who are you?
92 weeks.
from first heartbeat to first birthday. most apps cover 40 weeks. belay covers both halves of the journey.
every pregnancy app is built for her. what about you? he wants to help. he just doesn't know how.
you want to help. you just don't know where to start. he's not going to download a pink pregnancy app. and he shouldn't have to.
nobody prepared you for this. that changes now. there's finally an app that meets him where he is. and it's actually good.
a trail guide. an ai coach. a toolkit built for you.
your trail gear
four guided tools for the moments that matter most.
most apps give you information. belay gives you something to do with it.
trailhead values
unlocks week 1
define what matters before the trail gets steep. your values shape every ranger conversation.
summit plan
unlocks week 28
your birth preferences, your way. pain management, first moments, feeding, backup plans — all in one place.

unlocks week 28
evidence-based medical decisions with AAP, WHO, and ACOG sources. share with your birth team.
base camp plan
unlocks week 30
your postpartum survival plan. sleep shifts, visitor boundaries, meal strategy, mental health — built before baby arrives.
the ranger
your trail coach for the hard questions. a trail coach for the questions he's afraid to ask.
not generic tips — real conversations about what's happening right now, in your week, with your situation. every question he's embarrassed to google, every scenario he hasn't prepared for — answered by an AI that actually knows his week.
the ranger
ai trail coach · available 24/7
reads your birth plan answers and checks in after the appointments that matter
notices when your mood dips three days in a row — and reaches out before you ask
builds personalized checklists from your situation, not a generic template
some questions need a campfire, not a search engine.
trail gear
weekly waypoints
know exactly what's happening this week. your baby, your partner, what you can actually do. not a textbook — a trail guide. every week, he'll know exactly what's happening — your baby, how you're feeling, and what he can actually do to help.
92 weeks. every one mapped.
emergency beacon
warning signs, emergency numbers, what to do — all in one place. when it matters, you won't have to think. works offline. he'll know exactly when to call the doctor — so you don't have to worry about whether he'll freeze. warning signs, numbers, action steps. works offline.
one tap. no searching.
weather check postcards
quick mood check-ins. trend tracking. crisis resources if you need them. because partners struggle too — and nobody checks on you. weekly words of affirmation sent to his phone — the right things to say when he doesn't know how. help him help you.
30 seconds. every day. the words you wish he'd say.
the trail doesn't end at delivery.
52 weeks of postpartum guidance — sleep training, solid food prep, milestones, and mental health check-ins. real trail tips for the hardest part of the journey. 52 weeks of postpartum guidance. sleep training, milestones, mental health support. your partner will have real, actionable advice long after everyone stops checking in.
backpack
your readiness dashboard. artifact progress, saved checklists, mood trends — everything in one place.
campfire circle
an anonymous community of partners on the same trail. share experiences, ask questions, know you're not alone.
daily nudges
smart notifications that know your week. waypoint unlocks, mood check-ins, and ranger follow-ups — always timely, never spammy.
field notes
60 evidence-based reference cards — from "is this normal?" to "what do I do now?" — with sources from AAP, WHO, and ACOG.
the full journey
pregnancy
after birth
first heartbeat
birth day
first birthday
most apps cover the left half. belay covers both.
your baby this week
what's growing, what's changing, and all the weird-cool stuff happening.
how she's feeling how you're feeling
the real stuff — symptoms, emotions, what she might not say out loud. real talk about what's happening in your body and mind this week.
what you can do what he can do
actual moves. not "be supportive" — specific things that actually help this week. specific actions, not generic advice. things that actually help this week.
the descent
most apps quit at delivery.
the hardest part is just beginning.
paternal depression rates
8%
months 1-3
26%
months 3-6
paternal depression triples — right when leave ends and support disappears.
the 3-6 month mark is the danger zone. sleep regression hits. friends stop checking in. every other app has already quit. belay stays with you for 52 weeks after birth — because showing up doesn't stop at the summit.
the 3-6 month mark is the danger zone. sleep regression hits. friends stop checking in. belay stays for 52 weeks after birth. your partner will have support long after everyone else stops checking in.
why i built this the partner who built this
I built Belay because I was that partner. Sitting in the OB waiting room, scrolling Reddit at 2am, asking "what can I do?" and seeing her eyes glaze over. Every app was built for her. Every book assumed I'd figure it out. Nobody told me what was coming — or how to show up when it did. So I built the guide I wish I'd had.
