Daddy Up

Daddy Up App

Touted as “the dad’s field guide to pregnancy,” this app teaches fathers-to-be about their pregnant wife and developing baby. You’ll get weekly information about your “Lady Lumberjill” (the app has a fun outdoorsy spin), along with baby size charts. Other features include a customizable daddy checklist, contraction counter, and journal log.

Contraction Timer

Dads-to-be may never get the opportunity to experience a contraction, but as their partner endures them, at least they'll be able to lend a hand with this app. In stopwatch fashion, it measures the time between contractions and the length of the contraction, helping couples decide when they should hit the road to the hospital and letting them know what stage of labor they're in.
