My Thoughts

This is the type of product that makes me want to have another child. I would of loved keeping track of my pregnancy this way and recording all my ups, downs and moods & foods. What fun! I do have to say that the BabyBump app thinks of everything and presents it in such a fun, colorful way. After browsing through the app I found that they actually help you keep track of things I don’t think I can even recall from any of the three of my pregnancies. Great idea for an app and a well rounded one at that! I recommend it to everyone who is expecting. Definitely check out the Alt12 website for even more great features to this wonderful app.
