1. 5/5Great app, but these comparisons are bonkers

   So my wife and I have been using this app to track the baby’s growth, learn about our pregnancy, and try to be the best first timers we can be. However, these baby size comparisons are absolute bonkers. From endive to kiwi, cabbage to lettuce? A ball fruit to a long fruit? Week over week these size comparisons are wild and so out of left field. Like I get that they are “standard/average” but like we all know there’s like 3 to 4 popular heads of lettuce? Romain is different than green leaf which is different than iceberg. All of them differing in both shape, size, and weight. In the first trimester, the baby gets compare to endive. Have you seen endive? It can get huge. Also, endive can be either endive or radicchio and those are two vastly different plants. And like like orange to squash to grapefruit or something like that. I also believe there was a comparison jump from a round citrus or melon to a long vegetable. Week 18- artichoke to mango to banana to endive to coconut to grapefruit to cauliflower to kale and now lettuce. So are we comparing length or weight? And later on it’s compared to asparagus??? At 16.2 inches long? I’ve seen asparagus that long- BUT I’ve been a professional chef. Asparagus in a store that large is RARE. but again, length or weight?? The app has been very informative for a lot of things, but the size comparison is UNHINGED. Very entertaining, and not consistent or regulated at all.

2. 5/5Favorite app! Love the new update too!

   It’s so approachable, comprehensive and educational. I feel so informed with everything that is happening along the way. A lot of times, a new symptom will develop and I’ll open the bump app and it just happens to be what one of the daily articles is about! Everything is so on point and relevant. You get the cute “fruit” size updates, week by week informational updates on what to expect, daily articles, appointment calendar, weekly checklists on things that will probably be coming up soon or things to get done, 3D views on what baby looks like and what’s developing that week, plus 3D view of what is happening inside your own body as well! There’s forums, and the new update that immediately says how far along you are and how many weeks to go is great! I truly love this app for pregnancy and feel very lucky to have found it. I don’t feel “lost” or filled with unending questions, instead— I feel as in control as possible during pregnancy! Highly recommend.

3. 3/5Funny and cute, but not for lower income parent

   It’s funny how ridiculous the daily facts are as they range so wildly from day to day! Not much for education but every day we get a good laugh. I do enjoy how the articles seem to match up with symptoms Ive likely been experiencing though and even the questions and worries on my mind week by week, even how to help my dogs adjust to a baby in the house! They are fun to read and share with my partner. However, many of the articles are aggressively pointing you to spend lots and lots of money on sponsored items. As this app is free I understand that’s how they make their money, but it can be a little condescending if you don’t have money for a $2000 dollar “push present” or the latest in high fashion maternity wear. It seems to only really help navigate surviving pregnancy in an office setting with white collar jobs, and nothing about blue collar physically demanding jobs. Lots of impractical advice around maternity leave which many new moms can only have the bare minimum 6 weeks if they can afford to take that long. Also, the only formula positive thing I have seen in the entire app or articles is an ad for a high end formula. I enjoy the app for what it is, but at the end of the day there’s a lot of room for improvement.

4. 4/5The Bump

   I really love this app. Now, do I love it because it continuously reminds me that I’m going to become a grandmother or because it’s a solid place for information and resources? Lemme say, it’s BOTH!! I will say I also have another app download that I had to pay a tiny fee for. But what I wish this app had (that the other does) is a place to upload my pics of my daughter’s growing belly. And whatever other pictures I decide I want to keep on the app. This app does allow you to make changes to I absolutely appreciate The Bump’s consistent flow of both daily changes and weekly changes as they’re are a lot of fun. My daughter, my mother (who will become a great grandmother), and myself almost have a daily race to see who gets to the app first upon awakening, so that we can be the first one of the day to send a .gif to our group message about which item the baby is to be compared. Like today my daughter is 16 weeks along and this week’s comparison of the Bebe is the size of an avocado. The daily fact today is that Bebe is the size of a chipmunk (minus their tail)! Always so cute. So now I’m ~24 weeks away from becoming a grandmother to a Capricorn Bebe. 🥰

5. 1/5Major issues

   Number one, the “daily fact” is a comparison of the size of baby to an object. These have become a comedy topic for friends and family as the daily size of my baby went from a lime to a Swedish fish, to a plum, to being able to “fit on a sugar packet.” I send the daily “fact” and we laugh about how the baby may have significantly shrunk for the day. All fun and games. My other issue with the app, however is much more serious… In an article about when you can determine the sex/gender of your baby, the article gives a long paragraph defining gender as something that the baby will be able to determine as he or she grows… this is a NEW THEORY that has only come about in recent pop culture and is being presented as FACT in this article. This THEORY is very controversial and is NOT accepted by the majority of scientists and physicians, or the general population, but rather an agenda being pushed by a relatively small group people. The idea of gender fluidity being pushed in an article and being presented as fact is disgusting. The “daily fact” was funny, but with this disturbing article I will not be deleting the app immediately and I encourage other free-thinking individuals who do not just jump on the band wagon of every “popular” hot topic that contradicts thousands of years of social norms to do the same.
