Pregnancy and Due Date Tracker

Review by eFreeware

Most pregnancy apps settle into one job: a countdown, a calendar, or a forum. This one from Wachanga tries to hold the whole pregnancy in a single place, from the first positive test through to the day you deliver, and the range of tools on offer is what stands out. Weekly development updates sit alongside a diary, a contraction timer, a kick counter and a report you can hand to your doctor.

That breadth is the pitch, and it explains the audience. With more than 10 million installs and a 4.5 average across 217,732 ratings, it has clearly found a large group of expectant mothers who want their appointments, measurements and questions answered in one app rather than spread across several. If you are pregnant and would rather keep a single running record than juggle notebooks and screenshots, this is built for exactly that.

Weekly development, written for two readers

The core of the app is a week-by-week account of what is happening to your body and to your baby. The developer describes it as covering fetal development and the physical changes that come with each trimester, so the content is meant to be read as you go rather than all at once. Each week brings its own explanation of where things stand.

Alongside the development notes, the app offers nutritional and lifestyle advice aimed at both mother and baby, and it tracks major baby milestones as the pregnancy progresses. That combination is what makes it feel less like a reference book and more like a running commentary on your own timeline.

What I like about framing it this way is that it answers the question people actually type into a search bar at eleven at night, which is whether what they are feeling this week is normal. The app's job is to put that answer in context rather than leave you assembling it from scattered sources.

The diary that turns into a doctor's report

The tracking side is where the app does its most concrete work. You can log weight, bump size, blood pressure, mood and sexual activity day by day, building a record of the pregnancy as it happens. A pregnancy calendar keeps upcoming doctor's appointments and tests in view so they do not slip past.

The part that appeals to me most is what happens to all of that information. The app gathers the necessary data into a single report, converts it to PDF, and lets you send it by email ahead of a visit or show it straight from your phone. Anyone who has tried to recall three months of blood pressure readings in a consultation room will see the point immediately.

It is a sensible division of labor. You record what you can at home, and the app turns it into something a doctor can read in a couple of minutes, which is a better use of a short appointment than reconstructing dates from memory.

Contractions, kicks and the countdown to the hospital

Later in pregnancy the app shifts toward the practical questions of when to go in. The contraction counter is designed to tell real contractions apart from training ones, so you have a clearer idea of when it is time to head to the hospital. A kick counter covers the earlier stage, when you are first learning what your baby's movements feel like and how often they come.

The gestational age calculator works out both fetal and obstetric terms and, according to the developer, does so with accuracy to the day using formulas approved by doctors. That precision matters when dates get discussed at appointments, and having the same numbers in your pocket as your care team uses keeps the conversation simpler.

There is also a set of Kegel exercises for preparing for childbirth, with guidance on strengthening muscles before labor. It is a small addition next to the tracking tools, but it fits the app's habit of covering the parts of pregnancy that are easy to postpone.

Checklists, to-do lists and keeping the days organized

Each trimester comes with its own checklist, and you can add items of your own to those lists, as well as keeping general to-do lists for the days ahead. For anyone who finds that pregnancy generates an endless supply of small administrative tasks, this is a way to get them out of your head and into a place you will actually look at.

The app also synchronizes with the Health app to save your health data.

The developer asks for comments and suggestions by email, which suggests the checklist and diary features are treated as things that can grow with user feedback. How much that matters to you depends on whether you like the idea of an app that adjusts to what its users ask for.

What you need before you start

Setup is built around your due date, since the due date calculator is the entry point for everything else. Once that is in place, the week-by-week content, the calendar and the gestational age figures all follow from it, so getting the date right at the start is worth a few minutes of care.

The app is free to download and it does carry ads, with in-app purchases available as well.

The app was released in August 2016 and last updated in September 2026, so it has been maintained over a long stretch rather than left as a one-off project. For something you may rely on weekly for nine months, that history is reassuring.

Who will get the most from it

This is an app for expectant mothers who want to be organized about pregnancy rather than simply informed. If you are the sort of person who keeps a record of appointments, notes changes in your body and likes having numbers to show a doctor, the diary, calendar and PDF report will earn their place quickly.

It also suits anyone who prefers one app to a handful of separate tools. The combination of weekly reading, tracking, checklists and contraction timing means the app can stay open across the whole pregnancy instead of being abandoned after the first trimester.

First-time mothers may find the weekly development explanations and the contraction counter especially useful, since both address situations you have not been through before. Those further along will likely lean on the diary, the report and the checklists, which are the parts that benefit from repetition.

A steady companion from test to delivery

The case for this app rests on how much of pregnancy it covers without becoming unwieldy.

The trade-offs are the ones you would expect from a free app of this size: it carries ads and offers in-app purchases, and the value depends on how much you actually use the tracking tools. If you want only a countdown to your due date, most of what is here will go untouched.

For expectant mothers who want their pregnancy recorded properly and something useful to bring to appointments, it is a straightforward recommendation. The long update history and the large, well-rated user base suggest it is a dependable thing to keep on your phone for the months ahead.
