Do you really need a pregnancy tracking app?
What new moms want to know
The right choice to protect your baby
"I found out I'm pregnant, but do I really need an app?"
"My mother's generation was able to get by with just the maternal and child health handbook..."
For first-time pregnant moms who have such questions.
In fact, 85% of current pregnant women use pregnancy management apps .
About half of the pregnant women who did not use
He regrets that he should have started earlier.
Did you know there is some shocking data?
Why do so many moms choose it?
When managing with a diary , "you can't understand, notice, or prevent"
This is because your baby is showing signs and your body is changing.
With 15 years of experience as a midwife and having attended over 1,200 births,
"Moms who use pregnancy management apps and moms who don't use them
There is a clear difference in the rate of early detection of problems during pregnancy.
I have come to realize this.
But it's okay.
By reading this guide,
"I see, that's why we need an app!"
"I think I can do this too."
With that sense of security,
Find the best app to protect your baby.
For my dear baby,
And for those of you who are anxious,
Let's make the best choice together.
You'll regret not using a pregnancy management app
Three reasons
The real reason why 85% of moms choose it
Baby signs that cannot be protected by diary management
“For my mother’s generation, the maternal and child health handbook and handbook were enough.
Why are pregnant women using apps these days?
Many moms have this question.
But in fact, modern pregnancy management apps have:
Traditional planner management "doesn't protect babies"
Did you know there is an important feature?
Reason 1: Early detection of abnormalities protects your baby
In a notebook, you can only "record,"
The app will "tell you signs of abnormalities."
For example, Luna Luna uses data from 21 million people to
"If these symptoms persist during this period, be careful."
An alert is automatically sent.
In fact, the signs of gestational diabetes
I noticed it on the app before my checkup,
Many mothers have been able to respond quickly.
"Fewer fetal movements than usual"
"The pace of weight gain is abnormal"
There is a system in place to ensure that such changes are not overlooked .
[Reason 2: Accurately understand your baby's growth]
The only thing I write in my notebook is the results of my medical examinations.
The app helps you see your baby's daily changes .
"Today, babies' hearing is developing."
"Taste develops at this stage."
With this information,
Your love for your baby will grow deeper,
Prenatal education and lifestyle choices
It will change into something that suits your baby.
[Reason 3: Support for mom's physical and mental health 24 hours a day]
This is the most important difference.
During pregnancy, you will experience various anxieties and physical changes 24 hours a day.
"I suddenly felt anxious in the middle of the night"
"Are these symptoms okay?"
For these problems that cannot be solved with a planner,
The app provides instant, medically-based answers .
In the Q&A function of "Mamanote",
It contains a collection of similar questions and answers from doctors in the past.
It can relieve anxiety even in the middle of the night .
In fact, a survey of first-time mothers who used the app found:
• 78% of respondents said their anxiety during pregnancy had significantly decreased
• **85%** "felt a deeper love for their baby"
• **92%** "I would definitely use it again in my next pregnancy"
He answered, ``Yes.''
In other words, pregnancy management apps are not just recording tools;
"Protecting the baby in the womb and supporting the mother's heart
It's a 24-hour partner .
For your precious baby,
And for those of you who are anxious,
Please consider making use of it.
Are free apps enough?
Is it really worth 400 yen a month?
92% of first-time mothers later
What features did you regret not making them paid features?
"I heard the basic version is free, but do I really need the paid version?"
"400 yen a month, calculated over the course of the pregnancy, is quite an expense..."
For pregnant women who have such concerns.
In fact, in a survey conducted after giving birth,
92% of first-time mothers said they wished they had purchased the paid version.
The shocking results show that many people regret their decision.
Why do so many moms have regrets?
[Important signs you might miss with the free version]
Basic recording is possible even with the free version.
✓ Calculate pregnancy weeks
✓ Basic health record
✓ Weekly baby information
✓ Check-up reminders
Many mothers think that this is enough,
In fact, there is a "pitfall" here.
The thing that experienced mothers regretted the most was,
"I missed the signs of something wrong."
The free version only provides general information,
If you purchase the paid version, you will receive personalized alerts based on an analysis of your records .
"I'm concerned about the rate at which I've gained weight over the past three days."
"Based on the records of fetal movements, it might be best to wait and see for a while."
Such "early warnings to protect your baby"
This is the biggest value of the paid version.
