Babybauch photos: how to shoot a monthly bump series yourself
A single bump photo each month only becomes a real series once the spot, light, distance and clothing stay the same. With a little effort, you can build a sequence you'll love looking back on later.

Counting contractions: the interval that matters
Practice contractions, lightening contractions, real labour: what tells them apart, how to time interval and duration correctly, and the rule hospitals use to decide when you should call.

Counting baby kicks: when to start, how, and when to call
What matters isn't the number of kicks, it's whether your baby moves the way it usually does. How counting to ten works, when it helps and when to call instead.
FAQ
How do I calculate my pregnancy week?
Counting starts from the first day of your last period, not from conception. 12+3 means twelve full weeks and three days. An early ultrasound may still adjust the due date.
When do you feel the baby move?
Usually between weeks 18 and 22, often later with a first baby. From about week 28 the movements have a pattern, and that is when counting makes sense.
When should I go to the hospital with contractions?
The usual rule: every five minutes, about one minute each, for an hour. If your waters break, you bleed or you feel fewer movements, go right away, regardless of the numbers.
