👶 Baby Update
Size: A grain of sand
Technically, pregnancy is counted from the first day of her last period — so this week, there's no baby yet. Her body is preparing to ovulate. The countdown has started.
💕 What She's Going Through
Nothing yet — she probably doesn't even know she's pregnant (because she isn't, technically). Her body is shedding the uterine lining and preparing a fresh one.
💪 What You Should Do This Week
- ✓If you're trying to conceive, make sure she's taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid
- ✓Cut back on alcohol and caffeine together — solidarity matters
- ✓Start tracking her cycle if you haven't already (apps: Flo, Clue, or Ovia)
🚫 Don't Say This
“Are you pregnant yet?”
Patience. Pressuring makes it stressful. Let it happen.
