Free pregnancy tracking application for the Apple iPad

The Hello Baby Pregnancy Calendar, a free iPad app developed by Pampers, is a must have application for expectant mothers, according to medical reviewers at iMedicalapps.com. This application is also a great resource for OB/GYN physicians to use in the office setting with patients. Other providers who perform prenatal visits, such as family medicine practitioners, could use the app in the same capacity.

This is a useful app for doctors who perform pre-natal visits and have an iPad in the office setting. It informs patients of the key benchmarks during their pregnancy, and allows them to better visualize the information.

Often, the best part of a pre-natal visit is when doctors check for fetal heart tones, which is the highlight of the visit for patients and family members. This iPad app adds visual imagery to the already standard auditory feedback received from the fetal heart tones.

When you open up the app you are shown a life-size picture of a fetus, and can scroll through to the applicable gestational week. Once at the correct week, you are able to view key anatomical information of the fetus. The app allows you to connect to the Pampers village website, and also has social integration built in.

Expectant moms can enter their due dates to track week-by-week typical progress and learn about the important changes happening, and can add personalized details like the baby’s due date, name, size, and weight.
