The Bump

The Bump does pregnancy tracking, baby naming, and registry building in one free app. That combination is unique - most pregnancy apps stop at tracking.

3D baby models show weekly development. Daily content covers what's happening with your body and baby. Size comparisons ("your baby is the size of a cauliflower") give you something to tell your partner. Standard pregnancy app features done well.

The baby name finder is genuinely useful. Search by origin, meaning, popularity trends over decades, and what names are rising or falling. Way better than Googling "baby names 2026."

Registry integration: connect your registries from Amazon, Target, Buy Buy Baby, and others. Friends and family can see your registry through The Bump. This bridges the gap between "tracking my pregnancy" and "getting ready for the baby" that other apps don't cross.

Active community forums organized by birth month. Your "July 2026 Babies" cohort goes through everything together - from first kicks to labor stories to postpartum support.

Completely free. No premium tier. No paywalls. Funded by advertising and registry partnerships.

Compared to Pregnancy+ (Philips Avent, 80M+ downloads), both have 3D models. Pregnancy+ has more detailed medical visualizations. The Bump has better content and the registry feature.

Compared to What to Expect (the book's app), The Bump is a younger brand with more modern UX. What to Expect has decades of editorial trust. Both are free. Try both and keep whichever you prefer.
