How to track your pregnancy with Apple Watch

When you log a pregnancy in the Health app on iPhone or iPad, you can view your gestational age on Apple Watch and log bleeding and symptoms.

The Health app on iPhone and the Cycle Tracking app on Apple Watch can help you better understand your data during pregnancy by making adjustments and recommendations to reflect changes in your physical and mental health. On iPhone or iPad, you can log the first day of your last period or an estimated due date.

Log a pregnancy on iPhone or iPad

1. Go to the Health app on iPhone or iPad.
2. Do one of the following:
   • On iPhone: Tap Browse, then tap Cycle Tracking.
   • On iPad: Tap the sidebar, then tap Cycle Tracking.
3. Scroll down and tap Factors. Then tap the Add button.
4. Tap Pregnancy, then tap Begin.
5. Do one of the following:

While logging a pregnancy, you get a variety of recommendations of notifications that should be turned on or off during and after pregnancy:

• Walking Steadiness: Recommended to be turned on. Walking Steadiness can alert you more quickly during your third trimester, when the risk of falling can increase.
• High Heart Rate (Apple Watch only): If your high heart rate notification threshold is set below 120 beats per minute (bpm), you’re asked to review and adjust it.
• Cardio Fitness (Apple Watch only): Cardio Fitness notifications are recommended to be turned off during and until 12 weeks after the end of your pregnancy.
