Pregnancy Pal

Tracker Page

Pregnancy Pal is a website that helps pregnant people track and manage their daily nutritional needs while also giving them resources to find more information so they can do what’s best for their pregnancy. Our team was inspired to do a lot of research into the issue by the fact that none of us (or our friends) knew anything about pregnant people’s nutritional needs, even though pregnancy is something that a lot of people go through, and everyone has been affected by prenatal nutrition before. We felt that it should be more mainstream, and our hope with this project was to help with that. The website was built using React, which was a completely new framework for all of us. Having to learn React from scratch while managing our busy schedules proved to be a great challenge. What exacerbated the challenge was the fact that our team made the decision to completely avoid generative AI usage during the development process. Our main takeaways from this experience: React is fun, but hard to learn, and pregnant people have a lot to keep track of.
