About BabyKickTrack

Our Mission: Pregnancy Tracking You Can Trust

BabyKickTrack was created with a simple but powerful mission: to provide expectant mothers with free, trustworthy, and easy-to-use pregnancy tracking tools that respect your privacy, honor the seriousness of maternal health, and empower you to stay connected with your baby throughout pregnancy.

In a world where pregnancy apps often prioritize data collection over user experience, where medical information is sometimes oversimplified or sensationalized, and where expectant mothers are treated as marketing targets rather than individuals on a profound journey, we wanted to create something different—something better.

BabyKickTrack is that difference.

Why BabyKickTrack Exists

Pregnancy is one of life's most transformative experiences. It's a time of joy, anticipation, wonder—and sometimes, understandable anxiety. Modern medicine offers expectant mothers unprecedented tools for monitoring pregnancy health, yet many women feel overwhelmed by contradictory information, privacy concerns, and the challenge of knowing when a symptom warrants medical attention versus when it's a normal part of pregnancy.

We created BabyKickTrack to address these challenges by providing:

• Evidence-based information: All content aligns with guidelines from leading medical authorities including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the March of Dimes, and other trusted organizations.
• Absolute privacy: We don't collect, store, or sell your health data. All tools run locally in your browser—your pregnancy data stays private.
• Clear, honest guidance: We're transparent about what our tools can and cannot do. We never overstate their capabilities or suggest they replace medical care.
• Accessible resources: All tools are completely free, with no subscriptions, no premium tiers, no paywalls—just helpful resources when you need them.
• Respectful tone: We treat pregnancy as the serious, life-changing experience it is, not as an opportunity for cutesy language or commercial exploitation.

Our Core Values

1. Medical Accuracy Above All

Pregnancy and childbirth are "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) topics where accuracy isn't optional—it's essential. Every piece of content on BabyKickTrack is carefully researched and aligned with current medical guidelines. We cite authoritative sources, link to trusted medical organizations, and clearly distinguish between general information and situations requiring immediate medical care.

2. Privacy as a Fundamental Right

Your pregnancy is personal. We believe you shouldn't have to trade your privacy for access to helpful tools. That's why BabyKickTrack operates on a privacy-first principle: all calculations happen in your browser, no health data is transmitted to our servers, and we collect only minimal, anonymous analytics to improve the website. Your kick counts, contraction patterns, and pregnancy information belong to you—and only you.

3. Honesty and Transparency

We're honest about what we are and what we're not. We ARE a helpful educational resource with practical tools. We are NOT a medical service, a replacement for prenatal care, or a diagnostic tool. We clearly communicate these limitations on every page because your trust and safety matter more than our traffic or engagement metrics.

4. Empowerment Through Information

Knowledge reduces anxiety. Understanding what's normal, what to watch for, and when to seek help empowers you to be an active, informed participant in your pregnancy care. Our goal is to help you feel more confident and connected—never to create fear or replace your healthcare provider's expertise.

5. Accessibility for All

Pregnancy care should be accessible regardless of economic circumstances. All BabyKickTrack tools are free and always will be. No trials, no subscriptions, no hidden costs. We support the free availability of our tools through ethical advertising, never by selling user data or restricting access to essential features.

What Makes BabyKickTrack Different

No Data Collection

Unlike many pregnancy apps that collect extensive personal and health data, BabyKickTrack's tools operate entirely in your browser. We can't see your kick counts, contraction patterns, or any health information you enter. This isn't just a privacy policy promise—it's how our tools are fundamentally built.

Medical Authority Alignment

Every recommendation, guideline, and piece of advice on BabyKickTrack is backed by reputable medical sources. We don't rely on crowd-sourced information or anonymous "what worked for me" anecdotes. We cite ACOG, the March of Dimes, the CDC, NHS, and peer-reviewed medical research.

Clear Medical Disclaimers

Every single page includes prominent medical disclaimers because we never want anyone to confuse our educational tools with medical monitoring or professional care. We consistently direct users to seek medical attention for concerning symptoms and emphasize that our tools complement—never replace—prenatal care.

No Commercial Exploitation

We don't sell pregnancy products. We don't push affiliate links. We don't monetize your journey by convincing you that you need products you don't. Our revenue model is simple: ethical advertising that allows us to provide free tools while respecting user privacy.

Our Tools: Simple, Effective, Evidence-Based

Kick Counter

Track fetal movement using the medically-recognized "Count to 10" method recommended by healthcare providers starting around 28 weeks. Learn your baby's unique patterns and know when to seek care if movement decreases.

Contraction Timer

Accurately time contraction frequency and duration to help identify true labor patterns. Understand the difference between Braxton Hicks and active labor, and know when the 5-1-1 rule indicates it's time to head to the hospital.

Due Date Calculator

Calculate your estimated delivery date using Naegele's rule based on your last menstrual period. Understand pregnancy dating, why ultrasound dating is the gold standard, and what your due date really means (spoiler: it's an estimate!).

Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator

Understand healthy weight gain ranges based on Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines tailored to your pre-pregnancy BMI. Get trimester-specific recommendations while understanding that every pregnancy is unique.

Hospital Bag Checklist

A comprehensive, thoughtfully-organized packing list covering labor essentials, postpartum recovery items, baby necessities, and supplies for your birth partner. Be prepared without overpacking.

BabyKickTrack exists to support that relationship by helping you:

• Stay informed about pregnancy milestones and what to expect
• Track important health indicators like fetal movement and contractions
• Understand when symptoms are normal versus when to seek care
• Prepare for labor, delivery, and bringing baby home
