Calm coordination for birth support

Labor doesn't wait for a text back.

HiDoula is the quiet portal between doulas and the families they support — birth plans, appointments, messages, and a live labor connection, in one place that asks almost nothing of anyone at 3am.

$20 per birth, flat. Free to set up — no credit card to explore.

How it works

Two sides of the same calm.

  1. 01

    Invite your clients

    Send one link. Each family gets a calm, private space — no downloads, no instructions, nothing for them to set up at 39 weeks.

  2. 02

    Prepare together

    Birth plans drafted at their pace with your comments in the margins. Appointments that remind themselves. Resources sent at the right moment, not in one overwhelming folder.

  3. 03

    See labor as it unfolds

    When timing starts, your monitor wakes up. Intervals, durations, the shape of the pattern — live, so your first call is informed instead of investigative.

  1. 01

    Open your doula’s invite

    One link, and you’re in — your plan, your appointments, your doula, all in one quiet place. Setting up is free; one $20 pass covers the whole birth.

  2. 02

    Plan at your own pace

    The birth plan builder asks good questions one at a time. Your doula reads along and comments. No fourteen-tab research spiral required.

  3. 03

    When it starts, just tap

    One tap when a contraction begins, one when it ends. Your doula sees the pattern change before you have to explain it.

App and website

One calm system, every screen.

Doulas get a full dashboard on any computer. Families get a phone experience where the only tap they'll need is the big one. HiDoula installs to the home screen like an app — it lives on her phone like an app, no app store required.

The toolkit

Everything a birth needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Live labor connection

Each tap lands on your doula’s monitor in realtime — intervals, durations, the trend. She sees things picking up and reaches out, instead of you composing updates between contractions.

Birth plans, written together

A guided builder that works section by section. Your doula comments in the margins, then you finalize one clean version the whole care team can actually read.

Appointments that keep themselves

Prenatal visits, planning sessions, postpartum check-ins — templated, reminded, and exportable to any calendar. Nobody plays scheduling tennis.

Messaging without the scramble

A private channel per family, plus one-tap check-ins for the moments when typing a sentence is genuinely too much to ask.

Resources, not a pile of PDFs

Doulas curate their library once, then hand each family exactly the right thing at exactly the right week. Personal, not promotional.

Postpartum, still together

The relationship doesn’t end at the birth, and neither does the workspace. Follow-ups, check-ins, and resources carry through the fourth trimester.

Software that knows when to be quiet.

Most software wants your attention. HiDoula was built to want less of it — gentle language, soft alerts, and a screen that stays out of the way of the actual event. Birth is the main character here. We're the stage crew.

Trust & privacy

Private by design. Boring on purpose.

Your circle only

Each family's space is shared with exactly the people they invite — their doula, their partner, their support people. Nobody else is in the room.

No ad trackers, ever

No analytics scripts, no advertising pixels, no data resale. Your contraction pattern will never follow you around the internet.

Not medical software

HiDoula is a support and coordination tool — not a medical device, diagnosis tool, or emergency monitoring system. For urgent concerns, contact your care provider or local emergency services.

Good questions

Asked, answered, no fine print.

Is HiDoula an app or a website?

Both, politely. It runs in any browser and installs to a phone’s home screen like an app — no app store, no updates to chase. Doulas tend to live in the desktop view; families mostly use their phones.

Do families pay anything?

Sometimes — and only ever twenty dollars. One $20 Birth Pass covers each birth for everyone involved, and either side can pay it. Many doulas cover it and fold it into their fee; if yours hasn’t, or you’re inviting her, you can cover it yourself.

Is my information private?

Yes. Your space is shared only with the people you invite. There are no ad trackers and no analytics following you around — your birth is not a marketing opportunity.

Is HiDoula medical software?

No. HiDoula is a support and coordination tool — not a medical device, diagnosis tool, or emergency monitoring system. For urgent concerns, contact your care provider or local emergency services.

What does it cost for doulas?

$20 per birth, flat — for everyone. No monthly subscription, no tiers, no per-seat math. Setting up and exploring are free; the pass is owed once per birth, by whichever side gets to it first. Archived births keep their full history.

Twenty dollars. One birth. Everyone covered.

No subscriptions — births don't arrive on a billing cycle, so neither do we. One $20 Birth Pass per birth covers the family, their doula, and everything in between: live labor monitor, birth plan, messaging, postpartum.
