Pregnancy guide
A free public guide for mothers — follow your pregnancy journey week by week, from early weeks to birth and after.
No account needed. Read anytime, share with family, then track your own dates when you are ready.
Educational information only. Always confirm care with your LHV, Midwife, or doctor.
Your pregnancy journey
Typical steps many mothers take with an LHV or Midwife. Tap a step to open that week’s guide.
- 4
Confirm pregnancy
If you have not already, visit an LHV or Midwife to confirm pregnancy and open your antenatal record.
- 8
First antenatal visit
Book your first ANC visit early. Ask about TT vaccination, iron/folate, and danger signs to watch for.

End of first trimester
Many early symptoms ease soon. Keep up rest, fluids, and any medicines your care provider advised.
- 14
Second trimester begins
Energy often returns. Keep scheduled checks and share any new symptoms with your care provider.
- 18
Mid-pregnancy check
Around this window, ask about a mid-pregnancy exam or scan and growth of your baby.
- 20
Halfway there
You are about halfway to your due date. Feel kicks if you can, and keep noting changes in movement.

Immunisation check-in
Confirm TT / EPI maternal doses are on track and ask about nutrition if appetite or weight is a concern.
- 28
Third trimester begins
Visits may become more frequent. Discuss birth place, transport, and who will support you in labour.
- 34
Birth preparation
Agree a birth plan with your LHV or Midwife: facility, emergency contacts, and what to pack.
- 36
Be ready to go
Keep your bag packed, know Rescue 1122 / local emergency numbers, and review warning signs again.
- 40
Due date window
Baby may arrive around now. Stay close to care and call your provider if labour or worrying signs start.

After birth care
Plan postnatal checks for you and the newborn, breastfeeding support, and family planning when ready.
