Technology giving you Power in Birth, Pregnancy and Beyond

Technology giving you Power in Birth, Pregnancy and Beyond is a paid collaberation with Bounty. When I was pregnant 14 years ago smartphones were not really a thing – I had a blackberry for work but hadn’t heard of an app. Now there is no chance of any more babies here, but I wanted to share with you some fabulous details of how the Bounty App can really give you power in birth, pregnancy and beyond. I really wish this had been around when I was expecting.

When I was pregnant I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum and it was extremely isolating. It prevented me going lots of places and also made me feel really self conscious. Plus I really struggled at antenatal groups as I was always being sick.

Bounty App

If you are pregnant or have had a baby then you probably will know about Bounty. I remember receiving Bounty Packs via my midwife and they were full of information, vouchers and money off coupons. I was too unwell to see the Bounty lady at the hospital but she did leave me a pack to take home.

In 2017 Bounty launched a free app which contains useful hospital-specific information, valuable practical information and expert advice relevant to pregnancy and parenting, which is really helpful and supportive for parents.

Bounty App and Pregnancy

As you would expect there is a wealth of information about your pregnancy and hat stage you are at including size, expectations for that week and current development which is brilliant for keeping you informed about where you are at which is great for helping you visualise and makes the pregnancy seem more real.

Fresh content is added to the app daily, so there’s always something new to discover.

Bounty App Post Pregnancy

The content within the Bounty app covers everything from product reviews to health tips, guidance on returning to work, and even lullabies to help baby sleep.

Whilst we are talking about sleep there’s even a feature where you can track your baby’s sleep and see if there are patterns week by week.

Hospital Specific Information

I found the My Hospital part really helpful. You simply choose the hospital you will be giving birth at and the app allows you to record your midwife’s details and then access all the leaflets and information about pregnancy, birth and children that your hospital normally provides.

I just input my local hospital and it had all the leaflets I could get from the hospital covering everything from immunisations, safer sleep guidelines from the Lullaby Trust, NICI screening, sepsis guidance and loads more. No need to have all the paper leaflets cluttering up your maternity file and there at your finguretips when you need them before and after birth.

Having a baby and raising children is expensive, so any money saving offers and vouchers are welcome by me.

You can redeem vouchers and offers from your Bounty pack through the app. This makes saving money really easy and convenient. For even better value, you can pick up a Bounty pack at Tesco and Asda, which is packed with full-size retail samples from well-known brands. 

Download the Bounty App

I really wish that this had been about when I was expecting and think it is a fabulous resource for both expectant and new mothers. Almost 70% of UK maternity/prenatal clinics/hospitals recommend to expectant mums to download the App.

It is available for both Apple and Android, the Bounty App has quickly become the UK’s leading pregnancy app, espeically as it is contantly updated with new contant.

You can download the Bounty App free from the App Store or Google Play.
