Join Eco Eve for Week 11 of your pregnancy! Your baby, now the size of a fig, is developing stronger bones and practicing tiny movements. Discover tips for self-care, nutrition, and creating a natural nursery with Wholesome Linen. Eco Eve, inspired by nature’s wisdom, is here to support you through this transformative phase.

Welcome to Week 11! This week is a key growth period for both you and your baby. Your little one, about the size of a fig, continues to develop rapidly, and Eco Eve is here to guide you through these changes and how you can support your body during this exciting stage.

Baby’s Development: At Week 11, your baby’s bones are hardening through ossification. This is crucial for the formation of limbs and the skull. As limbs lengthen, tiny muscles and nerves are starting to function, leading to small movements you will soon feel as flutters.

Morning Sickness & Symptoms: Morning sickness may ease around this time, but it’s unique for every pregnancy. If nausea persists, focus on small, frequent meals, hydration, and rest. Pregnancy rhinitis is another common symptom due to increased blood volume, and peppermint oil can help open nasal passageways and ease bloating.

Nutritional Guidance: Calcium and vitamin D are critical for bone development. Increase calcium through dairy, sardines, leafy greens, and almonds. If sun exposure is limited, a vitamin D supplement can help. Hydration is also essential, especially with the increased blood volume required during pregnancy.

Exercise During Pregnancy: Exercise benefits both mother and baby, reducing discomfort, improving circulation, and supporting overall health. Gentle activities like walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga are excellent during this stage, helping reduce stress and preparing the body for labor.

Planning Your Natural Nursery: Now is a perfect time to plan a non-toxic, natural nursery. At Wholesome Linen, we recommend organic bedding, clothing, and furniture to create a safe, healthy environment for your baby. Use our Natural Nursery Baby Registry Checklist and Pregnancy Planner Digital Download to guide your planning process.

Support & Community: Pregnancy is best shared with others who are experiencing similar milestones. Eco Eve encourages you to connect with a community of expectant mothers to share advice, experiences, and support. These connections can provide comfort and reassurance.

Join Eco Eve as we explore Week 10 of your pregnancy journey! Your baby, now the size of a grape, is growing rapidly, developing tiny fingers, toes, and even beginning small movements. Discover essential care tips, nutritional advice, and how to plan a natural nursery with Wholesome Linen. Eco Eve, inspired by nature’s wisdom, is here to support and empower you through this remarkable phase.

Welcome to Week 10!

This week marks an exciting milestone as your baby, now the size of a grape, grows at an astonishing pace. Eco Eve will guide you through these incredible changes and offer tips for supporting your body.

Baby’s Development: Your baby’s umbilical cord is fully formed, and the placenta now provides all nutrients and oxygen. Tiny fingers, toes, and nails are forming, and your baby is starting to bend their elbows. Though small, your baby is practicing movements that you’ll soon feel.

Physical Changes in Your Body: As your uterus grows, your clothes may fit tighter. Hormonal changes can cause digestive issues like constipation. Support your gut health by adding probiotics (yogurt, kefir) and high-fiber foods while staying hydrated. Regular physical activity, such as walking or yoga, can also improve digestion.

Nutrition and Cravings: Cravings might indicate your body’s needs. Sugary food cravings could mean you need more protein and healthy fats, while salty cravings might signal dehydration. Aim for 80-100 grams of protein daily and stay hydrated with electrolyte-enriched water.

Breast Changes: Your breasts may grow larger and more sensitive, and areolas may darken. Veins may become more visible due to increased blood flow, preparing your body for breastfeeding. Wear comfortable, supportive bras that aren’t too tight.

Planning Your Natural Nursery: Now is a great time to begin planning your baby’s nursery. Opt for organic bedding, clothing, and furniture made from natural materials for a healthy, serene environment. Explore Wholesome Linen’s Natural Nursery Baby Registry Checklist and Pregnancy Planner Digital Download to guide your journey.

Welcome to Week 9 of your pregnancy! This is an exciting time as you enter your third month, with your baby now about the size of a grape. Join Eco Eve, your nurturing guide, as we explore the incredible developments happening with your baby and how you can support your body during this stage.

Baby’s Development: At Week 9, your baby is making significant strides in development. The spinal cord, which previously protruded like a small tail, is now shortening as your baby’s body begins to straighten and grow. One of the most exciting developments this week is the formation of taste buds, which means your baby is starting to develop the sense of taste. Additionally, your baby’s kidneys have started to function, and they are now urinating into the amniotic fluid. While this may sound unusual, it’s a crucial process that indicates healthy kidney function and helps maintain the balance of amniotic fluid.

Physical Changes and Sensations: As your baby grows, you might notice changes in your own body, including increased urination, which is completely normal. Staying hydrated is essential, so aim to drink around 90 to 100 ounces of water per day.

Caffeine Intake During Pregnancy: There’s ongoing debate about the safety of caffeine during pregnancy. While many leading pregnancy associations suggest that up to 200 milligrams of caffeine per day is safe, recent studies suggest that there may be no completely safe level of caffeine. It’s associated with a higher chance of pregnancy complications. Consider evaluating your caffeine consumption and exploring alternatives to boost your energy, such as herbal teas, exercise, and proper hydration. If fatigue is an issue, discuss it with your healthcare provider to rule out any deficiencies.

Nutritional Guidance: Nutrition continues to play a vital role during this stage of pregnancy. Focus on eating a balanced diet rich in leafy greens, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Foods high in folate, such as spinach, beans, and fortified cereals, remain crucial for your baby’s neural development. Additionally, staying hydrated is essential, especially as your body adjusts to the increased demands of pregnancy.

Planning Your Natural Nursery: As you approach the end of your first trimester, it’s a great time to start planning for your baby’s arrival. At Wholesome Linen, we advocate for creating a natural, non-toxic nursery that promotes your baby’s health and well-being. Choose organic bedding, clothing, and furniture made from safe, natural materials to create a serene and healthy environment for your baby. Our Natural Nursery Baby Registry Checklist can help guide you in planning, and our Pregnancy Planner Digital Download is a comprehensive resource for tracking all aspects of your pregnancy.

Support and Community: Pregnancy is a journey best shared with others who are experiencing similar milestones. Eco Eve encourages you to connect with a community of expectant mothers, where you can share experiences, advice, and support. These connections can provide comfort and reassurance as you navigate the challenges and joys of pregnancy.
