Pregnancy Feature: Why hasn't it been included yet?

[MegMacG]

I am very disappointed that FitBit has still not managed to include a Pregnancy feature in their app or devices, and continue to leave the suggestion open only to votes. How is it that they have neglected to consider half of its demographic, or deem this topic not important enough to pursue? 

Including a pregnancy option is not the same as adding elements such as climbing stairs, etc., to the app & device -- it's adding a fundamental health baseline to your products, so that they are relevant to the women who purchase them. Failing to include pregnancy in the list of health options renders your products virtually useless to those who are pregnant.

I purchased my Luxe last year following the birth of my daughter. Even then it was frustrating that I had to log-on to the website each day to log the calories I burned while breastfeeding. Now that I am pregnant, I feel that once again FitBit has failed to consider the natural stages of my life. 

It really shouldn't be this difficult for female FitBit users to receive an optimal user experience.

My mouth falls open “it’s possible to vote”?

😂😂😂 come on is Fitbit management born on another planet?, or just a highly male dominated culture without respect for women? Why is it needed for women to ‘vote’ for something fundamental? I mean did the community also needed to vote for the feature ‘steps’, ‘water’, ‘food’… I seriously want to get rid of this device considering the fact that it’s for over one year useless, and by the time it can have a purpose, the guaranty expired and economical life value expired, counting 9 months + breastfeeding 4/5 months.

Or add pregnancy, or market your product as “only suitable for men”. This also solves the issue, by just being straight forward about the fact that women’s health is out of your scope  👍

That has been there since 2018. Are you seriously saying it’s been considered? Seems more like you simply want to neglect a very big group of population. It’s absolutely absurd that you refer people to a 2018 suggestion that you’ve ignored all these years.

What a joke! Fitbit basically disregards the major health mile stone of 50% (if not more) of its' users by not including pregnancy? Clearly most of your designers and engineers are men. This only makes me not want to buy another fitbit in the future. Do better.
