MODULE 2 NAVIGATING THE JOYS AND CHALLENGES OF EARLY PREGNANCY
The early stages of pregnancy can be both exciting and overwhelming, as your body undergoes remarkable changes to support the growth and development of your little one. In this module, we'll explore the joys and challenges of early pregnancy, providing you with the knowledge and tools to navigate this transformative journey with confidence and grace. One of the first signs of pregnancy is a missed period, followed by a positive pregnancy test.

Module 3 PRIORITIZING SELF-CARE FOR FIRST-TIME MOMS
As a first-time mom, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of preparing for your baby's arrival and navigating the challenges of early motherhood.

In this module, we'll explore the significance of self-care and provide you with practical strategies to pamper yourself, ensuring that you can show up as the best version of yourself for your little one. Self-care is often misconstrued as selfish or indulgent, but in reality, it's an essential component of your overall well-being.

During pregnancy and the postpartum period, your body undergoes significant changes, and it's essential to prioritize your comfort to promote healing, relaxation, and overall health. Invest in a supportive mattress and pillows that provide proper alignment for your changing body. Consider using a pregnancy pillow to alleviate pressure points and support your growing belly, back, and hips during sleep.
