Pregnancy Facts Every Mom-to-Be Should Know

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with excitement, curiosity, and sometimes a few surprises. At Motherhood Maternity Clinic, we believe that the more you know, the more confident and comfortable you’ll feel during these precious months.

Here are some interesting and important pregnancy facts to guide you through each stage:

Pregnancy is Counted from Your Last Period – Not Conception

Doctors usually calculate your due date from the first day of your last menstrual period, even though conception typically happens about two weeks later.

Every Pregnancy is Unique

Even if you’ve been pregnant before, no two pregnancies are exactly the same. Symptoms, cravings, and even belly size can vary from one pregnancy to the next.

Your Body Works Overtime

During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by about 50% to support your growing baby. Your heart works harder, and your metabolism speeds up to provide essential nutrients.

Cravings and Aversions Are Normal

Whether it’s pickles, mangoes, or ice cream, cravings are common. So are food aversions — both are influenced by hormonal changes. Just remember to maintain a balanced diet.

Your Baby Can Hear You

By around 18 weeks, your baby can hear sounds, and by 25 weeks, they may respond to your voice. Talking, reading, or singing to your baby helps with early bonding.

Morning Sickness Isn’t Always in the Morning

Nausea can strike at any time of the day, especially in the first trimester. Eating small, frequent meals can help manage the discomfort.

Sleep Positions Matter in the Later Stages

From the second trimester onwards, sleeping on your left side improves blood flow to the baby and reduces pressure on your organs.

Emotional Changes Are Part of the Journey

Mood swings are normal due to hormonal changes and the emotional excitement of becoming a parent. Support from family, friends, and your healthcare provider makes a big difference.

Staying Active is Beneficial

Unless advised otherwise by your doctor, light exercise like walking, yoga, or swimming can help with better sleep, mood, and overall health during pregnancy.

Regular Check-Ups Are Essential

Prenatal visits help track your baby’s growth, ensure your health, and address any concerns early. At Motherhood Maternity Clinic, we provide personalised care throughout your pregnancy journey.

Every milestone — from the first heartbeat to the first kick — is worth cherishing. At Motherhood Maternity Clinic, we’re here to support you with trusted medical care, guidance, and compassion at every step.
