Papa — Pregnancy for Dads

Pregnancy, birth and the first three months — week by week, for Canadian dads. Provincial health cards, EI/QPIP, CCB, RESP — all covered. Start a 7-day free trial.

The first nine months, made for Canadian dads.

Papa is a weekly companion for first-time fathers — honest, practical, and built around the Canadian system. 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 mom is feeling, and concrete ways to support her. • A full Canadian checklist: provincial birth registration (30 days), the Newborn Bundle for SIN + birth certificate + CCB in one form, EI Parental Benefits (standard vs extended), Quebec's QPIP, baby's Medicare / health card, and RESP savings with the Canada Education Savings Grant. • Warning signs you need to know — when to call the midwife, 811 telehealth, or 911. Pregnancy red flags, labour triggers, postpartum signals for mom, newborn symptoms needing the ER. Written to be scanned at 3am, not to overwhelm. • Dad notes — the specific, non-obvious tips someone should have told you in week 8.

BUILT FOR CANADA

Papa isn't a translated template. Every piece of admin, healthcare, and benefit information is written for Canada (and flagged where Quebec differs):

• Hospital vs midwife-led care, and where home birth is covered • EI Parental Benefits, Extended Parental, and QPIP (Quebec Parental Insurance Plan) • Provincial health card enrolment for baby • Canada Child Benefit (CCB, up to $7,787/year under 6 in 2024–25), Newborn Bundle • RESP: Canada Education Savings Grant (20% match, up to $500/year), Canada Learning Bond • Car seat safety per Transport Canada standards • Immunization schedules (provincial variations)

YOUR LANGUAGE

WHY WE BUILT IT

Hi, I'm Cem. I built Papa while my wife Yekbun was pregnant with our first son, Levi. We're expats who went through a first pregnancy with nothing written for dads. So I made the thing I wished I'd had — and wrote each country into it properly, including the provincial and QPIP differences.
