Expecting in 2026? Here’s what to add to your routine!

A little morning infodump for the folks who are bumpin’ or will be soon ✨

If you’re expecting and not quite sure how to support your body as it grows & changes, these suggestions can be a good place to start.

For the physical side of pregnancy self-care.

Caring for your mental health is just as important!

This is by no means a fully exhaustive list, nor is it medical advice — take what resonates with you & do your own research too! Consult with your care team about your unique pregnancy needs.

In short…

The physical:

💦 Drink electrolytes

🌱 Probiotics

✨ Magnesium

🪷 Pelvic floor physical therapy

🧘🏽‍♀️ Joyful movement

For the mental:

🧠 Therapy (for partners, too!)

🫂 Community support

📚 Know what’s normal & when to get checked out

🪩 Plan some upcoming fun

💤 Prioritize rest

Proud of you for taking care of yourself, love! Please know that you are worthy of the same intention and care that you’re giving to nursery or baby shower prep 🫶🏼
