Expecting

Expecting.app – your no-nonsense, friendly guide through pregnancy and beyond
Getting information that you can trust about pregnancy and parenting is hard – it’s like everyone is trying to sell you a product or service. Expecting.app is different – written by independent parents and experts, it brings together everything you need to know about pregnancy, birth and beyond in an easy to understand, friendly format that encourages you to choose what’s best for you and your family.
We’ve been there, and we’re here for you.

Written by independent experts

The information in the app is based on the highest level of evidence and best practice and tips and tricks provided by parents who have been there, with no commercial interests involved.

Who is behind Expecting.app?
Expecting.app was developed by five leading European parents’ organisations and financed through an Erasmus+ project financed by the European Commission, and all the content available is free. The app is fully independent and non-commercial – your data is safe and your app experience will never be interrupted with ads.

Midwives and doctors are health professionals who have the knowledge and experience to assist pregnant families and you should consult them with any concerns and questions you may have. Expecting.app is not intended for medical use or to replace the advice of a licensed midwife or physician. Information is provided on a general information basis and is not a substitute for personalized advice from a health professional.