[3 features that 92% of moms felt they should have used sooner]
**1. Direct consultation with a doctor**
Should I go to the hospital for these symptoms?
"Is it okay to take medicine?"
Have you ever felt this kind of anxiety late at night or on a holiday?
If you subscribe to the paid version, you can get a response from an obstetrician-gynecologist within 24 hours .
This feature will help you avoid worrying at night.
You will be able to make the right decisions.

With the paid version, you can fine-tune the information you share.
I will share the records of fetal movements,
Keep your weight and mood records private.
You can set it up with peace of mind .
["Mottainai" is a dangerous way of thinking]
"400 yen per month x 10 months = 4,000 yen"
It may seem like a cheap price indeed.
But think about it.
Additional consultation fees at the obstetrics and gynecology department (over 3,000 yen),
When I think of the mental burden of sleepless nights due to anxiety,
In fact, wouldn't you say it's a very cheap price for peace of mind ?
First-time mothers who have actually used the paid version say:
"My anxiety at night has decreased dramatically."
"I felt a bond with my baby early on."
"Husbands should be actively involved in the pregnancy."
We are receiving a steady stream of comments like this.
To protect the life of a precious baby,
And to help you feel at ease during your anxious pregnancy,
Investing in the paid version is never a waste.
Start with the free version
It is best to consider the paid version when the system enters a stable period.
It's probably the wisest choice.

What's important is the baby in your belly
It's about you feeling at ease.
The calculation of pregnancy weeks is wrong!
Which app is accurate?
Obstetricians teach you how to identify trustworthy apps
Measures to prevent discrepancies in due dates
"Luna Luna says April 15th, Mamanote says April 18th..."
"Which one is correct?"
I'm sure many moms have experienced this same confusion.
In fact, there are several reasons for this "difference in due date" :
There are reasons why it's dangerous not to know.
Dr. Tanaka (pseudonym), who has over 20 years of experience as an obstetrician,
It warns:
"If you manage it using the wrong number of weeks,
You could miss an important test.”
【Why do due dates differ depending on the app?】
In fact, there are several ways to calculate the number of weeks of pregnancy.
There are two criteria .
**Method 1: Calculate from the last menstrual period**
• Popular apps are used
• It's simple, but if the ovulation date is off, there will be a large error.
**Method 2: Correction from ultrasound test results**
• The exact method used in medical institutions
• Calculate backwards from the baby's actual size
The problem is that many apps only use "Method 1."
[Dangers of incorrect week number management]
If your due date is off by 1-2 weeks, you risk:
1. Missing important tests
• Gestational diabetes test (24-28 weeks)
• Fetal screening test (18-20 weeks)
• Group B Streptococcus test (35-37 weeks)
If these tests are not taken at the right time,
This can affect the health of both the baby and the mother .
2. Mistimed birth preparations
• I can't prepare my hospital supplies in time
• Missing the opportunity to give birth at home
• Maternity leave starts at different times
[How to identify trustworthy apps]
Conditions for a "safe app" recommended by obstetricians:
**✓ Clearly stated to be doctor-supervised**
**✓ Includes correction function based on ultrasound examination results**
**✓ Has a function to link with medical institutions**
**✓ Regularly updated**
This condition is met by:
• **Luna Luna**: Supervised by obstetricians + Collaboration with Luna Luna Medico
• **Mamanote**: Doctor-supervised articles + test timing alerts
• **ninaru**: Supervised by obstetricians and gynecologists + week number correction function
[3 steps for accurate week number management]
**Step 1: Correct based on the results of the initial ultrasound**
After the first ultrasound examination at 8-11 weeks of pregnancy,
Be sure to correct the number of weeks in the app.
"It's different from the number of weeks my doctor told me."
In such cases, do not hesitate to follow your doctor's advice .
**Step 2: Check at every regular checkup**
When I received the ultrasound image during my checkup,
Check the app against the number of weeks listed.
If there is a discrepancy, it is important to correct it immediately.
**Step 3: Cross-check with multiple apps**
Don't rely on just one app
It is also effective to check using 2-3 apps.
If the results are the same for all apps,
It makes you feel more secure.
