Pregnancy Guide

Pregnancy is a 9-month journey that is as magical as it is unsettling. The body changes, the mind cogitates, hormones race... Between appointments, conflicting advice and a thousand questions, it's easy to feel lost.

At MotherStories, we want to support you with kindness. That's why we co-created this guide with 2 passionate gynecologists, Dr Alexia Willame and Dr Lauriane Ramyead. Quarter by quarter, you'll find clear guidelines, practical advice and useful resources.
