Cradled helps expecting moms build their support village during pregnancy so it's fully operational before baby arrives. Built by a registered social worker and certified birth doula with 10 years of clinical experience, Cradled removes the emotional labor of asking for help. Your village knows what you need automatically, powered by a needs profile you fill out once during pregnancy. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up during pregnancy Build your birth plan, tell your village your preferences — meals, visitors, quiet hours — and align with your partner on the decisions that matter. 2. Your village joins Invite your partner, family, and close friends. They each get their own view of what you need. No group chat chaos, no awkward asking. 3. Baby arrives, village activates Your decisions flow into action. Meals get scheduled, tasks get claimed, and your people know exactly how to help. You never have to ask. PRENATAL FEATURES • Birth plan builder — 6 structured sections, shareable with your care provider • Partner alignment tool — make decisions together on birth logistics, household roles, visitor policy, and feeding • Weekly check-in — track mood, anxiety, energy, body, support, and comfort • Appointment notes — log what happened at your midwife or OB visit, share with your doula • Gestational timeline — your week at a glance, never framed as a countdown POSTPARTUM FEATURES • Daily check-in — mood, energy, body in under 60 seconds • "I need something" button — one tap to signal your village, no explanation needed • Village coordination — tasks get claimed, meals get scheduled, your people show up • Feeding tracker — breast, pump, formula, or combo with latch comfort and satisfaction • Weekly doula-authored tips matched to your postpartum week FOR YOUR PARTNER Your partner gets their own experience — weekly check-in, daily playbook with doula-authored guidance, and a clear view of what the village is handling. Because this is hard for them too. FOR YOUR VILLAGE Your people see what needs doing and can claim tasks or raise their hand to offer help before you ask. Dietary notes, quiet hours, and boundaries are visible so they always know how to show up. FOR YOUR CARE PROVIDER Doulas, midwives, and counsellors get a professional dashboard — check-in trends between visits, birth plan co-creation, visit logging with private notes, and feeding data. Extend your care without extending your hours. PRIVACY FIRST • You control exactly what your partner, village, and care provider can see • Check-in data is never shared without your explicit permission • Feeding data stays between you and your care provider • We support, we never diagnose Cradled was designed by someone who has sat with hundreds of new mothers.
