Pregnancies can bring joy and anticipation – and a whole lot of
questions. For expecting parents, however, there’s a new resource that is as
close as their phones: CoxHealth’s BabyBeginnings smartphone app, a one-stop
source for medically-founded information from conception to birth and beyond.
“Whether or not it’s their first time around, moms often have
questions about the changes they’re experiencing,” says Dr. Staci Niemoth,
medical director of Women’s Services at CoxHealth. “This app gives them vetted
information that’s accessible at the touch of a button.”
The free app, which is available to all expecting parents,
was made possible by a grant from Verizon. It includes information on pregnancy, labor and newborn care, as well as helpful animations and videos, an appointment tracker, a contraction timer and
more.
All of the app’s offerings are prepared by medical professionals,
and reflect the industry’s most recent standards and recommendations. The app
also includes contact information for resources at CoxHealth’s hospitals in
Springfield, Branson and Monett.
