Technology has made many different areas of life so much easier, so it makes sense that the same can be said of technology used during pregnancy. Pregnancy is not an easy time, so if there is tech that can make it go more smoothly or that can help an expectant mother feel calmer, for example, it’s great that it can be made available and be used. With that in mind, here are some of the wonderful pieces of technology that pregnant women might want to make use of when they are pregnant; it could make all the difference during those 40 weeks of uncertainty and tiredness. 

Prenatal Apps 

As you might expect, there are a number of different apps that can be used during pregnancy to help mothers to get all the information they need to stay happy and healthy and to ensure their babies are happy and healthy too. 

Some of the things these apps can do include:

• Tracking fetal development 
• Offering health tips and reminders
• Giving nutritional advice
• Offering relaxation techniques (including guided meditation)

Using these apps can help pregnant women feel much more in control over their pregnancy and alert them to any issues that might require a doctor’s assistance. 

Wearable Devices 

You might already make use of wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers, so using them during pregnancy won’t be a difficult thing to do. They can be extremely helpful as they can give you an insight into your health, including your heart rate and how well you sleep. They can also be a useful tool to ensure you are doing enough exercise because even if you don’t feel like it, exercise during pregnancy is crucial for both your health and the health of your baby. 

Ultrasound Technology 

Ultrasounds aren’t new, and pregnancies have been checked using this technology for decades. However, just because it has been around for a while doesn’t mean it’s not useful – in fact, ultrasounds are one of the best pieces of technology used to check on the development of the baby, as it literally gives a picture of what is happening. 

Of course, there have been advancements over the years. There is now the chance to get a 3D/4D ultrasound scan rather than the standard 2D version. This gives you a lot more detail, and you can even see your baby’s facial features more clearly, so it’s a popular choice. 

Telemedicine 

Ever since lockdown and the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has grown more and more important and is often used to help people who need to see a doctor get the advice and healthcare they require. 

Telemedicine is a great piece of technology for pregnant women as it offers virtual appointments with doctors. Since it can be hard to travel when you’re pregnant, particularly in the third trimester, being able to speak to a doctor remotely can save a lot of trouble and effort, helping you conserve energy when you need to. 

Fertility Monitors 

Technology can even help before you get pregnant. You could use a fertility monitor to help you when you’re trying to conceive, which will provide you with information about when the best time is to get pregnant. It can also help you avoid pregnancy if that’s what you want, keeping everyone happy and healthy in the way they choose.
