How big is the baby?

Maker

👋🏼 Hello! My name is Amit, a soon-to-be Dad 🤞🏽🙂 We are expecting our first baby soon (Feb 2022), and like most first-time parents, we signed up for a bunch of pregnancy tracking apps that tell you how big your baby is each week - "Your baby is as big as a bunch of kale". That's a pretty boring and uninspiring visualization, I think. Yet, that's what most of these apps do. But, I wanted something different and better, like... #1 Daily Updates 👎🏽All the pregnancy apps I found provided only weekly updates. ✅ I was so excited about the baby that I wanted daily updates (the baby doesn't grow that much on a daily basis, but I could still make it interesting and fun by referencing different objects of similar sizes). #2 Fun, lively, and interesting updates 👎🏽The pictures these pregnancy apps referenced were drawings, or illustrations (mostly comparing babies to fruits and vegetables). ✅I wanted the updates to be a bit more fun and diverse with real life pictures of everyday objects that I could relate to. #3 Get updates as Text Messages 👎🏽 Most importantly, they were all apps I had to download. More notifications. More spam. More clutter. ✅ Instead of downloading another app, I wanted my wife and I to get a simple text message every morning telling us how big the baby was. 💬I couldn't find a service that would do this. So, I built it. My wife and I have been using How big is the baby SMS bot last couple months, and we love it. It's cute and fun. It's become a part of our morning routine - waking up, and then one of us asking - how big is the baby today? We just glance at the message, and smile (sometimes we even share the updates with our families and friends). It's a great way to start our day! 🚀Super excited to make this available to other expecting parents Over the last couple months, I have been gradually adding friends and family as users. I am excited to open "How big is the baby" service to more expecting parents (and their friends/families) to use. Try it Free for 10 days. No cc required. Upgrade for just $29/one-time fee for the entire pregnancy (weeks 13-40). No recurring subscription. If you're expecting a baby soon, or know a friend who is, I would love your support in spreading the word, and would appreciate any feedback/suggestions you may have.

@amit Thank you so much for your offer, you are very kind. If they like it, I have no doubt they will buy it. I know they are all sick of growing mangos and bunches of kale 😉

We have been using since a month and have to say its just great. Every morning it makes us smile and being the first time parents, we can't think of any thing better to start our day. P.S. the greeting via https://www.greetingsapi.com/ is icing on the cake.

@rajivraj Thank you, Rajiv. That was the idea we had. Make every morning throughout the pregnancy a bit more fun. We break into a smile almost everyday just glancing at the text message :-)
