"Today's expectant moms are on the go more than ever," says Carley Roney, editor in chief of TheBump.com. "We're thrilled to offer moms-to-be the most comprehensive guide to pregnancy wherever they are, at the touch of their fingertips. With daily and customizable to-dos, developmental updates on baby and access to community message boards to chat with other moms, this app is the ultimate resource to survive one of the most exciting (and overwhelming!) times in a woman's life."

Features of the My Pregnancy Calendar App by The Bump for the iPhone include:


    --  Daily Updates on Baby's Development and Mom's Symptoms. When your baby
        reaches eight weeks, you'll be notified that she's the size of a
        raspberry, she's moving her arms and legs like crazy and her taste buds
        are forming. If grandma's dying to know how big baby is each week, you
        can easily email the update to her or share it on Facebook and Twitter.
        You'll also get daily updates on your own body changes and information
        on how to deal with hormones, aches, pains, nausea and more.
    --  Customizable Appointments and To-Dos. If you've just scheduled your
        first ultrasound, you can add the appointment to your app, which will
        automatically drop it into your pregnancy calendar and send a reminder
        to your email before the big day. You can also add to-do items, such as
        "pack the hospital bag" and "paint the nursery," so pregnancy brain will
        never knock you off track!
    --  Seamless Syncing. The best part about adding your own to-dos and
        appointments to the calendar and checking them off? It seamlessly syncs
        with your Pregnancy Calendar on TheBump.com so you're always on track,
        whether checking to-dos from your work computer or from your phone while
        on the go.
    --  Important Checkup and Test Information. Undecided if you should get a
        CVS test? The calendar will automatically include suggested tests and
        checkups with information on what will go on during the appointment and
        how to decide if it's right for you.
    --  Community On the Go. The heart of TheBump.com has always been its
        community, with more than 500,000 posts per month on more than 100
        message boards ranging from Baby Showers to Breastfeeding. All the
        message boards where moms love to give advice and ask questions are
        available through the app so women can connect with each other whenever
        and wherever they are.
    --  Pregnancy Safety Advice. Not sure if you can eat sushi while pregnant?
        Need to color your hair but you're scared it will harm the baby? This
        app is loaded with safety information and advice on what's totally safe
        and what you should absolutely avoid during those nine months. You can
        also share this information on Google+, Twitter, Facebook and email.
    --  Weekly Bump Photo Gallery. Keep track of your growing bump each week in
        the pregnancy bump photo gallery. Simply snap a picture and upload it to
        the appropriate week to create a growing nine-month gallery; then easily
        share the pic with your family and friends on Facebook, Twitter and
        email.
    --  Daily Journal Notes. Many moms want to remember exactly how they felt
        when they found out the sex of their baby or what they experienced
        during the final month of pregnancy. With the daily notes function,
        comments can be written and added to the calendar, creating a pregnancy
        journal that you can look back on anytime you want to relive the journey
        all over again!
