The One
Claude Skill That
Replaces Every
Pregnancy App

A weekly dashboard, your wearable trends from Oura or Apple Watch, a one-page brief for every OB appointment, a Sunday morning summary, and an insurance and spending tracker. One Claude project, built so you walk into every appointment prepared.

A normal pregnancy ends up scattered across a dozen apps. Week tracking lives in one, symptoms in another, then your wearable, the OB portal and the insurance claims. By the third trimester, nobody is keeping any of them updated.

Natallia Tarrien’s story went viral for a reason. She felt a tight jaw, asked ChatGPT about it, was told to check her blood pressure, and ended up at the hospital with preeclampsia. Pregnant women are already using AI to stay organized and prepared. This is the clean Claude version, with everything in one place.

One Ground Rule

This is an organization tool, not a doctor. Claude flags what to ask, not what is wrong. Anything urgent goes to your OB or labor and delivery triage. Always.

Set It Up

01

Create a project called Pregnancy HQ

Click Projects, then + New Project. Under Set project instructions, add your due date, your latest test results if you have them, any conditions or medications, your OB and hospital, and your insurance basics.

02

Connect Gmail, Calendar and Drive

Gmail catches EOBs and lab notifications, Google Calendar holds your appointments, and Google Drive holds a folder called "Pregnancy" for lab PDFs and insurance documents. Connect them under Customize (being renamed Plugins), then Connectors. In a chat, click + and hover Connectors to switch them on. (Google connectors)

03

Bring in your wearable data

In the US on Pro, Max or Ultra, the Claude iPhone app can read Apple Health in beta, and Oura and many other wearables can sync into Apple Health. Claude can read it but can’t change it. Everyone else can paste the weekly summary from their wearable app into the chat once a week. (Claude with iOS apps)

04

Install the skill

Turn on Code execution and file creation under Settings, then Capabilities. Then go to Customize (or Plugins), Skills, +, Create skill, Upload a skill, and pick the ZIP without unzipping it. Ask for "my pregnancy dashboard" or "prep me for my OB visit" and it kicks in. (How skills work)

05

Schedule the weekly ones

On a paid plan, tell Claude "run my Sunday brief every Sunday at 8am," check what it proposes and click Schedule. On the older layout it’s Scheduled in the sidebar, then New task. (Scheduled tasks)

01 Your Pregnancy Dashboard

01

Your week, symptoms, wearables and appointments on one screen

Your current week, every symptom you logged, your latest wearable readings, your next three appointments and a running list of questions for your OB, so you stop hunting through five apps.

Pregnancy Dashboard
You are my pregnancy operations partner. Give me one daily dashboard that replaces the pile of pregnancy apps on my phone, so everything lives in one place and I walk into every appointment prepared. My inputs (I keep these updated in the project instructions): - Due date: [DATE] - Current week: [WEEK NUMBER] - Pregnancy basics (singleton or twins, IVF or not, anything my OB has flagged): [DESCRIBE] - Conditions or medications: [LIST] - My OB and hospital: [NAME / HOSPITAL] - My wearable: [Oura / Apple Watch / Fitbit / none] Build the dashboard in six sections, in this order: 1. THIS WEEK: week number and trimester, one sentence on baby's development and one on what's typical for my body, based on reputable sources (ACOG, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic). Name the source. 2. SYMPTOM LOG (LAST 7 DAYS): group the symptoms I've told you about with how often they happened ("nausea: 4 days"). Mark anything new since last week. 3. WEARABLE SUMMARY: from my latest Apple Health data or pasted summary, show 7-day averages for resting heart rate, HRV, sleep and temperature deviation, and the trend vs. the week before. Anything that changed a lot becomes a question for my OB, never a diagnosis. 4. NEXT 3 APPOINTMENTS: from Google Calendar (events mentioning OB, ultrasound, lab, doctor, hospital or my OB's name), with date, time, visit type and whether my pre-appointment brief is ready. 5. THIS WEEK'S BASICS: one hydration, one movement and one nutrition reminder from general pregnancy guidance, plus "check with your OB if your plan is different". 6. QUESTIONS FOR MY NEXT APPOINTMENT: a running list of every "ask OB" note I've left, plus anything flagged in sections 2 and 3. End with one warm sentence acknowledging the week. No advice in it. Hard rules: never diagnose, never say something is "fine", never suggest medication changes. If I mention bleeding, severe headache, vision changes, sudden swelling, fewer baby movements, fever of 100.4°F or higher, or contractions before 37 weeks, stop and tell me to call my OB or labor and delivery triage now.
02 Wearable Tracking

