    Not for during pregnancy, but once my son arrived I loved Huckleberry as a FTM! Tracking feeding and diaper changes as they happened helped so much. I could reference back when asked at doctors appointments, no way was my foggy brain going to remember! I still used the growth tracker now for my toddler just for fun 😊 

    Stay away from the What to Expect app, I found the "community" there to be very rude and unhelpful. The Bump is way better!

    I like the books by Emily Oster, like Expecting Better. Lots of science backed, data driven info on pregnancy and early childhood.
