Aimed at the Dad who doesn’t already help his partner.

This app is fine, it has some good information regarding pregnancy but if you need to be told by an app to “clean up the kitchen after a meal without being asked” then you shouldn’t be having a child and need to work on being a better partner to your significant other.

Thanks for your feedback! We completely agree that being a supportive partner shouldn’t require an app to tell you to help around the house. ❤️ Paternal isn’t about teaching dads the basics of being a good partner. It’s about helping them understand pregnancy, prepare for birth, support their partner through the physical and emotional changes, and navigate the things they might not know to expect as a first-time dad. We know every relationship is different, and our aim is to give dads the knowledge and confidence to be as involved and supportive as possible during one of life’s biggest changes. Thanks for recognising the pregnancy information as useful, and we’ll continue improving the app based on feedback.

Perfect for first time dads!

I'm really enjoying Paternal. I haven't found anything else quite like it. The quick guides make it so easy to take on information without feeling overwhelmed, and they've helped me feel much more proactive throughout our pregnancy. Before finding paternal, I felt like I was constantly playing catch up but now I feel more prepared and ready for the next milestone! I've already started working through the checklists too, not long to go now! Can’t recommend it enough to any other dads to be!

Thank you so much, Mike 🙌 This is exactly why we built Paternal. We want dads to feel prepared, involved and confident throughout pregnancy, rather than constantly feeling like they’re playing catch-up. Really glad the quick guides and checklists are helping. Not long to go now, you’ve got this! 👊

A breath of fresh air

My husband has downloaded this app and he’s been loving it (and so have I!). All the other pregnancy apps out there are very aimed at women and also all the information out there is very overwhelming, especially for Dads! My husband was reluctant to download any apps or buy any books but he has really been enjoying this app for its simplicity but genuine usefulness (and as a pregnant wife, I’ve been loving that he’s taken on some of the mental load by learning from the app). Thanks so much for making this app!! ❤️

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! ❤️ This is exactly why we created Paternal. We wanted to make pregnancy feel less overwhelming for dads and give them practical, genuinely useful ways to understand what’s going on and support their partners. Hearing that your husband is enjoying it and that it’s helped take some of the mental load off you means so much to us. Thank you for giving Paternal a chance and for sharing this! 🙌

Love the tool section

Started using the Paternal app for the checklists but paid and now love that I’ve got the birth plan and appointments tracked on my phone. A lot less arguments about me forgetting them! Brilliant idea. Exactly what all couples need. Well done!!!

Thank you so much for the brilliant review! ❤️ We’re so glad Paternal is helping keep everything in one place and, hopefully, keeping a few arguments about forgotten appointments at bay 😂 That’s exactly why we built it, to help dads feel more involved, prepared and useful throughout pregnancy. Thanks for being part of Paternal! 🙌

Love Paternal!

The insights are really easy to understand and actually feel relevant, without overwhelming you with loads of information. I especially love the quick actions, they make it really easy to know what you can actually do to support your partner rather than just reading about pregnancy. Really useful for dads and birth partners who want to feel more prepared.
