## What is The Belly Button?

The Belly Button is a simple, single-purpose tool for the one moment that needs one — the moment labor begins.

When it's time, Mom taps the screen. A sheer curtain slides up, the belly is revealed, and one tap on the button sends a clear, instant alert to her whole circle: care team first, then close family, then everyone else — in the exact order she chose, with the exact timing she chose.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Moms-to-be who don't want to dig through a contact list while in labor
• Care providers (OBGYNs, midwives, doulas) who need to know first, every time
• Family and friends who want to be in the loop without pestering Mom

HOW IT WORKS
Set up your notification groups before labor begins. Pick who hears first — usually your care team — and how each contact prefers to be reached: push notification, SMS, or email. When labor starts, one tap dispatches them all in the order and pacing you set. Recipients confirm receipt with a single tap, so Mom always knows the message landed.

GENTLE ON THE INSIDE, RELENTLESS WHEN IT COUNTS
The Belly Button sends time-sensitive alerts with a distinct sound, built to break through Focus and Do Not Disturb so your care team sees them right away. Labor doesn't wait.

BEYOND THE BIG DAY
Send milestone broadcasts as your story unfolds — contractions starting, on the way to the hospital, baby is here. Add a real photo of your newborn when you're ready to share. The whole circle, all the way through.

WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PAID
The Belly Button is free to download, and everyone you invite (your care team, family, and friends) joins and receives your alerts for free, always. To set up your circle and send labor alerts as the mom, a one-time purchase of $9.99 unlocks 12 months of access. It is a single charge, not a subscription, and does not auto-renew.

Simple. Focused. Built for the moment that needs it.

Great app! It made it so easy for us to keep everyone updated throughout the delivery process. Simple, convenient, and gave us all peace of mind. Highly recommend!

This app is so helpful and I’m so glad I found this app during my pregnancy. It is so easy to use and extremely helpful. I’m able to notify my family with one click of a button. If you are expecting, this app is necessary!

**Developer response:** This made our day, thank you. Reaching your whole family with one tap, especially in the middle of everything, is the whole reason we built it. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and thank you for helping other expecting families find us.

### 5/5 — Life saver!

I’m so incredibly grateful for someone creating this app! It opens communication for my family and friends for when I’m starting the birthing process and it’s fun to set up too! Love the customizable color schemes and images I can put on it 😊

**Developer response:** Thank you so much. We had a feeling setup should be something you actually enjoy, so hearing you had fun with the colors and images makes us really happy. Wishing you a smooth and joyful delivery when your day comes.

### 5/5 — Finally! A birth notification app!

*2026-07-10*

I wish we had this when my kids were born. But now my kids can use it!

### 5/5 — Easy!

*2026-07-08*

I’ve searched the internet/App Store high and low for an app or messaging system that notifies everyone about my delivery status. No group texts, thank you! And here it is!! It was so much fun to set up the app with my partner. Now, we wait for our special day to share our progress with all our family and friends with just one click! Can’t wait!

**Developer response:** No group texts was our rule too, so this made us smile. Setting it up together with your partner and then waiting for the big day is exactly how we hoped it would feel. Congratulations, and we cannot wait for your one tap when the day arrives.
