Best Pregnancy Apps | POPSUGAR Family

Expectful ($8.99 a month)

Sure, you could use your regular meditation app during pregnancy. But Expectful is designed specifically for pregnant people and is centered around meditation, but contains so much more.

“I’ve found everything I was looking for in the Expectful app,” one Redditor posted to the site. “It’s science based very easy to navigate, it has meditations, courses and a comprehensive Hypnobirthing course. The courses are laid out in a professional manner that makes them easy to understand and apply. It doesn’t hurt that the customer service is great.”
