our users who have lost a baby. We appreciate you being so patient with us while we work on developing this functionality. Kind regards, The BabyCenter Team.

This is the best pregnancy tracking app available. They provide a lot of useful information, pictures and videos for every week of the pregnancy and after once your baby is born. I enjoy so much being able to see my baby every week and know where they’re at. The app also provides helpful articles that are relevant for each stage of your pregnancy. I first downloaded it in 2017 when I was pregnant with my first and have since redownloaded the app for my next pregnancy because of how much I loved it the first time. I highly recommend this app to my new mum friends. ☺️

As a first time mum and not knowing much of what I was doing in the start I thought the app was helpful as some sort of guidance. Nowadays after having a quite difficult baby and reading and learning a lot about child development I can see the info provided is often outdated and limited. For example, even though they don’t push this sort of opinion down your throat they do suggest options of sleep training rather than explaining and normalizing infant “normal” sleep and explaining why babies sleep like they do. This week I got an email suggesting time outs for a 2 year old and I was shocked as I know for a fact this could never work positively for any child can you imagine for a 2yo. That’s why I’m writing this review. If you are an inexperienced mumma do your own research, and maybe just use the app as a guide. Always make your own mind up and listen to your child. Learning about their brain development and why they act the way they do was extremely important for me as a mum