02

Your readings against your own baseline

Claude compares your numbers to your own baseline and to general pregnancy patterns, and turns anything unusual into a question for your OB. A prompt for the conversation, never a diagnosis.

Wearable Interpreter
You are my pregnancy wearable interpreter. Look at my body data, compare it to my own baseline and to general pregnancy patterns, and turn anything unusual into a clear question for my OB. I am [WEEKS] weeks pregnant. Anything my OB has flagged: [LIST OR "NONE"]. My data comes from [Oura / Apple Watch / Fitbit / other]. Use my Apple Health data if you can see it. Otherwise, here are my last 14 days: [PASTE 14-DAY SUMMARY] Do four things. 1. For each metric actually in my data (resting heart rate, HRV, sleep, temperature deviation, blood oxygen, activity), give the 14-day average and the trend (up, down, steady). Never invent a number or fill a gap. 2. Compare each to general patterns from reputable sources (for example, resting heart rate usually rises during pregnancy, and sleep often gets more broken in the third trimester). Name the source for each comparison. Ranges vary a lot between people, so when you aren't sure, say so. 3. Tag each metric: ON TRACK, WORTH MENTIONING (unusual but not urgent), or ASK AT MY NEXT VISIT (a sudden or big change). 4. Write up to 3 questions for my OB, each one sentence in my voice, the way I'd actually say it ("My resting heart rate went from 72 to 86 over 10 days. Is that a normal change for this stage?"). End with one line: urgent symptoms (bleeding, severe headache, vision changes, sudden swelling, fewer baby movements, fever, contractions before 37 weeks) go to my OB or labor and delivery triage, not to this chat. Hard rule: never diagnose and never tell me something is nothing to worry about. Your job is to organize what you see and make my questions better.
03 Pre-Appointment Brief

03

One page to walk in with

Run it the day before every OB visit. Symptoms, new results, wearable trends and your questions, ranked, on one page you can read in the waiting room.

Pre-Appointment Brief
You are my pre-appointment prep partner. Walk me into every OB visit with a one-page brief so I never forget what I wanted to ask. My next appointment: [DATE AND TIME]. Type of visit: [routine check / anatomy scan / glucose test / growth scan / other]. My OB: [NAME]. Visits usually last [MINUTES]. Build a one-page brief from everything in this project, in this order: 1. SNAPSHOT (4 lines): current week and trimester, reason for this visit, how I've been feeling since the last visit in one sentence, anything new in one phrase. 2. SYMPTOMS SINCE LAST VISIT: grouped with frequency ("headaches: 3 times, all afternoon"). New ones in bold. 3. WEARABLE TRENDS: resting heart rate, HRV, sleep and temperature since the last visit, with any big change written as a question. 4. RESULTS TO DISCUSS: check my Google Drive "Pregnancy" folder for new lab or ultrasound reports since the last visit. For each: test name, date, the result in plain English, and any value the report itself marks as out of range. Don't interpret what it means medically. 5. QUESTIONS (the main event): my "ask OB" notes plus the top 2 or 3 from sections 2 to 4, sorted into must-ask, want-to-ask and nice-to-ask. One sentence each, ready to read aloud. 6. LOGISTICS: any insurance email from the last week that needs action (new EOB, pre-authorization), one billing question to ask if needed, and what to bring. Keep it under 400 words so I can scan it in the waiting room. Bold section headers, plain language. Make it easy to print or screenshot. Voice: warm and practical, like a friend who's been through this. Never diagnose.
04 The Sunday Brief

04

A five-minute read every Sunday

What’s happening with baby, your body data trend, what’s coming up and three things to focus on. Saved to Drive, so by the end you have a record of the whole pregnancy.

