Our pregnancy calendar walks you through what’s happening to you and your baby’s development without freaking you out (too much) from the first day of your pregnancy until your due date.

First Trimester

Why do doctors add 2 weeks to pregnancy? Am I getting enough nutrients if all I want to eat is Mr. Noodle?  Why do I have sore boobs, extra saliva and why am I being asked a million times about the “first day of your last menstrual period” (LMP)? How do gynecologists figure out the date of conception?

Second Trimester

Should I announce my pregnancy before 12 weeks? What is happening with my uterus? When does my baby get eyelids? Will I ever stop puking? What can I expect from my first ultrasound? Where are the best places to find trustworthy health information and medical advice?

Third Trimester

What should I pack in a hospital bag? What are the signs of preterm labor? Where should my placenta be? Do I need to take folic acid? What do I do if I go into labor? What the heck am I going to need for this kid? Is lanugo a k-pop band

You’ll get a weekly email of easy-to-understand information along with tips and product suggestions. Click here to view all Pregnancy Weeks

It’s simple to sign up and I promise I won’t share your information with anyone else. Plus, it’s easy to unsubscribe if it’s not your cup of tea. This would be a good time to mention that the calendar has cursing in it and might not be safe for work (NSFW).

Let’s get ready for this crazy ride of parenthood!
