Pregnancy widgets for iPhone: your week on the lock screen
You'll check your pregnancy week hundreds of times over nine months. A widget puts it where you already look — your home screen and lock screen — so the answer is just a glance away.
What a pregnancy widget shows
A good pregnancy widget answers the three questions you actually re-check: what week am I on (with days — "Week 20 +3"), how big is my baby (this week's size comparison), and how long until the due date. It should update itself daily, with zero taps.
Home screen vs. lock screen widgets
- Home screen widgets come in small, medium, and large. Small fits your week and baby size; large adds due date, countdown, and length/weight stats.
- Lock screen widgets are the glanceable ones: circular (week + size icon), rectangular (week, size name and progress), and inline (a line of text above the clock). You see them every time you raise your phone.
How to add widgets on iPhone
- Home screen: press and hold an empty spot, tap Edit → Add Widget, search for your pregnancy app, choose a size, and place it.
- Lock screen: press and hold the lock screen, tap Customize → Lock Screen, select the widget area, and add the pregnancy widget.

- Prefer voice? Ask Siri what week you're on — no widget needed
Quick answers
Do pregnancy widgets drain battery?
No — iOS widgets are snapshots refreshed on a schedule, not running apps. A daily-updating pregnancy widget has a negligible battery impact.
Can I see my pregnancy week without unlocking my phone?
Yes. Lock screen widgets show your week, baby size, and countdown right on the lock screen, and update automatically each day.
