New to the app, the app is personalised to you. It uses (if chosen), your babies name and partners name when showing each article. It's very informative and has lots of straightforward articles and good research all baby related. It's a great handy app to go to if you have any pregnancy or baby concerns and I feel it reassures you by having real life videos of real life experiences from others. Definitely have this App on your phone! I wished I had put it on right from the beginning!

I really like this app. I really like the daily updates. However, the tone it takes about a woman's body is often surprisingly negative. See for example the update, "Help! I've got old lady legs!" in week 28. That's an extremely reductive way to look at changes to a woman's body / the natural aging process. I assume after birth I'm going to start being urged to think about my weight and how I can lose it asap. One example of several I could have picked.

Thanks for your feedback! We aim to take a supportive but light-hearted tone to the bodily changes of pregnancy, but we are always keen to improve anything that doesn’t sound right to users. We have updated this entry and will look more widely at improvements we could make. We welcome suggestions. Please contact babybuddy@bestbeginnings.org.uk

I love this app and getting updates and new information every day. The initial beta I deleted because of all the log in issues, but they seem to be resolved now. I've been logged on for a few days and not booted off, and I can paste in my password. The content on the app is brilliant and I've learned so much from the videos and little notes about pregnancy. It is free with no ads. So glad the issues are sorted! The devs are also super responsive if there's a problem and like... actually fix it!
