The advisor · Expecting
You saw blood, and it is a Sunday.
The things that happen between appointments, when the next one is eleven days away.
What people ask at this stage
Spotting at 6 weeks — is this normal?
I have not felt the baby move as much today.
Is this a headache I should be calling about?
No page on this site is titled any of those. That is the point — it answers the question you actually have, not the one someone wrote a headline for.
What it is, and what it isn't
It knows how old your children are
Every line of that answer turns on “at 8 months”. The same question about a three-week-old gets a different one. You gave us their birthdays when you signed up, so it never has to ask — and when there are two, it says which one it means.
It has the records, not just the articles
Our guides, problem pages and checkup schedules, built on the AAP, CDC, ACOG and the rest of the bodies we cite. And when the question is WHERE to go, it searches the real records behind this site — 5,419 hospitals with Medicare's own quality ratings, a federal registry of more than 700,000 clinicians, 19,003 sliding-scale health centers, 635 birth-class providers, 14,344 licensed Texas childcare operations with real inspection findings — and gives you names and phone numbers, not a link to go find them yourself.
It tells you where the line is
Notice what it did with the escalation: not “call your doctor” as a reflex, but the specific pattern that would change the answer. It is not a doctor and says so; for anything urgent it gives you the threshold and tells you to call.
It doesn't sell you anything
Describe a hard night and you get help with the night. Ask what to buy and it will tell you, from picks vetted on real review data. Nothing sponsored, no affiliate links — which is also why we can publish a list of things not to buy.
It comes with the weekly note.
Free, no account. One email a week timed to your own dates, and the advisor alongside it. Two under five? One email, each child at their own stage.
Your way in arrives with the first email — it has to come from something we send you.
It is not a doctor and does not pretend to be. For anything urgent it gives you the threshold and tells you to call someone. You can read everything it reads from.
What happens to what you type
It is saved. Your questions and its answers are kept against your session, which is the only reason the conversation is still there the next time you open it. That is also why the way in is a link we email you: people ask this about a rash, a bad night, or how they themselves are doing, and an email address typed into a box proves nothing about who is holding the phone.
What it is told about you.Your children's ages, and — only when you ask for something near you — your ZIP code. Not your name, not your email address. Your question goes to Anthropic to be answered and to Voyage AI to find the relevant pages; neither is given your email address either.
Clearing it, and deleting it. These are two different things and we will not blur them. New at the top of the advisor starts a fresh conversation — the old thread stops being shown to you and stops being fed to the advisor, so it no longer colours the answers. The messages themselves stay on our side. For an actual deletion, ask us and we will delete the lot — see how we handle your data for the address.
