“My companion during 9 months”

Probably the best app out there when you are about to have a child. I received their book and always checking the forums

“Racism is overlooked”

Racism is an issue. I have emailed and been ignored about why there are certain groups that are for certain races only and yet not others but I have been ignored. And one of the groups in particular they are constantly talking about "yt" it's offensive. Also there was a post about looking for black pediatricians and so out of curiosity I had one for white pediatricians and I was kicked off from being able to comment on my post was removed yet the other post remains.

This was my absolute favorite app when I was pregnant! The fact that it has a built-in community really helps you out. And we became such a tight-knit group. So wonderful to see all the babies and to be able to ask questions or just spill your guts to someone who's going through the exact same thing. Thank you so much!

I used WhatToExpect for my baby registry. It was great. As a first time mom I had no idea what I needed or where to start. The site walked me through everything and even suggested things I'd need based on my "personal style quiz" answers. Helped me pick a crib, stroller, baby carrier, carseat...it was awesome. They have lists of first-time mom must haves that really helped to get me started and into baby shopping mode.

I love the community groups on WhatToExpect.com. I belong to a group for women with children born in March 2016. It's so nice to be able to go in and see how other women with kids your age are doing. To see that they are struggling with the same issues I am has been such a great support system for me. I feel like I'm not alone, like I'm not doing everything wrong. The sense of community there is a wonderful thing.

I swear, this site should get credit for co-parenting my 2 year old! I go to this site for advice on EVERYTHING. It walked me through my pregnancy, delivery, first month with a newborn, sleep training, introducing solids... now we are on to potty training! I don't know what I'd do without WhatToExpect.com!

When I was pregnant with my first child I read anything and everything I could find about pregnancy and what to expect in the upcoming months. I was very nervous. I was watching this movie "What to expect when you're expecting" and when I found out it was actually based on a book I wanted to get that book, so when I googled it, instead I found this site and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It's so informative, I found everything I could ever need here. I live in Singapore so basically I used this site for the information and the community it offers. I found out a lot through the community and it saved me from unnecessarily worrying about my baby.

Thank GOD for WhatToExpect the website. I was gifted the book when I became pregnant, but I really didn't want to sit there and read that huge, long book. That just sounded miserable. With the website I was able to look up things that interested me, articles that related to my own personal worries and struggles. It's been awesome.

This website is full of supportive women who truly care about giving helpful advice. I've never experienced the cattiness that is found on other websites (BBC). I'm so happy I found this website, and I bought the books because of it. Both the website and books are so helpful!

This website is so loaded with advertisements, you literally can not get through even 30 seconds of the videos about your developing baby without the video getting bumped out by some lame ad, then you have to begin the video again, from the beginning. Then repeat, over and over the process. I understand they have to make their money too, but won't be visiting this website again.

Some of the best information available for any woman who is pregnant. It gives month by month expectations. You will still want to read the book though.

I found the book what to expect when expecting as the most valuable resource being pregnant. I didn't realize they had a website and an entire community around this as well. I found the information on this site both useful and accurate when I compared it to other physician sites. They have everything from baby registry to toddler problems.

I read the book what to expect when your are expecting and found the information obviously very useful. Then I found this site and realized I didn't even need the book. The website is even better than the book and I think it is even more up to date. The book is great for reading when you are on the go, but I prefer their website.

No moderation on their forums. They allow misinformation, racism, and all sorts of harmful
Information to be posted. Just be extremely weary when going to this site.

This app has the worst community I've ever encountered. Their Hot Topics message board is full of mean spirited hateful women who act like this is their second chance at middle school. If you are a mother and miss your bullying days from middle school, this is the place for you. Their admins and moderators do nothing to stop the bullying. In fact, they are complacent by allowing it to go on after so many people have complained. Such a bad look for the brand.

I have brain damage they have bullied me for mispelling words and not being good at grammer. And all they seem to do is bash your choosen name like they have no life or something and just want to put others down constantly unless its a name on their favourite list. Then its ok and they want to be best friends. They also dont seem to understand the meaning of the word unisex and cant seem to grasp basic standard english as you asked a specific question and they give answers to a question that wasnt even asked and when you call them out on it. They go in a huff and say they can comment what they want. There doesnt seem to be a way of blocking people either and no admins on this site. So thats why they all get away with cyber bulling

WhatToExpect has been my go to for all things pregnancy!!! It is the BEST resource out there for everything pregnancy related. The week by week pregnancy guide has been amazing to follow. I signed up for their emails and I've been loving the articles I get. They are relevant to what I'm going through right now in my pregnancy. I just downloaded the app too!
