Abstract

Many expectant mothers desire to share information about their pregnancy with family and friends in their intimate social group. This includes details about baby growth and activity (e.g., kicks). Based on interviews with new and expectant mothers, we have designed an initial prototype called MammiBelli that allows pregnant women to share baby activity information with family and friends over distance.
