I like the week to week info, but daily is stressful for me--they give you an action item for every day, and my symptoms don't match what they describe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680602 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 09:31:09 +0000 Snowdrop 1680602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just have baby centre and health and pregnancy apps, emails would annoy me. I like the updates on how baby is growing but hate the symptom stuff, it actually quite worried me because they assumed you would be feeling tired and nauseous and that sore boobs would be your first pg symptom. I didn't get sore boobs till 5 weeks and my tiredness fluctuates, plus most people don't feel sick till 6-7 weeks so to write about it as a given in week 5 is a bit sill IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680566 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 09:24:02 +0000 Honeygold89 1680566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like mom 365 and app wise I liked baby bump, pregnancy webmd, and what to expect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680500 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 09:14:58 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1680500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lucie's List, Alpha Mom and Pregnant Chicken! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680491 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 09:14:03 +0000 HeartAbandoned 1680491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: @Cole: @MrsKoala: Ok, I already love Pregnancy Chicken and I've only read the sign-up page!

But I don't really read them. I like reading my Ovia pregnany app! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680240 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:38:50 +0000 MrsKoala 1680240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnant Chicken... and that's it!

I haven't cared for the other newsletters but I like checking in on various apps. I also really like the pregnology website, in particular the "all the days of my pregnancy" page that shows you how far along you are on the calendar. </p> <p>Alpha Mom:<br /> <a href="http://alphamom.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-calendar/week-four/" rel="nofollow">http://alphamom.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-calendar/week-four/</a></p> <p>Pregnology:<br /> <a href="http://www.pregnology.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pregnology.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680172 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:31:10 +0000 ElbieKay 1680172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! And the Pregnant Chicken updates are hilarious and worth it: <a href="http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnancy-calendar/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnancy-calendar/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680162 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:29:52 +0000 ElbieKay 1680162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I downloaded the What to Expect and Sprout apps. If I had to do it again, I would probably stick with Sprout and pay for the upgraded version. WTE was ok but some of the information was sort of annoying (e.g., preachy diet information and the assumption that the same pregnancy symptoms apply to every woman). The information about the baby progress on WTE was fine though, and that's what I was more interested in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680132 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:25:09 +0000 HeartAbandoned 1680132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: What app did you use? </p> <p>@BakerBee: Thanks for the link!</p> <p>@rawrasaur: Checking I'm Expecting out right now! </p> <p>Thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680084 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:10:05 +0000 rawrasaur 1680084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the I'm Expecting app, not a fan of getting e-mails. Mostly just because it told me what size the baby was and has a widget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680070 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:06:11 +0000 LBee 1680070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a few apps and just read along until I found one I liked. To be honest, I ended up not liking any of them and will just sporadically googling what might be happening during a various week. I suppose I just like to be surprised, haha. </p> <p>I did really like this calendar:<br /> <a href="http://www.justmommies.com/pregnancy_calendar.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.justmommies.com/pregnancy_calendar.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680050 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:01:16 +0000 ElbieKay 1680050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instead of signing up for more email, I got an app and checked it on my phone whenever I wanted to read about the baby's progress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-newsletters-should-i-sign-up-for#post-1680043 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 07:59:25 +0000 HeartAbandoned 1680043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What newsletter(s) did you sign up for when you were pregnant? Which ones are worth it, and which are just irritating? I'm thinking I'll only want to sign up for one, but I know there are lots of options! And, if there are two that are very different and both helpful, I'll sign up for more than one. Thanks for your help! :heart: </p>
