Mom holding a sonogram and pregnancy checklist

Ah, welcome to your pregnancy journey! This time of your life will be filled with wonder, excitement, and joy. On top of all these, your to-do list can pile up, too!

Caffeine and breastfeeding

So to help in your anticipation and preparation, I made this month-by-month pregnancy checklist for every step in your momma journey. It’s organized per trimester because I know that every pregnancy stage has its unique set of circumstances and challenges.  Get your pregnancy planner ready, read up on this checklist, and let’s get organized, momma!  

First Trimester Checklist

Woman’s first prenatal visit at eight weeks of pregnancy   The first trimester is said to be the most challenging stage for most mommas. It’s when your body goes through the transition into pregnancy, so expect hormonal changes that give you a range of symptoms. There are symptoms such as morning sickness, tiredness, and tender breasts. Think about PMS times 10! During this time, major organ systems are forming in your baby, which makes it such a sensitive time for their development. We gotta be extra careful, momma!    RELATED: Stages of Pregnancy & What to Expect Per Trimester  

1st Month

Doctor’s Appointments

  • Visit your OB-GYN. Confirm your pregnancy, let them check for any pregnancy complications or abnormalities, and ask about prenatal supplements you can take. 
 

Momma & Baby’s Health

  • Quit vices like cigarettes and alcohol. You have to be in your best physical shape since your body will now be a “home” to a life. Search for alternatives to help you curb your cravings (sucking a lollipop, drinking grape juice instead, etc.). If you’re taking any medications or supplements, consult with your doctor if they are pregnancy safe or opt for a safer alternative.
  • Switch to a healthier diet. Preparing for a baby means that you’re eating for two now. From hereon, what you eat also provides nutrients essential for your child’s development. Stock up on fresh produce, drink plenty of water, and soak up Vitamin D from the sun! 
  • Exercise regularly. You don’t have to do anything strenuous; just make sure that you do light movements such as walking and light housework.
  • Plot your families’ health history. Together with your partner, list down any genetic disorders, food allergies, and food intolerance. 
  • Give relief to your morning sickness. You can do this by eating smaller portions of food at frequent intervals and drinking ginger tea. 
  • Avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense workouts. Any activity that raises your body temperature to over 102 degrees can harm your pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. 
  • Rest and relax. Your body’s going through many changes. Take it easy and get plenty of sleep! 
  • Wash your hands and mask up! We don’t want any viruses or harmful bacteria coming our way during this sensitive time. Maintain proper hygiene throughout your pregnancy. 
 

Miscellaneous

  • Start a journal of your pregnancy journey. This is one way to document your feelings and experiences during this beautiful part of your life. You can even include photos of you, your partner, and your ultrasound as a keepsake of this moment in time. It’ll be nice to show them to your child in the future! 
  • Start reading pregnancy books. Go to your local library or bookstore, or look for books on Amazon! There are lots you can learn, so read up and do your momma research.
 

2nd Month

Doctor’s Appointments 

  • Schedule and book your prenatal appointments. Check with your doctor’s availability ahead of time so you can plan out your visit. Also, ask them for any prenatal tests they can recommend.
 

Momma & Baby’s Health 

  • Make sure to eat a healthy and balanced diet. This is a must for every step of your pregnancy journey and even beyond giving birth. 
  • Look for healthy smoothie recipes you can do at home. Look for fruit and veggie smoothies that you can enjoy without added sugar (since fruits naturally contain sugar). 
 

Miscellaneous 

  • Download a pregnancy app. This can help you keep track of your pregnancy and give you helpful tips you may need for every pregnancy stage. 
  • Start researching your birthing options. You have the choice to do it in a hospital (ideally one that follows the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative) or at home with the assistance of a midwife or doula. Read up and weigh the pros and cons.
 

3rd month

Doctor’s Appointments

  • Make an appointment with your dentist. It might be harder to leave the house as your tummy gets bigger, so better schedule a dentist appointment now while your stomach is still at a manageable size. Some hormones involved in pregnancy could also affect your teeth and gums, making you more susceptible to problems like gingivitis.
 

Momma & Baby’s Health

  • Stock up on drugstore staples that are safe for pregnancy. Buy paracetamol, antacids, and supplements based on your doctor’s recommendations. 
  • Start incorporating kegel exercises into your daily routine. This will keep your pelvic muscles strong to prepare for labor and birth. 
 

Miscellaneous

  • Check your company’s maternity leave policy. They better be preggy-momma-friendly! 
  • Take weekly pictures of your growing belly. Document your baby bump as a pleasant memory of your pregnancy journey. 
  • Check-in with your partner if you both want to know your baby’s sex. Would you like to prepare for it or be surprised?
 

Second Trimester Checklist

Say goodbye to tiredness and morning sicknessyou’ll have more energy to accomplish your to-do list!  The growing baby will soon take up more space in your tummy, too! You’ll begin to have a noticeable bump but still have enough room to move. Unless the doctor tells you to bed rest, you can be an active momma in and outside of your home.   

4th Month

Doctor’s Appointments

  • Try to discern whether you’d like to continue with your current doctor until delivery. Do they listen to your concerns? Are they attentive to your medical history and preferences? If not, then you might have to find a new doctor. 
 

Momma & Baby’s Health

  • Continue taking good care of your body. Consistently eat healthy meals, drink enough water, and keep your body moving throughout the day. 
  • Check birthing classes you can take. This may help you once you go into labor. The Bradley Method and the Lamaze Technique are some examples.  
 

Miscellaneous

  • Share the good news with your loved ones. It’s always great to hear that there will be an addition to the family. You may also need to inform your managers and colleagues about your pregnancy. 
  • Start shopping for maternity clothes. By the following months, your baby bump will grow hugely in size, so you must have the right outfit! Include a belly band and a maternity bra in your shopping list, too. 
  • Ask the mommas in your family about their birthing experiences. You will surely learn a thing or two.Plus, this could be a great time to bond with your fam! 
  • Plan a baby honeymoon with your partner. Cherish this time you have together before you finally welcome your little one. 
  • If you have other children, talk to them about having a new sibling. Let them know how this is a great gift to your family and how they can help care for their younger sibling. 
  • Start planning for your baby’s nursery. Will they sleep in the same room as you, or will they have their own room? List down what you need for the nursery, too. 
 

5th Month

Doctor’s Appointments

  • Schedule prenatal tests with your OB-GYN. Have them perform an ultrasound and anomaly scan to check for your baby’s status and health. 
 

Momma & Baby’s Health

  • Research about prenatal yoga and see if you want to sign up for a class. Doing this alleviates back pains and even stress, anxiety, and sleeping problems associated with pregnancy. 
  • Keep your diet in check. Are you still consistently eating healthy food, reaching your recommended calorie intake, and taking your supplements?

Miscellaneous

Look into insurance plans for your child. Better be prepared for their future, right? 
  • Buy oils or lotions to help moisturize your belly. Say no to dry skin and itching! Oils and lotions could also help prevent noticeable stretch marks. 
  • Plan out your baby budget. List down the expenses such, as your hospital/labor bill and baby utilities (clothes, diaper, carrier, crib, etc.). 
  • Talk to your partner about how you can handle family life after giving birth. Will your partner stay at home for a few months to help you with your postpartum recovery? Is hiring a helper or a postpartum doula an option?
 

6th Month 

Doctor’s Appointments

  • Schedule a Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) to test for gestational diabetes. 
  • Schedule a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to test for iron deficiency anemia. 
 

Momma & Baby’s Health
