What Every New Nanay Needs to Know

Your quick guide to navigating pregnancy for the first time.

Becoming a mom is one of the most exciting—and overwhelming—experiences in life. If you're a first-time buntis, you probably have a million questions. Don’t worry, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Here are some essentials every new mom should know:

• Prenatal Checkups Are Key

  Regular visits to your midwife help monitor your baby's growth and keep you healthy too.

• Eat Well, Stay Hydrated, Rest Often

  Focus on a balanced diet, drink lots of water, and listen to your body when it needs rest.

• You’re Allowed to Ask Questions—Lots of Them!

  No question is too small. Your care provider is here to give you answers, not judgment.

• Your Emotions Might Feel Like a Rollercoaster—and That’s Normal

  Pregnancy hormones are powerful. Be kind to yourself and ask for support if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

• Prepare Early, but Stay Flexible

  It’s great to plan, but every pregnancy is different. Trust your body and your birth team.