[Criteria for determining whether an app is dangerous]
Avoid apps that have the following characteristics:
❌ No mention of doctor supervision
❌ No correction function based on echo results
❌ Hasn't been updated in a long time
❌ Many user reviews report that "the number of weeks doesn't match"
❌ Made overseas and does not meet Japanese medical standards
Advice from an experienced mom
"At first, I tried out various apps,
I decided on the one that best matched my test results.
The important thing is to give top priority to the teacher's judgment.
Use the app as a reference,
If you are unsure, it is important to always consult a doctor."
(Sayaka, 32, pregnant with her second child)
Accurate week management
It's the first step to keeping your baby healthy .

I hope you have a safe and secure maternity life.
Linked with basal body temperature app
Pregnancy probability increased by 30%
The surprising pattern of successful pregnancy discovered with the Omron thermometer
Optimal timing
"Measuring basal body temperature is a hassle and I can't keep it up..."
"Handwritten graphs are hard to understand"
This is good news for moms who are trying to get pregnant.
In the latest survey, women who used the basal body temperature app linking function
Pregnancy success rate is 30% higher than traditional handwritten management
The surprising result was revealed.
Why is there such a big difference?
[Signs of pregnancy that were overlooked with handwritten management]
A survey of fertility clinics revealed that
There are "subtle changes that cannot be noticed" on hand-drawn graphs.
**Patterns that can only be discovered through app integration:**
**1. Subtle differences in the length of the high temperature period**
When writing by hand, we tend to record it as "about the 14th,"
In reality, it may be 12.5 days or 15.2 days.
Subtle differences can affect your chances of getting pregnant.
**2. Timing of body temperature rise**
In determining the day of ovulation,
"A difference of 0.1 degrees" and "a difference of half a day" are important.
The app will automatically calculate the optimal timing.
**3. Individual differences in cycle patterns**
Even if you think it's a 28-day cycle,
In reality, 80% of women fluctuate between 26 and 31 days.
By understanding this "fluctuation,"
The prediction accuracy is significantly improved.
[Success patterns discovered through collaboration with Omron thermometers]
An app that can be linked with Omron basal body temperature thermometers
(Luna Luna Body Temperature Note, Pair Care, etc.)
An interesting "pattern of successful pregnancy" was discovered.
**Pattern 1: "Two-stage rising type" (success rate 42%)**
After ovulation, your body temperature rises once,
The pattern is for a further rise of 0.2 degrees.
Previously, this was often thought to be a measurement error, but
It was actually a sign that I was likely pregnant .
**Pattern 2: "Shortened low temperature period" (success rate 38%)**
A pattern in which the low temperature period is 2-3 days shorter than usual.
Evidence of optimal hormone balance
Trying to get pregnant during this cycle increases your chances of success.
**Pattern 3: "Stable high temperature" (success rate 35%)**
During the high temperature period, body temperature remains stable with fluctuations of less than 0.05 degrees.
The corpus luteum function is good and implantation is easy.
[App integration improves fertility efficiency]
**Traditional handwritten management:**
• Morning log: 5 minutes
• Graph creation: 10 minutes
• Ovulation prediction: Self-judgment is inaccurate
• Consult with your doctor: bring your chart with you
**After linking the app:**
• Morning recording: 0 minutes (automatic transfer)
• Graph creation: Automatic generation
• Ovulation prediction: High accuracy with AI analysis
• Consult with a doctor: Direct data sharing
Not only does it save time,
Accuracy and convenience are dramatically improved .
[Recommended thermometer and app combinations]
**Top 3 Best Combinations:**
**1st Place: Omron MC-652LC x Luna Luna Body Temperature Notebook**
• Measurement time: Approximately 10 seconds
• Automatic transfer: Bluetooth enabled
• Prediction accuracy: ★★★★★
• Medical institution collaboration: ◎
**2nd Place: Terumo WOMAN℃ x Pair Care**
• Measurement time: Approximately 20 seconds
• Automatic transfer: NFC compatible
• Prediction accuracy: ★★★★☆
• Partner sharing: ◎
**3rd Place: Omron MC-440 x Rakuten Kiraidonavi**
• Measurement time: Approximately 30 seconds
• Automatic forwarding: Dedicated app only
• Prediction accuracy: ★★★☆☆
• Cost performance: ◎
[Best time to start linking basal body temperature]
**Before starting to try to conceive (preparation period)**
First, spend three months understanding your basic patterns.
The data from this period will determine the success of your future attempts to conceive.
