If you are pregnant, Watchos 11, iOS 18 and iPados offer 18 extra support, taking into account changes in your physical and mental health. You can add a pregnancy in the Health app for iPhone or iPad.
Then the Health app and the App Cycle Sheat on your Apple Watch shows your gestation time and you can record common pregnancy symptoms. You can also see the course of your pregnancy and how many weeks you still have to go.
Add pregnancy to health
- Open the Health app on your iPhone
- Navigate to ‘data’
- Tap the search field
- Search for ‘pregnancy’ and choose ‘Get started’
- Enter the requested information
In addition to your current pregnancy, you can also add an earlier pregnancy to health.
If desired, you can indicate that you regularly want to fill in questionnaires about your mental health and whether you report in the Medical ID that you are pregnant.
Good to know: predictions for your period, fertile period and the detection of cycle abnormalities are paused and resumed after your pregnancy.
Extra support during your pregnancy
After you have stated in the Health app on your iPhone or iPad that you are pregnant, the app Cycle shows on your Apple Watch your gestation time and you can record common pregnancy symptoms. You can also add and consult this data in the Health app. You are also asked to check things like the threshold value for heart rate reports, since you usually have a higher heart rate during pregnancy.
Mental health questionnaires
The risk of an anxiety disorder and depression is usually higher during and after pregnancy. These disorders are common and are treatable. Health reminds you of filling in a questionnaire to estimate your risk so that you can seek help on time.
Add pregnancy to Medical ID
It may be important that care providers know what your pregnancy status is in the event of an emergency. If you add a pregnancy to your medical ID, your pregnancy status becomes available from the access screen.
View pregnancy data
Open the health app, navigate to ‘data’ and look for ‘pregnancy’. You can then consult all kinds of information about pregnant, but also your personal course. This way you can see how many weeks you have been pregnant and when you are calculated.
Cycle app
With the help of the cycle app for Apple Watch, and as part of health for iPhone and iPad, it is possible to keep track of your menstrual cycle. This way you can record the days of menstruation and write down any symptoms, but iOS and Watchos go one step further. They can predict your next period and fertile period.
Do you have an Apple Watch Ultra, Series 8 or newer? Then you get better estimates and improved menstrual examinations thanks to the measurements of your polmatist. Predictions for your menstrual period, fertile period and the detection of cycle abnormalities are paused and resumed after your pregnancy.
