Planning checklist & guidance
- Protect sleep: consistent wind-down, screen limits, side sleeping pillows later.
- Build meals around protein + fiber anchors; keep snacks in your bag.
- Move gently most days if cleared—walking counts.
- Schedule mental health check-ins like any other prenatal topic.
How to use this page with your pregnancy timeline
Insurance and employer paperwork often wants an “EDD on letterhead.” Request that explicitly so your administrative dates match your medical dates—small mismatches create big headaches for maternity leave.
When you travel across time zones, your “weeks pregnant today” number does not change because the airplane crossed midnight—but fatigue, swelling, and access to care can. Keep a printed summary with EDD and gestational age.
