Babycenter.com
This site gives week by week tidbits on your unborn baby. It describes the size and gives what new thing your baby is doing in your womb. BabyCenter also gives week by week/month by month information on caring for your baby after delivery. It covers topics like allergies, your toddler, grown up kids, you as the parent and lots more. BabyCenter also owns Pregnancy.com
-
Babycentre.co.uk
This is the British/European version of babycenter.com-- while they cover the same topics, they do not have exactly the same information. We have to remember that the site covers a different demographic region; therefore, the community forums and even the contributors would have slightly different but equally useful information.
-
Whattoexpect.com
While all the sites on our lists have apps. Whattoexpect.com is the only one to my knowledge (please correct me if I’m wrong) that has a book –What to Expect When you are Expecting by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel. They also put together a movie also goes by the same name as the book featuring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, among others. It gives expecting couples/parents an insight on what to expect like its name says, anything could happen.
-
Parents.com
At Parents.com, everyone is included. The site covers everything from pregnancy, to baby, to raising your children, and the list goes on. They seem to be a family guide. They also own the American Baby magazine.
-
Thebump.com
The bump focuses primarily on people trying to conceive, pregnant women and first-time parents (I think every parent should find it useful though). It gives fertility advice to those trying to conceive and other useful information.
-
WebMD Baby
As the name implies, this is a medical site with a section dedicated to the wellness of mother and baby. WebMD Baby gives medical advice, baby care tips, and so on regarding the safety of your lil’ one.
