How it works

Here's exactly how your AI doula supports you.

From the moment you sign up through pregnancy and postpartum, BellyPal is proactively in your corner — and guiding your circle on how to help.

1

Sign up and share where you are

Tell us your due date, what matters most to you (anxiety, sleep, symptoms, birth prep), and who you want in your support circle. Setup takes about two minutes.

2

Your AI doula starts checking in

Within hours, BellyPal begins reaching out via text — multiple times daily. Every message is contextual to your exact pregnancy week, your focus areas, and what you've shared before.

3

Text back anytime for 24/7 support

When anxiety spikes, a symptom worries you, or you just need reassurance, text your AI doula anytime. She responds with warm, practical guidance and clear next steps.

4

Your circle gets role-specific guidance

Partners receive different guidance than parents or friends. Each supporter gets curated messages on their own schedule — daily, weekly, or biweekly — so they know exactly how to help without you having to coordinate.

5

Your story writes itself into a journal.

Every day, your conversations with your AI doula become a journal entry — your emotions, your questions, your milestones, all captured automatically. Text photos and they're woven in too. You're exhausted, but your journey still gets remembered.

6

Transition to postpartum seamlessly

When your baby arrives, your AI doula adapts. Check-ins shift to recovery, feeding, emotions, and sleep. Your support circle gets postpartum-specific guidance. Same proactive care, new stage.

What a conversation looks like

Proactive morning check-in

BellyPalGood morning! You're at 28 weeks now — how did you sleep? Any new symptoms worth noting today?
YouSlept okay but my back is killing me. Is that normal at this point?
BellyPalVery common at 28 weeks as your center of gravity shifts. Three things that can help: a pillow between your knees at night, gentle stretches before bed, and avoiding standing in one position too long. Want me to walk through a quick stretch routine?

Late-night anxiety support

YouI can't sleep. My scan is tomorrow and I'm spiraling.
BellyPalYou're not overreacting — scan anxiety is one of the most common things I hear about. Let's walk through tomorrow step by step, then I'll give you 3 things to do right now so you feel steadier going in.

Support circle message (to partner)

BellyPalHi! This week she's at 34 weeks — the baby is gaining about half a pound per week now. She may be more tired and uncomfortable. One thing that really helps this week: take over one evening task without being asked. Even something small like dishes or folding laundry makes a big difference.
