Month-by-Month Pregnancy Guide: What’s Happening and How to Prepare

Welcome to the journey of growing a little life! At Nestling Box, we’re more than teachers and parents—we’re your partners in every milestone. Here’s what’s happening month by month, with simple ways to prepare for your baby’s arrival.

 

Month 1-2: The Beginning

You might not “feel” pregnant yet, but big changes are already happening inside. It’s a time for rest, hydration, and starting prenatal vitamins.

Tip: Schedule your first prenatal appointment and check folic acid intake.

Month 3-4: The First Glimpse

Morning sickness, fatigue, and emotional swings may peak. Baby’s tiny heart is beating! You might get to hear or see it on an early ultrasound.

Tip: Start journaling your feelings—our Nestling Pregnancy Journal is perfect for this reflection.

Month 5-6: The Halfway Point

You’re glowing! Baby’s developing senses, and you may feel those first little flutters. Time for anatomy scans and maybe finding out the gender.

Tip: Begin thinking about your nursery setup and what tools will support early learning.

Month 7-8: Preparing the Nest

Things are getting real—hello, nesting! You may experience backaches, swelling, and stronger kicks. Baby’s brain is growing rapidly.

Tip: Stock up on essentials, practice deep breathing, and learn about newborn sensory development.

Month 9: Almost There

Your body is prepping for delivery. Baby is moving lower, and you may feel more pressure and practice contractions.

Tip: Pack your hospital bag, prep easy meals, and enjoy quiet moments before your world shifts beautifully.

At Nestling Box, we’re with you every step—from the first flutter to the first cuddle. Stay tuned for more tips and expert insights as you prepare for your baby’s arrival!
