The First Forty Days & Beyond
You deserve care, too.
A warm companion for postpartum. One that asks what you need before you're depleted, then puts your plan, your nourishment, your care, and your people in one gentle place.
Everyone says "let me know if you need anything." But asking takes courage you don't have, deciding takes energy you've already spent, and your partner wants to help but waits to be told.
It's not that people don't care. It's that no one knows what you actually need — including you, until the moment has passed.
The First Forty Days & Beyond changes that.
You tell the app what you need while you still have the clarity to think. It remembers for you, and gives it back — a little at a time, every day, to the people who love you.
Step one
Seven short, gentle sections — a conversation, not a form. How you like to be cared for. What partnership looks like. Who you want around you. The foods that sound good. The care that helps you heal.
Answer a section in a few minutes, pause anytime, and come back exactly where you left off. It saves as you go, and you can change anything, anytime.
Every answer has three privacy settings: Shared, Private, or Share when I'm ready. You decide who sees what, answer by answer.

where help matters most
everyday
Each morning, Today shows you what matters — three priorities drawn from your own plan, one nourishing food idea, and up to three small invitations of care. A shoulder rub. Five slow breaths. A warm drink. Permission to rest.
Feeling something? One tap —I need food, I need rest, I need help —and the app reshapes your day around it.
Food is care
No recipes. No nutrition tracking. Just warm, simple food ideas matched to how you feel right now — something fast, something warm, something soothing, or "someone else is cooking."
Tap Help Me Get Fed and the app writes the ask for you, ready to send to your Hive. Stock My Kitchen fills your pantry with twelve postpartum staples before the baby comes, so future-you never stares into an empty cupboard.
Your partner gets their own food actions too, so "what do you want to eat?" becomes a finished job, not another question.
Receiving, not achieving
Care that finds you.
Most postpartum apps ask what you did today. This one asks how you've been cared for. Every day brings a small, receivable invitation — a long hug, a warm shower, holding your baby with the phone away, stepping outside for fresh air, five minutes of nothing.
Your own care rituals from the plan are always there, and your partner gets specific acts of care to offer, each with an I've Got It button, so you can see the follow-through.
Your People
Invite your partner, your mother, your sister, your doula. Each one creates their own login and joins your Hive and the moment they do, they're in. One membership covers everyone.
Share photos and words from your days. Your people send love and leave comments right there.
The people you choose can see what you've marked Shared, so they never have to guess.
When you ask for help, it lands on your Hive's Support page instantly. Anyone can tap I've got it and take it on.
The things that would truly help, in one list. Your people mark items I've got it so no one double-buys.
motherbees
Browse the MotherBees store right inside your app, the products we trust for the fourth trimester.
See something you'd love? Add it to your wishlist, and your Hive can take it from there. Or tap through to the shop whenever you're ready.
for your partner
Observe. Learn. Anticipate. Own.
Your partner opens their own view each day and sees up to three specific things drawn from your words — the dishes you wish he'd just handle, what "I need a break" actually means to you, the visitors he should be the one to greet.
No more managing the manager of your care. He sees it, he's got it, you can see he's got it.
Yours alone
Your information stays yours.
Every single answer you write has its own privacy setting — Shared, Private, or Share when I'm ready. Nothing reaches anyone unless you say so, and you can change your mind anytime, and the change takes effect immediately.
No feed. No audience. No comparison. Just your people and your plan.
EASY ACCESS
One tap from your home screen.
Add the bee to your home screen or desktop and Today opens in a single tap.
No app store. No searching. No password hunting with a newborn in your arms.
Pricing
Up to five people join at no extra cost. Cancel in two taps, anytime.
Whichever you choose, it's the same membership and it renews automatically. No hidden fees. Cancel in two taps — and everything you've saved stays with you.
Why We Built This
Every culture protected the first forty days. It's time yours did too.
Heng Ou spent a career bringing that protection back into modern motherhood. The First Forty Days & Beyond puts it in your hands — a real plan, a real team, and support that shows up without you having to ask twice.
