Pregnancy Companion App – Being pregnant  is an overload of information for any parent. Information changes quickly and many parents (especially new ones) want to know what is happening to their changing bodies. Silicon Valley based OB/GYNs Dr. Jan Rydfors and Dr. Aron Schuftan have teamed up with technology entrepreneur Denise Terry to announce the new Pregnancy Companion App. Expectant Moms can get pregnancy tips and tools right on their cell phones!

 There are so many facets to this app that when Thebabyspot.ca was asked to test it out. We knew exactly what to do. We had our senior writer, Alicia Arseneault, mother of four and a little one on the way (we are so excited!) to test it out.  Here are her five favourite things that this seasoned mom loved about the Pregnancy Companion App and what she thinks new mothers would love as well.

We get lost in our everyday life, from preparing the nursery to attending out baby shower. The everyday changes make a new mom curious, and this app can answer so many questions you may have .

What is going on in there? We often wonder what is happening in our bellies in that certain week or even day. New and seasoned moms a like will enjoy to find out what is changing with their baby.

Users can direct message the doctors at any time. How comforting is that!

Alicia assures this will put a lot of first time Mom’s fears  and concerns at ease. We all are learning along the way, but its great to know that some of the symptoms we are experiencing are normal and great to know when we should be consulting our doctor.

A great feature that lets you literally count the days before you will be a new Mom. The biggest change of your life, the best change of your life.

The app is available in English and Spanish in basic (free) or premium ($4.99) versions for both iOS and Android.
