WeeK 1: The Start of Something New

Welcome Mamas!

Though this is technically your first week of pregnancy, you haven’t even conceived yet. This week is your last menstrual period as your body enters a new menstrual cycle. Although you aren’t technically pregnant yet, it is important to consider your health and lifestyle! It is essential to eat well, supplement appropriately with folic acid, and avoid drugs and alcohol. Staying active in whatever way that you can is also important going forward. As you progress in your pregnancy, consistent stretching, gentle exercise, and balanced rest will all help to ease your discomfort and pain. Each week will highlight potential challenges and exciting changes as your body adapts to pregnancy. Each week will also bring changes to your baby’s growth and development, so come back weekly to check in!
