Really excited to launch something today. One of my wife's (@BellaMcIntire) most prominent qualities is her generosity of heart and time. This, coupled with her love of research, her professional training as a Labor, Delivery, and Postpartum nurse, and her conviction that evidence-based care and a mother's intuition aren't in competition, has made her perspective on pregnancy, labor, and postpartum invaluable for countless expecting women. Whether it's friends, family, or new introductions, many women have sought out Bella's input and perspective on every stage of pregnancy and motherhood. With that as the backdrop, Bella had the idea a few years ago to put all of her training and perspective on these subjects in one place. What originated as a one-pager eventually grew to 1,000 pages spread across six books. What started as new moms texting Bella after a positive test grew to a pregnancy companion from that first test all the way through the first year after delivery. That's what I Am Motherhood is. Earlier this year, after three rounds of editing and reformatting the books, it was time to finally figure out how to get them out to Bella's target audience. That's where I came in. A buddy of mine mentioned he'd used Claude to build an app for a client. I'd been hearing more about AI-assisted development, so one evening I joined the free tier, told it what I wanted to build, and now three months and 104 builds later, the I Am Motherhood app is live on the App Store. I'm extremely proud of Bella for the feat of writing six books, and I'm tickled the two of us together were able to build an app that does so much. On the app, all of the tools you'd usually have to download five or six different apps for are in one place: due date calculator, kick counter, contraction timer, a baby development tracker, diaper tracker, feeding tracker, and a lot more. Plus, Bella's expertise and knowledge are displayed in hundreds of tips derived directly from the books. Oh, and you can buy the books right on the app, too. Developing the app has been a true education. Three months ago, I couldn't read or write code. I still can't write, but I can read. And it's because of some of these new, powerful tools that AI has enabled for people like me. So today we're launching I Am Motherhood: the complete companion for new moms and moms wanting a better experience in pregnancy and delivery. The app is live on the App Store. I recognize most of my following are probably dudes, but if you've got a new mom or a repeat mom in your life who may be interested, let them know. Link below. TL;DR: my beautiful wife, a Labor & Delivery nurse, wrote six books on pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum, and I used Claude to build a custom platform for her business.
