Abstract
Adopting pregnancy-specific mobile health applications has increased access to critical prenatal information and help. These apps include a variety of features for monitoring pregnancy development, tracking maternal health indicators, and accessing evidence-based diet, exercise, and delivery preparation materials. By allowing women to communicate directly with healthcare providers and delivering interactive educational information, these applications empower them to actively manage their pregnancy experience and make educated decisions about their health and well-being. Mobile health applications can help pregnant women manage their symptoms, relieve stress, and get mental healthcare. These applications promote a sense of connection and empowerment among pregnant women by offering symptom monitoring, meditation sessions, and community forums, improving their entire maternity care experience.The chapter aims to give an overview of different aspects of mobile health apps (mhealth) apps for expectant mothers.
