The Dad Center is the week-by-week pregnancy app for dads and first-time fathers. Every week you get a five-minute briefing: how your baby is developing, what your partner is going through, and the few things to do. A baby budget planner shows what the first year costs, 250+ tasks land on the right week, and both of you see the same plan.

BABY BUDGET PLANNER
200 real baby items, from gear to daycare deposits, each with a typical price range. Most come with named Value and Premium picks, and many with what to look for. See planned, spent and left at a glance, tick items off as you buy them, and print, download or share the list. The budget planner is free.

65 WEEKLY BRIEFINGS
From early pregnancy through 18+ months: your baby, your partner and you, in a few minutes a week. Every pregnancy week has its own baby-size picture.

250+ TASKS, EACH ON THE RIGHT WEEK
Insurance, car seat install, hospital bag, babyproofing. Assign each task to mom, dad or both. Anything you missed waits in Catch up.

32 CHECKLISTS AND A BIRTH PLAN
Hospital bag, nursery, newborn care and more. Print, download or share any checklist. Fill in the birth plan template and save it as a PDF.

KICK COUNTER, CONTRACTION TIMER AND CARE TEAM
Appointments with the questions you want to ask, and from week 28 a kick counter and a contraction timer. Save her OB or midwife, the hospital's labor and delivery line and your pediatrician, one tap away. After the birth, log feeds, diapers, sleep, temperature, medicine and growth. When-to-call guidance sits on the timers, the kick counter and the baby logs.

BABY NAMES, TOGETHER
7,800 names in 36 collections, from Sanskrit to Gen Alpha. Love or skip a name. Your partner only finds out if you both love it.

MILESTONE CARDS
Share the big moments of the pregnancy. Turn them off any time in Family settings.

DUE DATE CALCULATOR
Not sure of your due date? Work it out in the app.

LIBRARY
50+ source-cited articles and 63 curated videos, organized by stage.
