Safe Pregnancy and Birth

I love love love this app wonderful resource but this does not replace good education for a midwife.

If you we're living in a third world country with no other advice this would be a great app. You probably wouldn't have a smart phone though. Of all the app for pregnancy in the itunes store, this one is the worst. Giving medical advice to unqualified people and limited . Go look for another one. Any of them would be better than this.

Wow these are the most terrifying pics about pregnancy and birth I have ever seen!!! Should be rated

Shouldn't you mention in stop the bleeding section that you can cut a 1 X 1 inch square of placenta and have the mom bite down on it to release oxytocin and clamp down the uterus? And can't vinegar clean utensils too? What if there is no cytotec or pit on hand?

This is a scary app that is dangerously giving medical advice when it should not be. I'm SHOCKED that this app was even published. Doesn't apple even read the content of these app submissions???? If the assumption is that you are stuck in the North Pole with a pregnant woman with absolutely no access to medical care - fine, I guess this will do. But the danger here is that people who have absolutely no medical knowledge are being "taught" how to be a doctor. Advice such as "give magnesium sulfate if you know how" is utterly ridiculous and extremely dangerous. This is just one of many idiotic suggestions this app makes. This drug can only being given in a medically supervised setting with an IV and monitors for breathing, blood pressure, heart rate not to mention a fetal monitor. You can kill someone by giving this drug! I've read those reviews that say this is perfect for healthcare workers in remote areas, blah, blah... If you are in such as remote area where there is absolutely no health care then I highly highly doubt you will even have access to magnesium sulfate so where is the LOGIC to even advising this????

Fantastic app. Easy to read and informative.

Fantastic and helpful! Hesperian should make more of these. I work in rural communities in Guatemala and feel much more prepared with this simple guide!

This app gives clear information about pregnancy and birth and provides easy-to-follow advice for a wide variety of situations. Great!

What a useful app!

Very concise and organized for ease of navigation through the app to the desired information.
