Pregnancy Guide

We'll help you make sense of your emotional and physical changes and keep you abreast of things happening inside baby's world. Simply follow this guide through the fascinating nine months of your pregnancy.

Folic acid is vital to help you prevent neural tube defects in your baby. You will need 0.4mg every day until week 12 of your pregnancy. Start a weekly journal and describe your feelings and how you broke this special news to your partner, family and friends. Mark my words, this journal is going to give you and your family great joy, some good laughs and a tear or two in the years that lie ahead!
