At 10 weeks, youâve finally come to terms with your pregnancy. Now itâs time to start thinking about spreading the word to your friends and family, if you havenât already (hands up if you Instagrammed your positive pregnancy test). Most people start sharing the big news around 12 weeks, but with a status update just a finger tap away, folks are starting to post their reveals even sooner. Whether you choose to speak out now or later, the trend seems to be to go big, bold and creative with your pregnancy reveal.

At 11 weeks, you and your partner are still fairly new to this whole pregnancy thing. And it can take some adjusting. (You wonât be the only one with major mood swings over these next few months.) If youâre in a relationship, you might be wondering how having a baby will impact your partnership: Will it make it stronger? Will it be a test of your commitment? The truth is, probably both. A strong, healthy relationship will be more important than ever once a new human being comes along, but it certainly wonât always come easy.

Itâs Week 13 and, for many of you, the fog of the first trimester is finally lifting: Youâre probably starting to feel like your old self again, minus the constant nausea and irksome food aversions. But out with the old and in with the new: With the start of the second trimester often comes extreme hunger. It sometimes feels like your body is making up for everything it missed out on in the last three months and wants to eat all food in its path. Good thing youâre eating for two... But are you, really?

At Week 14 youâre truly in your second trimesterâand with it comes a slew of body changes that youâre probably starting to noticeâfrom top to bottom. Yup, thereâs a lot more to pregnancy than just growing a baby bump, even for those seemingly blessed with a âperfectâ bump on a âperfectâ body. Thereâs nary an inch of your body that goes untouched during these 9 months, not always for the worst (hello, big boobs and lustrous hair!). And sometimes for the worst (thanks but no thanks pregnancy acne). In todayâs TMI episode, we focus on your changing pregnant body.

On this episode, weâll cover all you need to know about Week 15 of pregnancy. Weâre calling it the âIâm Not Fat, Iâm Pregnantâ period. I.e. the time when nothing fits right except old leggings and your stretchier tank tops, and whether or not you have a bump seems to depend on what you had for lunch that day.

Decisions, decisions: pregnancy can feel a little full of them at times. But at Week 16 youâre at the best part of your pregnancy, some sayâthe bit where the first trimester ickiness is in the rearview mirror and your barely-Âthere bump is far from holding you back. If youâre feeling full of energy and ready to organize the world, now might be a great time to consider your birthing options. While some may be dictated by your type of provider, itâs never too late to change your mind, or get educated on your choice of where you deliver.

For Week 17, we address the big baby name question: How do you actually pick oneâthat doesnât sound pretentious, works with your last name, doesnât make your partner question your sanity or remind you of your nemesis in 4th grade? Yup, choosing a baby name is harder than it looks.

Most parents find out their babyâs sex (if they choose to find out) during their midÂpregnancy ultrasound, usually around 18 to 20 weeksâthat is if your technician can tell (sometimes itâs still not that easy). That makes now a great time to start planning your gender revealâif you believe in such a thing. And if you have no idea what weâre talking about, youâre off the hook: Itâs a fairly new trend thatâs been picking up speed lately and, like a pregnancy reveal, there are about gazillion ways to do it.

Everyone loves to talk about the pregnancy glow, and itâs usually one of the questions youâll get asked at parties: How are you feeling; are you glowing yet? At Week 19, you may still be feeling more chubby than blossoming, and you might be battling your share of pregnancy acne and the occasional stretch mark, so feeling like a sexy mama could seem far from achievable right now. But this can change or it may not apply at allâthere are plenty of women who feel their sexiest during pregnancy.
