Have a question?

Hopefully, the answer is here! If not, I'd love to hear from you.

I’m not a doctor! Just a relentlessly curious mom with a spreadsheet addiction and a mild obsession with primary sources. Everything in this newsletter is based on a mix of:

Plus a generous dash of lived experience, late-night Googling, and “okay but does this happen to everyone?” energy. I make every effort to get the science right, but always check with your own provider for anything medical or specific to you.

Ah, I’m so glad you asked.

When I got pregnant, I was NOT chill. I wanted all the information I could get, subscribed to every app, and still felt totally pandered to... or stuck listening to something overly chipper about “the miracle of life” while I felt like garbage and wondered how I was going to survive that Wednesday.

I couldn’t find anything that talked to me like a real human. I wanted something that met women where they were that week (which for me, was generally exhausted, anxious, and over-researching) and still shared all the genuinely wild and fascinating things their body was doing.

Because when I understood why I felt a certain way, it helped. A lot. And yet, finding that kind of real, science-backed, week-specific info? Weirdly hard.

So I made what I needed. And also, on a personal note: I thought it would be really special for my daughter to have a record of what each week of my pregnancy felt like, in case she ever wants to go through it herself one day.

Honestly, so touched I've been asked this. Sending hugs.

I'm not doing this for money, but have quickly realized there are real costs to hosting a website, running the automations, and feeding my caffeine addiction as I write these. I’m working on ways you can support this project for free (like signing up for a registry through our link, hopefully more on that soon!). But if you’re feeling inspired in the meantime, I do have a Buy Me a Coffee page set up. No pressure, lots of gratitude.
