\"\"In just a few days, a UK couple will welcome their “iPhone baby<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

After three years of unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy, the couple downloaded an unnamed fertility calculator app. The mother-to-be, who wishes to remain anonymous, entered her temperature and other information daily. The app then did the necessary calculations to determine when she’d be most fertile. Just two months later, the couple had a little one on the way.<\/p>\n

Since the Telegraph story doesn’t name the app the couple used, we’ve gathered a few with similar functionality:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fertility and Pregnancy Calculator<\/strong> [iTunes link<\/a>] Much like the app in the story, this one will help a woman determine when she’s most fertile. After that, she can use it to track Jr.’s development. Free.<\/li>\n
  2. iFertility<\/strong> [iTunes link<\/a>] iFertility helps women track their Basal Body Temperature<\/a> and adds an option to share logs with her doctor either via the app or email. $1.99<\/li>\n
  3. Fertility Foods<\/strong> [iTunes link<\/a>] This ebook for the iPhone and iPod touch by Dr. Jeremy Groll<\/a> presents a diet-based method of increasing ovulation and getting pregnant. Dr. Groll is an OB\/GYN specializing in the treatment of infertile couples. This book is an Iceburg Reader<\/a> book, which are very well done. $15.99<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A Barry White album<\/a> wouldn’t hurt, either.<\/p>\n

    As a parent of toddlers, I get much use out of Pocket God [iTunes link<\/a>], which my 6-year-old loves, PicPosterous [iTunes link<\/a>] for uploading snapshots to a family gallery and Pickin’ Time [iTunes link<\/a>], which both the 6-year-old and 5-year-old love. We even used Ambiance [iTunes link<\/a>] for my son when we left his white noise machine at home while on vacation.<\/p>\n

    Last week an iPhone app helped save a life<\/a>, and this week it helped create one. The tablet better have some REAL magic up its sleeve in order to top that.<\/p>\n
