Nine months. Nine innings. Stories, scripts, and a Dugout of guys figuring it out too. Built with a doula's heart for the partner stepping up to the plate, because showing up well is something nobody taught most of us, and you deserve a hand.
Most pregnancy apps are built for the birther, and they should be. But the partner is going through something too. Big feelings with nowhere to put them. Questions you're not sure you're allowed to ask. The quiet worry of whether you're doing this right.
The 9th Inning is for that. Nine months, mapped to nine innings. Each one meets you where you are: what's happening with her body and her heart, what to say (and what to hold gently), a handful of small actions that actually matter, and a Dugout of other guys in the same inning as you.
Built dad-forward by default, with an inclusive mode for any non-birthing partner. Grounded, honest, and kind. Like a friend in your pocket who actually knows what's happening, and who's rooting for you.
Month-by-month guidance with stories, scripts, and checklists. Medical info links out to trusted sources like ACOG and March of Dimes. Your voice stays on the human stuff.
A community of partners in it with you. Organized by stage so you're always near people who understand where you are. A place to say the thing you can't say anywhere else, and to hear that other guys are feeling it too.
A quiet place to breathe, ground, and check in. Daily mood logs, breath work, grounding tools, and small prompts for the days that get heavy. Because you're carrying a lot, even when you don't say it out loud.
Dads go through postpartum. It just looks different. The sleep deprivation, the identity shifts, the relationship changes, the quiet weight of providing and protecting. Extra Innings is for the season after the birth, when the game isn't over yet and you still need somewhere to land.
The 9th Inning has a Rain Delay. It's the quiet space for partners moving through miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.
No ads there. No cheerful nudges. No upsells. A private, moderated circle for the partners who need somewhere soft to land, and gentle scripts for how to hold space for her without losing yourself.
Your grief is real, even if nobody asked about it. Your love for a baby you never got to hold is real too. You won't get skipped here.
Before first pitch on 9.9.26, we're soft-launching to 111 dads, partners, and the people who love them. Real feedback. Real use. No surveys, no focus groups, just honest conversations while we get it right.
Leave your email below if you'd like in, or if you just want to stay close to the project. One note a week, written by hand, with stories from what we're building and why. And when the gates open, you'll be the first to know.
Built by a doula for dads navigating pregnancy and birth.
