Client's challenge

The client’s vision was to solve a common problem:

The disconnect between loved ones during pregnancy.

Traditional platforms lacked the specific features needed for this journey, and the manual process of tracking important dates and milestones was tedious. The key challenge was to build a centralized, private, and personalized platform that would foster a supportive community with features such as

  • Real-time pregnancy timelines
  • Curated product and gift lists
  • Personalized reminders.

Our solution

We developed a social pregnancy app that provides

  • Real-time timelines
  • Trimester calculators
  • Due date updates

Our solution included an online calendar with personalized reminders for milestones and a “Week at a Glance” feature for effortless tracking. We integrated custom notifications to support new and postpartum moms, creating a centralized solution to a common challenge. Our work included post-launch support to help build and strengthen the new parents’ community.
