Papa — Pregnancy for Dads

Pregnancy, birth and the first three months — week by week. NHS-aware, written for British dads. Paternity leave, Red Book, kit lists. Start a 7-day free trial.

The first nine months, made for British dads.

Papa is a weekly companion for first-time fathers — honest, practical, and NHS-aware. Pregnancy, birth, and the first three months with your baby, one week at a time.

WHAT YOU GET

• Weekly guidance from the first test to the 4th trimester — what's happening with baby, how mum is feeling, and concrete ways to support her. • A full checklist for the UK: Statutory Paternity Leave, registering the birth at the Register Office (42 days — 21 in Scotland), ordering the NHS Red Book, Child Benefit, and British baby gear comparisons (Bugaboo, Silver Cross, Joie, Maxi-Cosi) with real prices. • Warning signs you need to know — when to call the midwife, NHS 111, or 999. Pregnancy red flags, labour triggers, postpartum signals for mum, newborn symptoms that need A&E. Written to be scanned at 3am, not to overwhelm. • Dad notes — the specific, non-obvious tips someone should have told you in week 8. Perineum massage pros and cons, TENS machine positioning, exactly what to pack for the hospital bag (beyond the NHS list).

BUILT FOR THE UK

Papa isn't a translated template. Every piece of admin, healthcare, and benefit information is written for the UK system:

• Antenatal care and midwife-led vs consultant-led care • Statutory Paternity Pay (2 weeks at £187.18/week from April 2025) and Shared Parental Leave • NHS Red Book and the 6-week baby check • Child Benefit, Tax-Free Childcare, and the High Income Child Benefit Charge • Health Visitor schedule and the 8-week mood check • The Lullaby Trust safe-sleep guidance • Immunisation schedule at 8, 12, 16 weeks per the NHS calendar

WHY WE BUILT IT

Hi, I'm Cem. I built Papa while my wife Yekbun was pregnant with our first son, Levi. We're an expat couple in the Netherlands, but the app that took shape — apps for mums, nothing for dads — was the same story everywhere we looked. So we built the one we wished we'd had, and we wrote each country into it properly.
