Useful Apps

Having a baby changes everything, starting with the moment you realize you’re pregnant. Combating morning sickness, scheduling doctor’s visits, remembering to take your prenatal vitamins, tracking your quickly growing baby — there’s so much to keep track of.

In the age of advancing technology, there are now apps that you can use to support your pregnancy. However, if anything feels concerning to you, you should still contact your midwife.
