Pregnancy setting/mode for more accurate data

[JLMD]

Necessary:

Logging a pregnancy is a must, as is the ammenorheic period due to breastfeeding.  These drastically affect predictions making the app useless for many.  Eg. I have entered my data since 2011.  My periods are like clock work occurring every 27 days... but I have had 4 pregnancies in that time so the app is telling me that my peiods average every 104 days.

Useful:

Option to add basal body temp and ovulation data (eg. predictor strip).

Cannot believe that this is still not a thing . If I had realised this I wouldn’t have spent my money yesterday!  So disappointing that this is still not active

Please make this happen! Have used Fitbit for years and having recently become pregnant I’m stumped that I’m not able to let my Fitbit know about it, especially when menstrual tracking is a feature? Why would there be a menstrual health feature but not a pregnancy health feature? 

[VStubbs]

Please could this be added as a feature, even just to option to remove a period cycle (which for most would be roughly 9 months) from being used to calculate period predictions. It would be great to have more accurate ways for women to track their health during pregnancy without it disrupting all their data and predictions from before and after the pregnancy.

Under menstrual health have pregnancy and miscarriage options

It feels a bit ridiculous that I can’t indicate in Fitbit that I am pregnant. Not only would it make period tracking better (it could tell me how far along I am rather than X days since last period), it also feels really relevant for cardio goals, and expected increase in resting heart rate. Not even having a simple toggle in the period tracking system just makes this product not feel like it’s designed with women in mind.

It is 2025 (7 years since initial request), and still no update. I am using fitbit since 2022, and I discovered this now as I am pregnant but this app is still predicting my menstrual cycle. 

This feature can also help expecting dads too. 

There is 4 pathways from here-

1- remove the menstrual tracker altogether as it only does partial work. No need to calculate menstrual if you cannot account for pregnancy. 

2-a simple update like 'i am pregnant' and stop the clock to preserve the timer will do. 

3- collaborate with a pregnancy tracking app to export those features

4- develop the full app.

Looks like for last 7 years, fitbit has actively chose to do none but there is still time to improve.

hello so I see that this idea has been in the world since somewhere between 2014 & 2018 is there an update on if this is going to be developed finally?

It is simply wild that developers never thought of the needs of it women consumers needs as a whole (pregnancy & menopause.)

Would be great to have an update.

TIA

I lost my baby at 20 weeks, but all I have from the medical team is a perfectly fine 12 weeks ultrasound and crystal clear blood tests. There is nothing to say why this happened. I can look at my history and try to extract the data of when the baby passed away, to see if there was any indication of why this happened, or if I did something wrong. I know I may never have a definitive answer, but I know other mothers in my place would also benefit in seeing all the potential of data from Fitbit correlated with the gestational weeks.

It's been over a decade since women asked for the ability to track pregnancy via the app, or at least a way to pause period tracking so they don't have to log 9 months of false data, affecting accuracy multiple years @ times. Show that we are being heard & supported by providing this feature, given political climate on the rights to our own bodies.

Hi @Alexa-Gail. Thank you for your product feedback about adding pregnancy tracking on the Fitbit app with us! We've found a similar request and merged yours with it. You can find it here. Please vote on the existing thread to help us track interest. To learn more about how Fitbit decides what product feedback is developed, visit our FAQs.

It's crazy that in the nearly seven years since this was first suggested, Fitbit still hasn't enabled users to enter pregnancy mode. They are falling behind their competitors, which has this feature in their app. I'm not even concerned about the cycle tracking stats being off because I don't use Fitbit for that. But pregnancy changes heart rate, weight, and caloric needs, none of which are able to be tracked accurately using Fitbit while pregnant and change the longterm averages on nearly every metric without consideration to the short-term condition of pregnancy. This makes Fitbit essentially useless not only during pregnancy, but also after. Will things eventually reset? Maybe, unless/until a woman is pregnant again, which may be before stats average back to the norm. It's just nonsensical that Fitbit excludes half the population from accurate health tracking. Get more female leaders and developers and you likely won't have this problem any longer.