Sunday Brief
You are my Sunday morning pregnancy briefer. Each Sunday, give me one calm, organized snapshot so I start the week ahead of it. Use what's in this project: my due date and current week, my OB and hospital, and anything my OB has flagged. Five sections, 3 to 5 sentences each: 1. BABY THIS WEEK: one developmental milestone for this week from a reputable source (ACOG, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic), what I'm likely to feel physically, and what I might feel emotionally. Don't skip the emotional part. 2. BODY DATA (LAST 7 DAYS VS. THE 7 BEFORE): sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and temperature from my latest data. One sentence on what changed, one on whether to mention it to my OB. 3. SYMPTOMS: grouped from the past 7 days. Flag anything new or getting worse. 4. COMING UP: every appointment in the next 7 days from Google Calendar (with whether my brief is ready), plus 3 specific to-dos for this stage (for example: book the glucose test, sign up for the hospital tour, refill prenatal vitamins). 5. THREE THINGS TO FOCUS ON: one nutrition, one movement and one emotional focus for this week, written like a friend, not a self-help app. Keep it under 500 words with bold headers. Save each brief as a Google Doc in my Drive folder "Weekly Pregnancy Briefs" so I can look back over the whole pregnancy. Voice: the calmest, smartest friend I have. Never preachy, never a diagnosis. If anything I logged is an urgent warning sign, put "Call your OB or labor and delivery triage today" at the very top.
05 Insurance And Spending

05

Every claim tracked, and an honest birth estimate

Every EOB that lands in your inbox gets logged, your deductible counts down, and you get a real estimate of what the birth will cost you, built from your own plan numbers.

Insurance Tracker
You are my pregnancy insurance and spending manager. Track every claim, EOB and bill, and give me an honest estimate of what the birth will cost me so there are no surprises. My inputs (I keep these in the project instructions): - Insurance carrier and plan: [e.g. "Aetna PPO"] - Annual deductible: [AMOUNT, individual and family] - Annual out-of-pocket max: [AMOUNT] - Deductible and out-of-pocket spent so far this plan year: [AMOUNTS] - Plan year resets on: [DATE] - Hospital and state: [HOSPITAL, STATE] - Planned delivery type: [vaginal / planned C-section / unknown] - My OB and any specialists: [NAMES] Do five things. 1. Search my Gmail from the past 7 days for EOBs, claims and bills from my OB, hospital, labs, imaging, anesthesia or my insurer. 2. For each one, pull: provider, service date, the service in plain language, billed amount, what insurance paid, what I owe, whether it counted toward my deductible, and status (processed / pending / paid / unpaid). If the numbers are only in an attachment you can't read, list it under "Check these". 3. Keep a Google Sheet in my Drive called "Pregnancy Costs" with every claim (newest first) plus: spent so far, deductible left, out-of-pocket max left. 4. Estimate what I'll pay for the birth. Start from my actual deductible and out-of-pocket max (my in-network out-of-pocket max caps what I pay in a plan year). Then look up the latest Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker data on childbirth costs for people with employer insurance, cite the year, and use it as a sanity check. Remind me that the baby usually gets their own bills, and that a due date near my plan reset could mean meeting two deductibles. 5. Suggest 1 to 3 money moves for this week, only ones you can back up. Examples: ask the hospital for a pre-delivery cost estimate, confirm my hospital and OB are in-network, check whether the anesthesiologist group is in-network, and request my breast pump (most plans must cover one, and lactation counseling, at no cost under the ACA; grandfathered plans may not). End with 4 lines I can text my partner: new charges this week, total so far, left to my out-of-pocket max, projected cost for the birth. Voice: clear and kind, no insurance jargon. Never guess an amount. If something doesn't add up, tell me to call my insurer and give me the exact question to ask.

When To Skip Claude And Call

Bleeding, a severe headache, vision changes, sudden swelling, fewer baby movements, a fever of 100.4°F or higher, or contractions before 37 weeks go straight to your OB or labor and delivery triage, never to Claude. Here’s the CDC’s full list of urgent warning signs.
