Features of the My Pregnancy Calendar App by The Bump for the iPhone include:
-- Daily Updates on Baby's Development and Mom's Symptoms. When your baby
reaches eight weeks, you'll be notified that she's the size of a
raspberry, she's moving her arms and legs like crazy and her taste buds
are forming. If grandma's dying to know how big baby is each week, you
can easily email the update to her or share it on Facebook and Twitter.
You'll also get daily updates on your own body changes and information
on how to deal with hormones, aches, pains, nausea and more.
-- Customizable Appointments and To-Dos. If you've just scheduled your
first ultrasound, you can add the appointment to your app, which will
automatically drop it into your pregnancy calendar and send a reminder
to your email before the big day. You can also add to-do items, such as
"pack the hospital bag" and "paint the nursery," so pregnancy brain will
never knock you off track!
-- Seamless Syncing. The best part about adding your own to-dos and
appointments to the calendar and checking them off? It seamlessly syncs
with your Pregnancy Calendar on TheBump.com so you're always on track,
whether checking to-dos from your work computer or from your phone while
on the go.
-- Important Checkup and Test Information. Undecided if you should get a
CVS test? The calendar will automatically include suggested tests and
checkups with information on what will go on during the appointment and
how to decide if it's right for you.
-- Community On the Go. The heart of TheBump.com has always been its
community, with more than 500,000 posts per month on more than 100
message boards ranging from Baby Showers to Breastfeeding. All the
message boards where moms love to give advice and ask questions are
available through the app so women can connect with each other whenever
and wherever they are.
-- Pregnancy Safety Advice. Not sure if you can eat sushi while pregnant?
Need to color your hair but you're scared it will harm the baby? This
app is loaded with safety information and advice on what's totally safe
and what you should absolutely avoid during those nine months. You can
also share this information on Google+, Twitter, Facebook and email.
-- Weekly Bump Photo Gallery. Keep track of your growing bump each week in
the pregnancy bump photo gallery. Simply snap a picture and upload it to
the appropriate week to create a growing nine-month gallery; then easily
share the pic with your family and friends on Facebook, Twitter and
email.
-- Daily Journal Notes. Many moms want to remember exactly how they felt
when they found out the sex of their baby or what they experienced
during the final month of pregnancy. With the daily notes function,
comments can be written and added to the calendar, creating a pregnancy
journal that you can look back on anytime you want to relive the journey
all over again!
