App of the Week – Full Term

So you think having a baby is easy. Better not say that to any woman. The act of giving birth requires careful preparation by the parents and medical attention. As new parents you have to know what’s happening and what to do from the moment you learn you are pregnant to the moment you give birth and, to be honest, every day for the next 18 years! That’s why Full Term is the App of the Week.

In the moments before giving birth things start to happen. Contractions begin and keeping track of them is a vital part of knowing when the big event is about to happen. Full Term pregnancy app has a simple to use feature that allows the user to press a green button when the contraction begins and a red button when they stop. This creates a easy to read chart that shows the progression of the contractions. You can then text the information to your doctor for his evaluation. You can also add notes to the chart to keep of track of details you may need to pass on to the doctor later. The app also holds a reference section  provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Full Term also offers a kick counter to use throughout the pregnancy to track the new babies activity level.

Full Term is free and available for Apple and Android devices.

To be fair there are plenty of other pregnancy apps on the market all with their own unique features. As a matter of fact, according to a report from Citrix  pregnancy apps are more popular than fitness apps. To learn more about pregnancy apps please visit the New York Times website.
