4 ultimate gadgets for a connected pregnancy
You never know what to expect when you’re expecting, not to mention all the unexpected following the baby’s arrival. Ask any parent: things can get stressful when you simply don’t know and God forbid you ask Doctor Google for their professional opinion.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Try these new gadgets to stress less about your pregnancy and sleep more.
Belli by Bloom
Meet Belli: your personal pregnancy coach, made by San Francisco’s Bloom.
Bloom created this wearable device for women in their third trimester. It tracks the frequency and duration of their contractions in real-time — like a heart monitor would track your heartbeat — giving expecting mothers a peace of mind as well as a safety tool that can detect anything unexpected early on.
Belli is a safe solution for both moms and their babies. It’s all about “passive listening,” meaning no energy is transmitted into the body, unlike during an ultrasound or Doppler. The sensor communicates with your smartphone via Bluetooth, which is well within the safety recommendations both in the US and in Europe.

Expecting moms can order Belli via Belli’s official website. It’s a subscription based program, starting at $ 29/week. Once the baby is delivered, the sensors can be returned straight back to Bloom vie a pre-paid envelope.
*Belli’s updated version coming up over the next couple of weeks will also allow moms-to-be to measure their stress and activity levels, as well as sleep and kick counts. It will also be able to answer many pregnancy related questions and teach parents-to-be about health habits.

The smart sock acts as a nanny, staying up all night with your little one.

Handling the bottle correctly prevents the baby from drinking air bubbles along with the milk, preventing gas and colic. It also helps with baby’s reflux and alerts you if there are lumps clogging the bottle, saving lots of baby tears and parents’ frustrations. It prices for about $ 100 at slowcontrol.com