**Immediately after starting to try to conceive**
Once you understand the pattern, you can start effective pregnancy efforts right away.
It's clear when is the best time.
**When you're having trouble getting pregnant**
When you are having trouble getting pregnant,
Data analysis may lead to new discoveries.
[Success stories from experienced moms]
"I tried to write it by hand for a year, but I couldn't get it.
I switched to app integration and got pregnant within three months.
The "two-stage rise" pattern that I didn't notice
It was a sign of pregnancy.
If you try to get pregnant on the best days suggested by the app,
I was really surprised that it turned out that way."
(Ai, 29 years old, pregnant with her first child)
The basal body temperature app linkage is
It makes pregnancy efforts more scientific and efficient .

solution
A success story of how the partner sharing function changed the husband's attitude
Setting tips
"I share it on the app, but my husband never looks at it..."
"What can I do to get them interested?"
As many as 78% of mothers have this problem.
But don't worry.
From the success stories of senior mothers,
I have come to understand "concrete ways to change my husband's attitude ."
Actually, I understand the psychology of men.
With a little ingenuity, the situation can change dramatically.
Why don't men want to look at apps?
First, let's start by understanding male psychology.
Top 3 reasons why men avoid pregnancy apps:
1. "I don't know what to look at" (68%)
There's so much information it's hard to know where to focus.
As a result, it feels like a hassle.
2. "It doesn't seem to concern me" (52%)
Pregnancy is something that happens to a woman's body.
Men tend to feel distant and act as "bystanders."
3. "I feel uncomfortable seeing private content" (47%)
To see details about your weight and physical condition,
Many men feel hesitant and awkward.
[Success Story 1: Mr. and Mrs. Sato clarify the reason for watching]
Sato-san (pseudonym, 31 years old)'s husband,
At first, he didn't even look at the app.
However, the situation changed completely after a certain innovation.
"I told my husband specifically why I wanted to see it and where I wanted to see it."
**Before change:**
"I shared the app so check it out"
**After change:**
"Can I just take a look at the baby's growth record?
Just the 'baby of the day' part is fine."
As a result, my husband checks it every day.
"I realized the changes in my baby and it really hit home."
"Once you know what to look for, it sparks interest."
Apparently, my husband's attitude changed.
[Success Story 2: Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka attract attention with "tasking"]
Tanaka (pseudonym, 28 years old)
We took advantage of men's "problem-solving orientation."
"I specifically asked my husband to do this."
**Specific request example:**
• "Please set a reminder for my checkup date."
• "Can you check the baby's weight prediction?"
• "Check my shopping list for the worst days of morning sickness."
Men are "relied on" and "helpful"
If you feel this way, try to get actively involved.
"I'm happy to know that I'm helping my wife."
My husband has also changed for the better.
[Success Story 3: Mr. and Mrs. Yamada attract interest with "visualization"]
Yamada (pseudonym, 33 years old)
I placed importance on my husband's "visual understanding."
"Linking ultrasound photos with app information"
**Specific method:**
• When you take an ultrasound photo, show the app information for that day.
• "This is how the app explains the hand that was seen on the ultrasound today."
• Visualize baby size comparisons (e.g., "He's the size of a lemon now")
My husband said, "It's interesting when photos and information are connected."
"You can see your baby's development in detail"
And look forward to it every time.
[Partner sharing settings optimization techniques]
**Level 1: Setting up to generate interest**
✓ Share only baby's growth information
✓ Choose an app that focuses on cute illustrations
✓ Notifications will be sent approximately once a week
**Level 2: Setting for when interest is growing**
✓ Added the ability to share checkup results
✓ Show pregnancy week countdown
✓ Sharing advice articles for dads
**Level 3: Actively involved setting**
✓ Share part of your health record
✓ Share your birth preparation to-do list
✓ Fetal movement records can also be shared
[What you should never do]
❌ Blaming them by asking, "Why don't you look at me?"
❌ Share all your weight and period details right from the start
❌ Check every day, "Did you see it?"
❌ Comparing with other husbands ("So-and-so's husband is...")
❌ Sending large amounts of unsolicited information
[Recommended sharing settings for each app]

Advice from an experienced mom
"At first, I expected too much from my husband.
I was frustrated that they wouldn't see me.
But it takes time for men to become interested.
After understanding that,
Don't force it, just share the fun parts.
Now my husband asks me, "How's the baby today?"
