Pregknowsis.com, launched recently with the goal of taking some of the mystery out of pregnancy advice. It uses questions posed to a large community of users to generate individual answers, advancing online pregnancy conversation from folk wisdom and she say/she say to custom answers. It’s a novel concept which aims to lessen pregnancy guesswork.Who knows maybe you will find answers to questions that you have been pondering.

Here’s how it all works:

1. A user goes to www.pregknowsis.com, creates a profile and answers a few lifestyle and demographic questions (age, diet, BMI, etc.).

2. Once registration is complete, users can go on and ask/answer their conception, pregnancy, or childhood related questions. Answers are instantly displayed using community answers in statistical form (individual users are anonymous). Once enough people answer a question, the answers become statistically significant (i.e. reliable) and gives users trustworthy information.

3. Answers can be taken one step further, to customization, by 8 different categories submitted in profiles. Users can then apply this to change lifestyle factors influencing fertility, from social drinking habits to BMI.

Getting your custom answer is called “getting your Pregknowsis” and you can get it for any question you can think of, from effectiveness of fertility treatments to breast feeding in public. “During pregnancy, I struggled with a lack of reliable information available on the web and even the facts or statistics available to doctors”, said cofounder Natasha McAnuff. “Pregknowsis.com was born from a desire to have better information. We use the same statistical analysis used to evolve information for decades (i.e. online shopping, car buying, business, etc.) and apply it to pregnancy”
