Terms of Use
My Fourth Trimester Plan, operated by DoulaDoc. Last updated November 11, 2026.
Before you start
This planner helps you organize who can help you after your baby arrives. It is not medical care, and it is not an emergency service. If you or your baby may be in danger, or you are having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, contact your local emergency services right away — in the United States, call or text 911. For postpartum mental-health support, the Postpartum Support International (PSI) HelpLine is 1-800-944-4773 (#1 En Español or #2 English); in the US you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
1. Agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and DoulaDoc ("we", "us") covering your use of My Fourth Trimester Plan and this website. By creating an account or using the app, you accept them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
2. What the app is — and is not
My Fourth Trimester Plan is an organizational and educational planning tool. It helps you list your support needs, organize your people, prepare specific requests, set visitor boundaries, and plan simple next steps when something falls through.
It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or mental-health care, and it does not monitor your health or your baby's health. The message drafts and boundary wording it offers are plain-language templates you can edit, not professional guidance. Always follow your care team's instructions over anything in this app.
3. Who can use it
You must be 18 or older and able to form a contract. Use your own account, and don't share your password or let others sign in as you. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
4. Your account and your information
You create a free account with an email address and password. You agree to give us a real email address and to keep your account details current.
We handle the information you enter as described in our Privacy Policy. Please don't add medical records or other people's private information beyond the support contacts you're organizing.
5. Your content
You keep ownership of what you type into the planner. You give us permission to store, display, and back it up only as needed to run the app for you — for example, saving your plan so it's there when you sign in again, or rendering it so you can print it.
You are responsible for the content you enter, including helper names and contact details. Only add people who've agreed to be listed, and keep their information accurate and up to date. If someone asks to be removed, remove their entry.
6. Nothing is sent for you
The app never contacts anyone on your behalf. It generates messages and summaries for you to copy, print, or share yourself, and you decide who receives them and when. You are responsible for any message you send.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the app for anything unlawful, or to harm another person
- enter another person's information without their knowledge, or impersonate someone
- try to reach, change, or disclose another person's account or plan
- interfere with, disable, or load the app in ways that damage it, including automated scraping or bulk account creation
- use the app to send spam or unsolicited messages
- resell or white-label the app without our written permission
8. Third-party resources
The app displays support resources such as the PSI HelpLine and links to postpartum.net, and it may mention other services. Those organizations are independent; we don't control their staff, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices, and using them is your decision. Their phone numbers and web addresses are shown as supplied to us — if you spot an error, tell us at hello@mydouladoc.com and we'll correct it.
9. Cost, availability, and changes
The planner is free with an account. There is no charge today, and no payment is collected.
We may add, change, or remove features, and the app may be unavailable at times. We'll try to keep it running, but we don't promise uninterrupted access.
10. Your backups
Your plan is the thing you're relying on for a hard week. Please print your completed plan or copy its sections somewhere you control, and don't depend on the app as your only record.
11. End of the agreement
You can stop using the app at any time and delete your account from your dashboard, which removes your plan and account. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms, if we're asked to by law, or if continuing would put people at risk.
12. Disclaimers
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We don't warrant that it will be error-free, that your plan will always be available, or that the people you list will be able to help.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, DoulaDoc and its contributors won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost time, or the actions of other people, arising from your use of the app. If liability is found anyway, our total responsibility is limited to one hundred dollars ($100). Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
14. Indemnity
If someone makes a claim against DoulaDoc because of your use of the app, the content you entered, or a message you sent from it, you agree to cover the resulting costs and reasonable legal fees.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Kentucky. You and DoulaDoc both agree to those courts.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page, and we'll describe material changes here or by email. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the new terms.
