MyBaby Pregnancy Guide 4.0

The MyBaby™ Pregnancy Guide offers a unique window into the early stages of prenatal development, ideal for expectant parents eager to understand what their baby looks like and how they are developing. This application features rare first-trimester video clips showcasing the living human embryo and early fetus, which have captivated audiences worldwide, garnering tens of millions of views.

In this app, prenatal ages are referenced from fertilization, providing an accurate developmental timeline. Users can observe astonishing details as early as 4½ weeks after fertilization (or 6½ weeks after the last menstrual period), including the heart beating in slow motion and the initial movements of the head, jaw, tongue, hands, and feet. The growth of vital organs such as the brain and liver, alongside the formation of fingers and toes, as well as the development of the placenta and umbilical cord are also documented within this immersive experience.

Additionally, the app serves as an informative resource regarding baby milestones throughout pregnancy. Weekly movies and summaries derived from over a century of human development research provide insights into typical growth patterns and activities occurring at various stages.

• A due date calculator for determining or verifying your expected delivery date.
• A countdown to your due date.
• Tracking tools for monitoring typical weight and length growth of your baby.
• Access to view and listen to the prenatal heartbeat.
