Now’s your moment ⌚️ — 42 weeks pregnant

It's go time. We agree—you've been pregnant long enough. You've survived morning sickness, leg cramps, food cravings, due dates and impatient family members. YOU. ARE. READY. By this time, baby is fully developed and the lifespan of the placenta, which provides nutrients to baby, is running out. If you've waited this long, it's now time to give that little one some extra help entering the world—with the assistance of your medical provider. Go have a baby, you wonder woman! ✨ XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Update your Motherly profile with baby's birth day as soon as she's born so we can send you super-accurate details for life with your newborn.

Ready to go ⏰ — 41 weeks pregnant

How pregnant am I? Too pregnant. We know—you can't stand the wait. ⌚️ (We can't either!) But the countdown is now officially on, so use your bonus days pre-baby to slow down, sleep and envision your little one in your arms. Any day, baby will make his debut into the world. While you are not technically overdue until 42 weeks, we know it already feels like baby is late (you're grounded!) and your medical provider will likely start talking to you about induction planning. Your body is ready for labor, and we're just sitting here waiting for the mysterious, miraculous process to officially begin. Baby will be here very soon!XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. If you want to learn and practice labor coping skills, it's not too late to take Motherly's on-demand video birth class, which comes with bonus mp3 birth meditations you can use during labor. Deep breaths, mama! You've got this. ❤️ And remember, update your Motherly profile with baby's birth day as soon as she's born so we can send you super-accurate details for life with your newborn.

Rest up, mama —22 weeks pregnant

Being a sleepy girl with a busy life is hard. Sleep when the baby sleeps, they say. Well, are you lying down? Because now your sleepy little baby now has distinct periods of activity and rest, and may even react to loud sounds like your dog barking or fave workout music playing. (AWWW! ?) You may also be noticing your own body changing—stretch marks, weight gain and slightly swollen hands and feet. So take the break that you deserve from all this human-growing work, and schedule a Babymoon for the next 10 weeks. Rest and recharge, lady. Your baby will be here before you know it. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Worried about COVID? Here's everything we know so far.
