My Birth Journal 4+

A super exciting way to chronical and preserve your pregnancy journey while utilizing an innovative communication method to share your real time pregnancy announcements and updates with your family and friends through push notifications. The App also provides a one-of-a-kind Delivery Tracker with access to contraction timers and feeding, diaper change, sleep, and tummy time logs once the baby arrives.
While sitting in a waiting room anxiously awaiting the arrival of my best friend’s first grandchild, I couldn’t help but wonder what is going on in there. I began to think there has to be an easy way for a parent to update their family and friends with ease but not distract from their beautiful moment. And that was the inspiration for the Delivery Tracker within the app.

The Delivery Tracker is comprised of 10 pre-programmed notifications while in labor. With just a few clicks and in seconds, the parent or partner can bring their village along on the journey. Keep them up-to-date whether contractions have begun, the drive has started to the hospital or birthing center, water broke, dilated/effaced, epidural time, time to push, having a C-section and most importantly when the baby has arrived. Your family and friends will anxiously await your play-by-play and can cheer you on as you experience one of the most memorable days of your life.

Summary:

• Parents chronical and archive their pregnancy journey (entries can be marked private).
• By using a unique code provided by the expectant parents, family and friends download the app to walk alongside the parent during their birth journey.
• Parents designate each user as Close Family, Family, or Friend.
• When the parent decides to provide an update, a push notification is sent to family and friends.
• Keeping family and friends informed and engaged during this exciting time!

How it works:
• The share child code feature allows you to send the code you selected at registration with your family and friends. It gives you the opportunity to share updates with only those family and friends that use your code to download the My Birth Journal app.
• The define group option allows you to designate each contact that downloads the My Birth Journal app into a specified group, close family, family and friends. With this option, you choose which group(s) get notifications. As an example, for more personal or sensitive information, you may only want to share with those contacts you added to your “close family” group.
• Items that can be shared within the app:
• Gender Reveal
• Dr. appointment updates
• Baby journal updates
• The Delivery Tracker
• Picture and videos
• The parent can also add their baby registries so friends and family have single click access to your registry
• Includes a contraction tracker that allows you to track the number, duration and frequency of your contractions.
• The tracker will record the total number of contractions in a daily 24-hour period and resets at midnight. Once you have recorded multiple contractions, the number of contractions, the average duration and frequency are recorded for the past hour.
• And once the baby is born, there are feeding, sleeping, diaper change and tummy time logs with 7-14-30 day reporting of the entries in the logs so you can determine any trends or patterns.
• Registration only requires your name, email (to verify you) and due date. We do not store passwords and we will only use the data provided for analytics. You can be assured your information will not be shared with any outside 3rd parties. Our privacy policy is included in the app on the registration page for your review.
