The Nesting Guide

Empowering parents-to-be with the tools and information they need for a healthy, happy pregnancy journey.

Planning Your Timeline

The moment you discover you are expecting, the first question is always: "When will I meet my baby?" Understanding your timeline is crucial for scheduling prenatal appointments, planning your maternity leave, and preparing your home for the new arrival.

Most healthcare providers calculate your due date based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). While only about 5% of babies are born exactly on their due date, having an estimated delivery date (EDD) helps you track developmental milestones week by week.

What Happens After Calculating?

Once you know your pregnancy week, you can dive deeper into what is happening with your body and your baby. In the first trimester, your baby's major organs begin to form. By the second trimester, you might start feeling those first tiny kicks. In the third, your focus shifts to birth preparation and final nursery touches.

Remember to share your calculated date with your OB-GYN or midwife to confirm your progress via ultrasound, which can provide an even more accurate dating scan during the early weeks of pregnancy.
