Technology And The Modern Pregnant Mama

Pregnancy is an experience like no other for women in general. It’s definitely one to be documented and yes, shared as a journey. Today, technology has made it so easy for pregnant women to connect to their loved ones near and far alike, and then some!

Here are some facts on how technology has made it a breeze for pregnant moms to share, record, reach out and even get advice from across the globe.

1. You get to share your pregnancy joy with others by posting photos, bumpies (selfies of your bump!), collages, videos, boomerangs shots, stories, snaps, and anything that your heart desires on your social media page.
2. If you want to, you can join online forums as they are an excellent way to talk to other expectant parents going through the same experiences as you.
3. There are many choices of apps for pregnant women available online – check them out and see how they can enrich your experience during your special nine months.
4. Through your handphone, you have access to a world of knowledge and new things to learn everyday. Got a question? Type it out online and watch what happens!
5. Don’t feel like going out shopping? Just shop online while you rest and relax at home.
6. Hungry and too tired to cook? Chances are you might not feel like eating out either, right? Just browse through the hundreds of selections of restaurants registered in various food delivery apps and order what you want!
7. If hubby is working abroad and you miss each other, a video call will chase those blues away! The same goes if you have relatives living abroad and you don’t get to see each other – pick up the phone and, well, see each other!
8. Monitoring your fitness has never been so easy too, for there are apps that even connect to your own personal weighing scales, not just to monitor your weight, but also your heartbeat rate, your BMI, your body fat, calories you’ve burned for the day, etc.
9. Still, an old school girl at heart and prefer to see printed photos instead of shots on the screen? Get a portable printer and take it with you wherever you go – and print photos to your heart’s satisfaction!
10. Whenever you’re in the mood for a movie that’s out of season, just download it and watch. You can do this at home, or wherever you are, really!
