What to expect when you're expecting


Some information can be forgotten when it is presented in the beginning, but the main idea stays the same. I might not remember all the details of Expecting 101, but I do remember how great of an idea it was. Many people fail to realize that there are many mothers whom are not aware of what to expect for the first time. Society puts labels and gives women a compressive notion that mothers are expected to be perfect and know everything. Social media makes it harder, because women only post the beautiful parts of motherhood. This set an unrealistic standard that they are expected to uphold. However, that is not the case and many women are ashamed of asking for help. Which brings me to Expecting 101…

              The presentation itself was well presented and all the group members were well informed. The layout was visually appealing (or that could be me being biased because it had my favorite color) and it made since why the slides were in a certain order. Adding the video in the beginning was a nice touch as it drew our attention in. It was a good idea considering that it can getting boring when all you do is talk about an issue for minutes at time. The app was easy to look at and comprehend. While taking a picture of your baby bump and having an ultrasound appear on your phone is not realistic, the concept is a good one. Who knows? Maybe 10 years from now it could happen. As pointed out by another classmate, it would be nice to have a chat box. It would allow mothers to give their stories and any advice they might have. As far as how the app was shown, it looked good and you knew what you were getting when you clicked on an icon. The logo? One word for it. Amazing. It looked great and it was creative. The idea has room for improvement, but I can honestly say that I can see this being an actual app. While it is targeted for women, men could use a lesson or two as well.
