Do I need to create an account?

Unlike many other pregnancy apps, you do not need to create an account with us. You can use our App straight away without signing up.

However, if you want your data to be saved securely, in case you ever need to restore the App or your Phone, we advise you to sign up.

What are the benefits of creating an account?

If you create an account, a back-up of your data will automatically be saved on our secure server, so you won't have to worry about losing any of your personal pregnancy data if you ever need to restore the App or your Phone.

Setting up a new account only takes about a minute. You'll be asked to enter your name, email address, and a password. We will also ask a few questions that will help us to personalize the App for you, such as your gender and location.

Your relationship to baby

If you are not pregnant yourself, but want to follow your wife’s, daughter’s, or sister’s pregnancy, you can still use our App. Simply select your relationship to the baby. This setting will change the welcome text on the home screen.

If you are a single mom, you can select this option. This will display information about single parenting in the weekly section.

Select baby’s gender

If you already know your baby’s gender you can set it here. This will gender-personalize some of the text in the weekly info section. Unfortunately the text will not change for twin and multiple pregnancies, but we did try to include as much information as possible on twin/multiple pregnancies in the App. However, if you choose ‘twins’, you will be able to see more 3D images of twins in the images section.

How to set your Due Date

Pregnancy normally lasts between 37-42 weeks, on average 280 days, calculated from the first day of your last period. The extra two weeks at the beginning, is added because gestational age is counted starting from the last menstrual period (LMP), rather than from the actual date of conception (or ovulation). So when medical staff say you are 4 weeks pregnant, you are actually physically only two weeks pregnant.

You can use the due date calculator to work out when you might expect your baby to arrive. This will give you a rough idea. As part of your antenatal care, your midwife or obstetrician will probably also offer you a dating scan (ultrasound) that will give you a more accurate date for the birth of your baby.

Fill in your due date

This is the due date as given by your obstetrician or midwife.

Most women receive a dating scan (ultrasound) towards the end of the first trimester. The scan is usually done between weeks 10 and 14. Dating scans are usually very accurate in terms of judging how many weeks and days the fetus is at the time of the scan.

Calculate via date of period

You can also estimate your due date by filling in the first day of your last period (based on a 28 day cycle). The App will then automatically calculate your Due Date based on this. Some women's cycles are not exactly 28 days. If your cycle is shorter or longer than 28 days, please use the date of conception calculation instead.

Calculate via date of conception

You can estimate your due date, by filling in the day of ovulation (conception). As not all women have the text-book 28-day cycle with ovulation occurring around day 14, a more accurate due date could be given by dating the pregnancy from ovulation (day of conception) and by adding 38 weeks to the ovulation date.

Please keep in mind that fewer than five per cent of babies are born on their estimated due date. The point of your due date is to give you an approximate idea of when your baby might arrive, and to give medical staff a yardstick against which to measure your baby's development in the womb.

How can I stop the App?

If your baby has been born, turn the ‘Baby born?’ slider to ‘yes’ and fill in baby’s birth date.

If you ever want to stop using the App (e.g. because of a miscarriage), simply reset the App. By pressing the reset button, you will delete all personal entered data and the application will return to the original state when you purchased it. Press this button ONLY when you are absolutely sure you want to reset the complete application.

Show week: current or completed?

This slider allows you to follow your pregnancy in the App by ‘current week’ or ‘completed’ week. It's up to you which display you prefer to see.

Most users prefer to follow their pregnancy by ‘completed’ week, and this is also the default setting in our App. The completed week will show week 30, when you are 30 weeks and 4 days pregnant.

However, you may want to follow your pregnancy by ‘current’ week. If so, simply move the slider. The 'current week' setting rounds up to the nearest whole week. So when you are 30 weeks and 4 days, you are in your current 31st week of pregnancy.

In App upgrade

The free version only goes up to week 14. If you want to see all 42 weeks, you will need to upgrade to the paid version. We charge a small amount for the App in order to pay for our development costs, but we hope you will appreciate the great content you get in return for it.

The price for the upgrade is a one-time payment, that will unlock ALL the features in the App. It's less than what you’d pay for a pregnancy magazine in your local store.
