Glow Nurture

Glow runs a suite of reproductive health apps: Glow (fertility), Nurture (pregnancy), Baby (postpartum), and Community. One subscription works across all of them. That's the pitch - track from TTC through pregnancy through baby's first year without switching apps or losing data.

Nurture specifically covers pregnancy. Free features: due date calculator (uses Parikh's Formula, slightly more accurate than the standard Naegele's rule), week-by-week fetal development, symptom and weight logging, contraction timer, kick counter, appointment tracker. Up to 6 premium articles per week free.

Premium ($59.99/yr after 7-day trial, or $79.99 lifetime) adds: comparative insights ("is this normal?" with data from millions of users), full premium article access, custom profile, and priority support. The comparative data is actually useful - seeing that 62% of women at 28 weeks also have back pain is oddly comforting.

Compared to Flo ($49.99/yr), Glow Nurture is more pregnancy-focused while Flo covers the full cycle-to-menopause spectrum. Compared to Ovia (free via employer), Nurture has a similar feature set but you pay for it yourself. Compared to The Bump or What to Expect, Glow is more data-driven and less editorial/content-heavy.

The community feature is active but can be overwhelming - lots of posts, not always well-moderated. Take the crowdsourced advice with a grain of salt.

If you're already in the Glow ecosystem from TTC, continuing to Nurture is a no-brainer. If you're starting fresh during pregnancy, Flo or Ovia might offer more for less.
