Pregnancy Checklist – Let’s Countdown to Motherhood!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Finding out you are pregnant could be pretty exciting and emotional. Often, the happy emotions are mixed up with the feeling of fear and loss as you may be wondering what comes next and what you can do to support this new life.

 

Here, we have prepared a pregnancy checklist in the lead up to meeting your new arrival!

 

First Trimester (Weeks 1 – 12)

Your body goes through many changes during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Some women may experience fatigue, nausea and frequent urination.

  • Begin taking prenatal vitamins

It is particularly critical to get enough nutrients such as iron, folic acid, calcium and Vitamin D during pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins help ensure that you and your baby receive vital nutrition for healthy development.

 

  • Drop bad habits

Smoking and drinking alcohol can be harmful to a growing baby. Quit immediately to reduce the risks.

 

  • Schedule your first prenatal appointment

The first visit is usually the longest as the doctor will examine your overall health, ask about your medical history and determine your due date. Don’t be afraid to ask anything that’s on your mind.

 

  • Take cat naps when you can

It is common to feel tired during the first trimester as your body works to nurture your baby. Grab a quick catnap whenever you can.

 

  • Cut down on caffeine

You can still enjoy coffee during your pregnancy but make sure you limit your daily caffeine intake to 200mg or less.

 

Second Trimester (Weeks 13 – 28)

The second trimester is often called the “golden trimester”, where some of the discomforts are gone & you will start looking and feeling pregnant!

  • Start an exercise routine

If you haven’t already, it is the best time to start exercising and moving around for at least 30 minutes a day. Some good options include walking, swimming, yoga or low-impact aerobics.

 

  • Shop for maternity clothes

Your belly starts to take shape and you will start to notice a small bump! You may want to consider some soft, easy-to-wear or loose-fitting clothes for comfort.

 

  • Visit the dentist

The high levels of pregnancy hormones can affect your gums, resulting in minor bleeding and swelling. Be sure to schedule your appointments with the dentist as the second trimester is the safest time for dental treatment.

 

  • Moisturizing your skin

You may be experiencing some unpleasant itching as your belly stretches and grows. Soothe these itchy irritations by applying moisturizer to your skin.

 

Third Trimester (Weeks 29 – 40)

The last 3 months of your pregnancy! By now you may be feeling a bit bulky and your baby’s size might make it hard for you to get comfortable.

  • Make a few changes to your diet if heartburn has you down

Heartburn is common during pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester. To help ease your pain, eat frequent small meals instead of three large ones a day. Stay away from spicy, acidic or fried food that can cause discomfort.

 

  • Keep track of baby’s movements

You should feel at least 10 movements every two hours. Contact the doctor if you notice any decrease in your baby’s movements.

 

  • Pack your hospital bag

 

Key things to bring include socks, toiletries, comfy clothing, sanitary pads and a going-home outfit for your little darling. Make sure you pack them a few weeks before your due date!

 

  • Set up your baby’s nursery

Cribs, strollers, car seats are a few things that need to be set up early. Don’t forget all the baby basics like diapers, bottles, wipes, baby clothes and pacifiers.

 

Get ready – the baby is on the way!

Getting excited? You should be! We hope this pregnancy checklist helps you to take some stress off. For more trusted, in-depth pregnancy tips, download our FREE Pregnancy e-book now on https://bit.ly/3wH2DKn

Important Notice to Parents and Guardians

  • Breast milk is the best for babies. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding or other food and drinks will have a negative impact on breastfeeding. After six months of age, infants should receive age-appropriate foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Consult your doctor before deciding to use infant formula or if you have difficulty breastfeeding.
